Subject: CBN: neardeath to hell and back? ?? |
Bible Note: BradK: Good answer. I watched the programs myself. Those who shared their "death" experiences for the most part really felt what they experienced was reality for them. Some gave testimony of how this experience changed their life. One man so changed his life after experiencing what he thought was "hell", he surrendered to Jesus Christ as Lord. He became a pastor because he wanted no one else to go to hell where he claimed to have seen. Personally, I find these testimonies subject to question. No matter how much is said to bring these people into question, it gets down to how has this experience changed the persons life to become closer to the Lord. Near death experiences are not new, and there is no one who has not undergone such an experience to fully explain or understand how this happens. Personally in the NT Joseph was changed to accept and marry Mary who was pregnant with Jesus, and was told to do so in a dream. Paul was changed by a blinding light and Jesus speaking to him, which no one else heard. I totally believe what Scripture says about Joseph and Paul. I myself have had God speak to me, not in words we can hear, but in the very soul of my heart. This experience has had a profound lasting change in my life and that was thirty five years ago. The Holy spirit speaks to us today by the reading of the Word of God, perhaps in dreams, from the preaching of His Word, and life experiences. I have no idea if all the people on the 700 Club telecasts were true. I had some doubt on some, and others i believed the testimonies to be true. If God was glorified and the person did not contradict Scripture I believed their testimony. justme |
