“Since scientific materialism and Christianity both have to revise fundamental tenets to accommodate NDEs as real, neither has embraced research into them with enthusiasm.”
First, allow me to say that Christianity, consciousness, spirituality is all material. Just not to the limited perceptions of most people.
The human soul and the stored memories of life experiences since conception...are all physical to my perceptions.
I feel sin in a person’s soul just as you would feel a tree in your path when walking.
So what do feel about the sin in your own soul and when are you sure you are not projecting your own feelings about yourself onto someone else? You are saying things about yourself even the apostles never would dare say about themselves...
