The trouble is that these type of stories abound even among people with little religious background or belief in the afterlife. There is a whole science on the study of near death experiences which man's science alone cannot explain.
One of the better authors I read on the topic wrote an outstanding book on the topic. He was an MD and an atheist when he set out to research people who had NDE's or measured their vital reactions as they passed away. He became a Christian after he completed the research for the book. It was excellent, but I cannot remember the name of the book or the author.
FWIW, I was with an older brother in his final days before he passed away. He described conversations with long gone relatives who I had barely heard of or knew little about. Later, when I checked out the specifics of these conversations with older relatives who knew them better, they were astounded by the details of what my brother related. I've got to believe he was drifting in and out of an NDE in those final days.
Very moving story...
Absolutely indeed.
Prissy pharisee types seem to have a very big and arrogant ego investment in trying very hard and vainly to package God in THEIR tiny presumed tidy little boxes.
THE GOD OF ABRAHAM, ISAAC AND JACOB IS MUCH TOO BIG FOR THAT.
However, they can’t seem to tolerate God being God and bigger than THEIR constructions on HIS reality.
What idiocy.
I think the Doctor’s name you’re talking about is: Maurice Rawlings M.D. he wrote “Beyond Death’s Door” and “To Hell and Back”
