The Christian Research Institite opines on the subject.
This author says NDE "messages are not compatible with biblical Christianity." (I have no opinion on the subject).
This website has links to medical data, Biblical information and prophecy on the subject.
What I want to know was when was Patton a member of the Joint Chiefs, and when was the "Personal physician" to them born? To be what he claims to have been would require him to be about 90 years old if not more.
Howdy there Gumlegs;
Thank you very much for the links. :)
As I said on another thread...with me being a Christian...I only believe in the NDE's that line up with God's Words.
And not everything here does:

Like I don't believe in reincarnation "now" (but I use to when I was a athesist)...because the Bible says:
Hebrews 9
27 And just as it is destined that each person dies only once and after that comes judgment,
28 so also Christ died only once as a sacrifice to take away the sins of many people. He will come again but not to deal with our sins again. This time he will bring salvation to all those who are eagerly waiting for him.
But I firmly believe that God is allowing folks to have NDE's to serve as a warning to all the unbelievers out there. He doesn't want anyone to be lost.
The Rich Man and Lazarus
19 Jesus said, “There was a certain rich man who was splendidly clothed and who lived each day in luxury.
20 At his door lay a diseased beggar named Lazarus.
21 As Lazarus lay there longing for scraps from the rich man’s table, the dogs would come and lick his open sores.
22 Finally, the beggar died and was carried by the angels to be with Abraham. The rich man also died and was buried,
23 and his soul went to the place of the dead. There, in torment, he saw Lazarus in the far distance with Abraham.
24 “The rich man shouted, ‘Father Abraham, have some pity! Send Lazarus over here to dip the tip of his finger in water and cool my tongue, because I am in anguish in these flames.’
25 “But Abraham said to him, ‘son, remember that during your lifetime you had everything you wanted, and Lazarus had nothing. So now he is here being comforted, and you are in anguish.
26 And besides, there is a great chasm separating us. Anyone who wanted to cross over to you from here is stopped at its edge, and no one there can cross over to us.’
27 “Then the rich man said, ‘Please, Father Abraham, send him to my father’s home.
28 For I have five brothers, and I want him to warn them about this place of torment so they won’t have to come here when they die.’
29 “But Abraham said, ‘Moses and the prophets have warned them. Your brothers can read their writings anytime they want to.’
30 “The rich man replied, ‘No, Father Abraham! But if someone is sent to them from the dead, then they will turn from their sins.’
31 “But Abraham said, ‘If they won’t listen to Moses and the prophets, they won’t listen even if someone rises from the dead.’
Not that any of them will listen as we were already told.
