Bible Note: Greetings Kw5kw! It could also by that these same individuals understand that Scripture is our only rule of faith and practice, not 'claimed' experiences. No one should 'scorn' you for having an experience. :-( But, just because someone claims to have had an experience does not make it necessarily 'real' or 'true'. In the case of 'near death' experiences, there is nothing in Scripture that 'rules' them out. So, I certainly believe that they are possible. However, there is also no way to verify a 'near death' experience. So, I don't see that they are very valuable as a witness. Unbelivers believe lots of things, but that doesn't make them true. :-) How many times have unbelievers watched the guy on the SciFi channel who supposedly contacts the dead? ;-) How many times have unbelievers listened to those who claimed that some alien spiritual master was channeling answers to questions through them. These were all claimed 'experiences', but we know from Scripture that they are false and evil. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
