Near Death Experiences

*Light* · Dec 13, 2018

Hello Family of God,

I will be discussing the topic of "Near Death Experiences", and what does the Bible say about this?

DO NOT take this as dogmatic. This is just an experience I had several years back and wanted to share my thoughts on this subject. I engaged in a debate with Pastor Howard Storm via email regarding his experience with death and coming back from the "other side". He has his own church and preaches on sin and Jesus; but somewhere during our conversation, he mentioned "reincarnation" as a fact, and that the angels taught him that doctrine. . . and I said, wait...hold up. I asked him to show me using the BIBLE where reincarnation is mentioned, and he mentioned something along the lines of John the Baptist was Elijah reincarnated (cf Mal. 4:5; Matt. 11:14; Lk. 1:17). I refuted him using simple exegesis and context from other passages in the bible and he never replied back.

Now I am not dogmatic on this, but I believe that it is possible that Paul did have a return from the dead experience (it is described by him at 2 Cor. 12:1-10); whether this took place when he was stoned at Lystra (Acts 14:19) is not really possible to say given all of the things that Paul relates as having happened to him on other occasions (i.e., there are other possibilities: 1 Cor. 4:8-13; 2 Cor. 4:7-12; 6:3-10; 11:16-33; Phil. 3:7-11), but it does seem more likely than not. What I always say about such things is this: God does give all believers experiences which demonstrate His goodness, mercy and grace, and which reinforce the truth they learned from scripture. So if we have an experience, a dream or a miraculous occurrence or any other such thing, which encourages us as to the fact that the truth we have learned is the truth, then we rejoice in the truth we already believed and in the goodness of God who reminds us of that truth by the experience He gives us. If, on the other, we have an experience, a dream or a miraculous occurrence or any other such thing, which does not accord with the truth we know and believe from the Bible, then either that experience is not from God or else we are not interpreting it correctly.

The bible warns us that Satan masquerades as an *angel* of light, and his emissaries can shapeshift and transform themselves as ministers of God. (2 Cor. 11:14), and so we are instructed to test the spirits (1 John 4:1).

When it comes to other people's experience, well, if it is some times difficult to interpret our own, how are we supposed to rely on that of others? There are no more prophets today that I can think of. Therefore while we can rejoice with other believers in the encouragement the Lord gives them, we are most definitely NOT to build doctrine or alter our understanding of the Bible in any way however small based upon these experiences of others. A Christian brother of mine claimed that his friend's wife had a NDE, and she heard otherworldly music, and the grass was literally greener on the other side. Take the one my friend reported to me:

I did not see/hear/experience this; rather I heard it from a friend.
And he did not see/hear/experience this; rather he heard it from his friend.
And he did not see/hear/experience this; rather he heard it from his wife.

In Closing:

Finally, we have no idea what his wife really saw. We can only go by what she said. All we can say is that we already knew that heaven is wonderful; if the third-hand details are correct we have no way of knowing, but we are certainly not going to accept them as if they are true because we don't know if this is what she saw, he said, he said, he said . . . etc. And in any case, it's not specifically in the Bible. I can also say that I know exactly how Heaven is like, and that the sheer beauty and majesty of it far exceeds that of any imaginary thought that may have been visualized in the mind of EVERY Christian; but that is not PROOF that can be substantiated, because it would have to be backed up and supported with Scripture.

God Bless!

I had my first encounter with someone who said he had a NDE in Vietnam after being wounded in 1970. I was very skeptical until 2009. I was supposed to have a 45 minute laparoscopy hernia. It quickly went south. I had acute kidney failure, a-fib, ileus,[bowel obstruction] and sepsis [major infection]. I no longer have any doubts about NDE.

If you don't mind can you please post the email that Dr. Howard Storm sent you in regards to reincarnation being real? I am asking as a personal favor because his NDE testimony was one of the testimonies that helped to lead me to Christ and having read his book and seen countless interviews of him I've never once heard him mention reincarnation as being biblical. He always mentioned how Jesus was the only way to Heaven and how people have a choice to either reject God and spend eternity in Hell or to enjoy a loving relationship with God.

Rawtheran · Dec 13, 2018

At 12:03 Howard gave his opinion on reincarnation stating that it is not real and goes against the very nature of Jesus and the creation. Why would he change his mind?

Scripture says that it can't happen.

Luke 16
26 And besides all this, a great chasm has been fixed between us and you, so that even those who wish cannot cross from here to you, nor can anyone cross from there to us.’

Why.

Just what can any persons account change what we know about how we are saved or the importance of being saved. If any revelation seeks to change what we know as'the gospel' it is because it is trying to change the 'gospel' automaticly wrong and is to be discarded.

Hello Rawtheran,

I want you to understanding this at the outset of this reply: that I hope you take into consideration that (Mr. Storm's NDE testimony) although it led you to the Lord in repentance and Salvation, that does not rule out that his testimony MAY be FALSE. PLEASE prayerfully examine each and every argument I have laid out below AGAINST Mr. Storms NDE, and approach this issue with an UNBIASED viewpoint. Because if your mind is already made up, then there is a STRONG possibility that such false views of the hereafter can lead MANY into deception. I have already exposed a fraud who claimed to have seen Jesus and Heaven. You can find it here:

A tour guide to Heaven and Hell

A tour guide to Heaven and Hell | Christian Forums
www.christianforums.com
Dear Beloved, There seems to be a surge of men and women who have testimonies regarding their visits to Heaven and Hell. I would like to begin by saying that I have carefully examined MANY of their testimonies using the Infallible Word of God; and I have discovered that there were so many inconsistencies between each supposed visits to Heaven and Hell among each men and women.
Now I am quite certain that this woman and her deception has led some to Christ; but we must consider the motive behind this. She not only wrote several books on her description of Heaven; she also wrote several books on hell. God has revealed to me that she had falsified her trips to not ONLY Heaven, but also Hell so that she can profit more in her greed with the possibility of gaining more money by writing more books using her false testimony of not just Heaven -- but Hell also. She said that Jesus told her that He will help publish her books. Can you discern the lie here? Jesus spoke on the topic of hell more than He did Heaven.

"Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father's house -- for I have five brothers -- so that he may WARN THEM, lest they also come into this place of torment. But Abraham said, They have Moses and the Prophets; let them hear them. And he said, No, father Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent. He said to him, if they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced IF SOMEONE SHOULD RISE FROM THE DEAD." (Luke 16:27b-31)

"And it came to pass, that the beggar died, and was carried by the angels into Abraham's bosom: the rich man also died, and was buried; AND IN HELL HE LIFT UP HIS EYES, being in torments, and seeth Abraham afar off, and Lazarus in his bosom. (Luke 16:22-23)"

Notice how the rich man upon death was immediately in a place of torment. You can carefully check the Greek Grammar regarding this verse, and it will prove that what I have said is TRUE. Here are just a FEW among MANY of Mr. Storm's statements that are completely antithetical to what the Scripture says.

There are NO demons in hell at this time, ONLY the unbelievers and the lost. The bible is absolutely EXPLICIT regarding this matter (cf. Matt. 25:41).
There are no "extra-biblical" Revelation since the closed canon of Scripture.
If we consider that Mr. Storm's tormentors were the lost and the unsaved, then it would follow logically that these people would also be in TORMENT. But we find nothing of the sort. As a matter of fact (see starting from 4:30 on in part 3/12 of his NDE), these people took "delight" in what they were doing to Mr. Storm. He further stated that these beings took "pleasure and enjoyment" in Mr. Storm's pain.
Mr. Storm had heard a voice similar to his telling him, "Pray to God". Mr. Storm then uttered some biblical phrases such as "Glory Hallelujah . . . our Father who art in Heaven". This is NOT how one "escapes" Hell; nor is it a prayer of repentance directed specifically to God Himself.
There is NO state of repentance in Hell.
His NDE gives the impression that one can "escape" Hell AFTER death. Nothing of the sort is taught in Scripture; and such a belief is VERY DANGEROUS as it could lead to a life of contentment and immorality without the penalty of Everlasting Destruction.
It is ALWAYS Jesus HIMSELF that these people claiming to have trips to Hell or Heaven are in DIRECT contact with. The Bible says that Jesus is seated at the right hand of God (Acts 7:55-56; Rom. 8:34; Eph. 1:20; Col. 3:1). The "right hand of God" refers to having *EQUAL* authority with God.
Mr. Storm was only shown several examples of just how BAD he was regarding how he treated others while on Earth. The Bible says that just the sins of "thought" and "idle words" are enough to condemn one to an Eternal Hell (Gen. 6:5; Isa. 55:7; Matt. 5:28; 12:36; Jas. 1:14-15). Are these not considered sins in the eyes of an Absolute Holy God? This is the same mentality that the rest of the world has in view; that one must be a Hitler or a Charles Manson in order to be shown guilty before the righteous standard of The Perfect and Holy God. This minimizes the seriousness of sin in God's eyes, and this also presents a DANGER to the one who holds to such a false view of sin and immorality.

Apparently Jesus failed to provide sufficient information on how one can escape the Judgment of Eternal Fire according to Mr. Storm. He could have EASILY published E-BOOKS online so that those who are concerned about their eternal fate can read it online for FREE. Why charge people MONEY to learn the TRUTH which has ALREADY been explained with PRECISION and ACCURACY in the Bible, and with sufficient data on the topic of Heaven and Hell? If you do your research, Howard Storm has written several books on his trip to Heaven during his NDE. Is NOT the bible sufficient enough for Christians to live in accordance to God's Will? Is it NOT enough to warn the LOST about the dangers of Hell and Eternal Punishment? And is the Bible NOT sufficient on how Christians ought to live in this world and not OF it? What does the BIBLE say?

"According as his divine power hath given unto us ALL THINGS that pertain unto life and godliness, through the knowledge of him that hath called us to glory and virtue: (2 Peter 1:3)"

You might be tempted to ask why Mr. Storm would even begin a church if he had no ulterior motives. Keep in mind that there are literally MILLIONS of Pastors behind the pulpit who are not there to shepherd the flock of God, but to fleece the flock because of their filthy lucre and greed. The desire for earthly pleasures and lusts are EXTREMELY POWERFUL to the unconverted.

"The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it? (Jeremiah 17:9)"

I want to make one thing extremely CLEAR: EVERY WORD regarding such a testimony MUST be compared critically with EVERY WORD in Scripture.

My email exchange with him was brief; and it couldn't have been more than a few sentences. I use Lotus Notes, and it apparently deleted it to saved space. This occurred more than 10 years ago. But I can assure you that I did have this email exchange with him, and what caused me to write him an email was that he was a guest on the Art Bell show, where he CLEARLY said that "angels" told him that reincarnation is a FACT -- even though Mr. Storm may not believe it NOW TODAY. He also said that he was "naked" in the presence of angels, and that the angels found it "humorous" that he was naked (see 8:50 on in part 5/12 of his NDE; cf. Gen. 3:21; 9:20-23; Ex. 20:26; Lev. 18:17; Isa. 47:3; Ezek. 23:29; Hab. 2:15; Lk. 8:27; Rev. 3:17-18; 16:15; etc.). Such does not make any sense considering the FACT that nakedness is NEVER depicted as anything positive, and that it is a symbol of "sin" and "shame" -- regardless if it is to be taken allegorically or literally.

Another thing Mr. Storm mentioned on the Art Bell show was that he had asked the "angels" -- NOT God, which religion is the correct one? The angels responded by telling him, "whichever religion leads you to God". They never mentioned CHRIST even ONCE. WHICHEVER religion leads to God? I find it astounding that the original Sons of God cannot even respond to such a question with accuracy and clarity. What is also VERY SUSPICIOUS is that this seems to have been edited OUT of Mr. Storm's statement regarding this in the videos concerning Mr. Storm's NDE. Even if you were to do a google search, the websites that PROVE that Mr. Storm said EXACTLY just that cannot be linked to any longer. I can assure you that Mr. Storm indeed said that. If you were to do a google search on this statement by Howard Storm, you can see the overwhelming evidence concerning this false view on which Religion is the correct one. I am SHOCKED at how ANYONE professing to Christian and TRUST in what God Himself has revealed in Scripture could believe such nonsense. The BIBLE makes it VERY CLEAR, and it is REPLETE with Doctrine having ALREADY explained it in such CLARITY and ACCURACY of the Truth of Christianity and the message of the Gospel.

This is very telling! What does the BIBLE say? It says:

"God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged. (Romans 3:4)"

You MUST understand that 95-99% accuracy in comparison to Scripture is NOT infallible, nor is it PROOF; and one MUST carefully and prayerfully take this into serious consideration. Listen to the entire interview yourself and carefully compare it with Scripture. You can find the interview here:

Nostradamus Predictions Bible Prophecy 2014 2015 Art Bell interview John Hogue Nostradamus Bible - Duration: 2:45:44. Dark Matter Files 142,034 views
One of Mr. Storm's books have a forward with author Anne Rice. Ann Rice writes mainly "gothic fiction" and "erotic" literature. Hardly someone who I would want to take part with if I were to publish a book concerning Biblical Truths.

Here is a DIRECT quote from Howard Storm:

"Reincarnation

In Part III of “The Redemption of Howard Storm” (from 11:44 – 16:16), Howard mentions that he didn’t believe in reincarnation, in spite of the fact that he remembered a life as a small girl living in a concentration camp in World War II. Based on his conversations with Jesus, Howard came to believe that the universe is not only TEAMING WITH LIFE but that a time will come when we can share the experience of beings living in other realms and worlds NOT by traveling to their worlds in space ships, but by sharing experiences telepathically. He felt a similar process was at work with reincarnation…"

You can find this quote DIRECTLY from Mr. Storm himself here: What Howard Storm Learned From Jesus & The Angels | Encounters with Jesus

The bible mentions absolutely NOTHING about other worlds existing in the Universe that have intelligent life. The problem with this view is that God Himself will ETERNALLY REIGN on a NEW EARTH, not on another planet. So why would God choose Earth as His home where He will eternally Dwell among MEN if there are other worlds out there? He also spelled "teeming" incorrectly. If this were to be TRUE, then this would fall into the category of EXTRA-BIBLICAL REVELATION. Also, Mr. Storm stated that we will one day make CONTACT with these other civilizations telepathically. The problem with this is that when you are Glorified -- you will become IMMORTAL and have capabilities that far exceed that of your current body. The Bible says that we will have a body like unto the Risen Christ (Lk. 24:31,36, 50-51; Jn. 20:19; Phil. 3:21; 1 Jn. 3:2

. Jesus was able to walk through walls, teleport, and even fly. As to why we would not be able to visit other worlds even with such power is beyond me, and makes no sense at all. Furthermore, the Bible CLEARLY says that BOTH Heaven and Earth will be ANNIHILATED to be REPLACED with a NEW ONE (Isa. 34:4; Matt. 24:35; 2 Pet. 3:7,12; Rev. 21:1). This begs the question, what happens to other civilizations when this occurs? As you can see . . . this runs into MANY problems and is against what Scripture teaches. One also wonders why Mr. Storm would mention "spaceships" if no one brought this to his attention, and such is NEVER mentioned in the TOTALITY of Scripture.

What Howard Storm Learned From Jesus & The Angels | Encounters with Jesus
encounters-with-jesus.org
Howard Storm (born October 26, 1946, in Flushing, New York) is a former atheist and art professor and chairman of the art department at the Northern Kentucky University.He is best known as the author of “My Descent Into Death” which details his near-death experience. Storm’s NDE is regarded as one of the most complete accounts of distressing near-death experiences ever recorded.
You can take this with a grain of salt. The role of Satan and his minions is to DECEIVE, MIMIC, and COUNTERFEIT the Truth of Scripture

One of the reasons why such topics as NDE is troubling most of the times is the lack of discernment in these last times before the Second Advent. I already see MASS DECEPTION and work today. And such deception can be so "convincing" to those who are not GROUNDED in the Word of God.

God Bless!

Now I am not dogmatic on this, but I believe that it is possible that Paul did have a return from the dead experience (it is described by him at 2 Cor. 12:1-10); whether this took place when he was stoned at Lystra (Acts 14:19) is not really possible to say given all of the things that Paul relates as having happened to him on other occasions (i.e., there are other possibilities: 1 Cor. 4:8-13; 2 Cor. 4:7-12; 6:3-10; 11:16-33; Phil. 3:7-11), but it does seem more likely than not. What I always say about such things is this: God does give all believers experiences which demonstrate His goodness, mercy and grace, and which reinforce the truth they learned from scripture. So if we have an experience, a dream or a miraculous occurrence or any other such thing, which encourages us as to the fact that the truth we have learned is the truth, then we rejoice in the truth we already believed and in the goodness of God who reminds us of that truth by the experience He gives us. If, on the other, we have an experience, a dream or a miraculous occurrence or any other such thing, which does not accord with the truth we know and believe from the Bible, then either that experience is not from God or else we are not interpreting it correctly.

The bible warns us that Satan masquerades as an *angel* of light, and his emissaries can shapeshift and transform themselves as ministers of God. (2 Cor. 11:14), and so we are instructed to test the spirits (1 John 4:1).

When it comes to other people's experience, well, if it is some times difficult to interpret our own, how are we supposed to rely on that of others? There are no more prophets today that I can think of. Therefore while we can rejoice with other believers in the encouragement the Lord gives them, we are most definitely NOT to build doctrine or alter our understanding of the Bible in any way however small based upon these experiences of others.

I did not see/hear/experience this; rather I heard it from a friend.

And he did not see/hear/experience this; rather he heard it from his friend.

And he did not see/hear/experience this; rather he heard it from his wife.

In Closing:

Finally, we have no idea what his wife really saw. We can only go by what she said. All we can say is that we already knew that heaven is wonderful; if the third-hand details are correct we have no way of knowing, but we are certainly not going to accept them as if they are true because we don't know if this is what she saw, he said, he said, he said . . . etc. And in any case, it's not specifically in the Bible. I can also say that I know exactly how Heaven is like, and that the sheer beauty and majesty of it far exceeds that of any imaginary thought that may have been visualized in the mind of EVERY Christian; but that is not PROOF that can be substantiated, because it would have to be backed up and supported with Scripture.

God Bless!

Very interesting indeed... although I had read My Descent Into Death several years ago I didn't know that Howard Storm believed in some form of reincarnation.

For the record.... the scriptures speak quite a bit about a part of us existing even before we are conceived.

Therefore since a part of us exists before birth there is a possibility that one of the abilities of the human soul and / or spirit..... may be somewhat like a DVD or computer hard drive.... that can be cleaned.... and then new programs put on it.

In other words... Elijah could be in heaven..... and John the Baptist be in heaven.... even if one part of the soul or spirit of Elijah was perhaps within John the Baptist.

Something along the line of this may be the best explanation for child prodigies.

John 9:2 "And his disciples asked him, saying, Master, who did sin, this man, or his parents, that he was born blind?"
For the first twenty years in which I was a Christian I assumed that this was the disciples asking another stupid question... but now I am no longer so sure.

Romans 8:29 "For whom He foreknew, He also predestined to beconformed to the image of His Son, that He might be the firstborn among many brethren."

Rom 8:30 "Moreover whom He predestined, these He also called; whom He called, these He also justified; and whom He justified, these He also glorified."

Ephesians 1:5 ...."having predestined us to adoption as sons by Jesus Christ to Himself, according to the good pleasure of His will,"

Eph 1:11 "In Him also we have obtained an inheritance, being predestined according to the purpose of Him who works all things according to the counsel of His will,"

Whatever it was that Messiah Yeshua - Jesus meant by stating that John the Baptist was the Elijah for his time period...... could have far, far, far more meaning in it than I could ever figure out.

Matthew 11

Here is how serious I think that this question could be:

The being of light of NDE fame, G-d or Satan?

*Light* · Dec 14, 2018

Thank you for your reply my dear brother in Christ!

As I have carefully studied the Bible and the message of Salvation, I have concluded there are doctrinal absolutes that cannot be misunderstood in any way -- even to a novice Bible student who has been studying the Bible for only a year. I cannot find any passage in Scripture that alludes to reincarnation as being biblical. There are two passages often used to defend reincarnation, and they are:

"And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. (Matthew 7:10-12)"

The context suggests that John the Baptist came in the *spirit and power* of Elijah when interpreted with other passages mentioned in the Synoptic Gospels (Lk. 1:17). We must also understand that Elijah had appeared at the *transfiguration on the mount* (Matt. 17:1-12), and this event took place AFTER the death of John the Baptist. So this rules out any possibility that Elijah had somehow became John the Baptist.

"And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there APPEARED unto them Moses and ELIAS talking with him. Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for ELIAS. (Matthew 7:1-4)"

"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. (Jeremiah 1:5-7)"

The context here is in reference to God's foreknowledge and predestination regarding Jeremiah. The Sovereign plan of God for Jeremiah was conceived before Jeremiah had physically came into the world (cf. Gal. 1:15). Most of the other Bible passages you quoted refers to the same doctrine of Predestination.

What is written below is for the sake of other readers who remain confused about this subject:

If we were to do a research on the occult and alien encounters, we will discover that there is ALWAYS telepathy involved to some degree. It is used to communicate with entities who are invisible, but these beings claim to have their origin on other worlds in the Universe. I have the Gift of Spiritual Discernment given to me by God, along with other Spiritual Gifts, and I can tell my readers that I can spot deception easily. I can even tell when an evil spirit enters a person, and it is usually with a certain body movement of the one who has their door left WIDE open so that evil spirits may ENTER into them (see Luke 22:1-7 and John 13:27 where Satan ENTERS Judas twice). Disembodied spirits seek bodies to possess just as homeless people seek shelter. They desire this so much that they would even consider entering unclean animals such as swine. These "aliens" have told humans that they were originally from Venus or Mars; but when science has proven that there is absolutely NO LIFE on those planets, these little liars then change their stories to them originating from other solar systems or planets that are too far to reach with human capability.

Aleister Crowley was one of the most wicked men ever to walk this Earth. He supposedly made contact with an entity named "Lam" through telepathic communication. People who claim to have been abducted by "aliens" say that these entities communicate with them telepathically. Notice how we will never find ANY mention in the entirety of Scripture which speaks of such a method of communication. One might argue that God is able to know our thoughts (cf. Gen. 6:5; 1 Chron. 28:9; Ps. 94:11; Matt. 9:4) -- but understand that it has NOTHING to do with US being able to communicate BACK TO GOD via telepathy. We MUST keep in mind as to How Satan deceives people. There are similarities to what these "aliens" (demons in body-suits) teach humans and their connection with Satanic Deception and NDE's.

Reincarnation
One can escape hell
Jesus is NOT the only way
Telepathic Communication with otherworldly beings

So once again . . . one should find it VERY DECEPTIVE that angels would tell Mr. Storm that "whichever Religion" leads one to God is the correct one when asked, "Which is the correct religion?" What did Jesus HIMSELF say?

"Jesus saith unto him, I AM THE WAY, the truth, and the life: no man COMETH unto the Father, but by me. (John 14:6)"

How many religions are in the World today? There are over 4,000 religions in existence today. What can we discern from this? It can lead MANY into wasting their time and effort searching for WHICHEVER Religion LEADS them to GOD when the answer is CLEARLY found in Scripture. Some may "feel" that a religion that is NOT Christianity is the one that LEADS them TO God.

"And ye shall KNOW THE TRUTH, and the truth shall make you free. (John 8:32)"

"Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and BROAD IS THE WAY (false religions, worldliness, etc.), that leadeth to destruction, and MANY there be which go in thereat: Because strait is the gate, and NARROW IS THE WAY, which leadeth unto life, and FEW there be that find it. (Matthew 7:13-14)"

Fallen angels once lived in the very presence of God Almighty, and they know exactly the precise details of this Eternal City in the Third Heaven. They can easily MIMIC and COUNTERFEIT the real deal with 99% truth with 1% lies -- and truth mingled with lies equals DECEPTION.

"And no marvel; for Satan himself is TRANSFORMED into an angel of light. Therefore IT IS NO GREAT THING if his ministers also be transformed as the ministers of righteousness; whose end shall be according to their works. (2 Corinthians 11:14-15)"

More research on this subject reveals that almost EVERY TIME someone purports to have had a visit to Heaven or Hell -- it is ALWAYS Jesus Himself that appears to them. I would like to ask them, "How did you know with ABSOLUTE CERTAINTY that this being was Jesus? Did he have a name tag which read, "JESUS"? Also consider the fact that those who claim to have seen either Heaven or Hell NEVER see the godly men found in the Bible (e.g., "The Apostles or the Patriarchs") -- it is ALWAYS Jesus! This deception is used to dupe the hearer that such false testimonies are MORE Truthful because of their "personal" encounters with Jesus. None of these people who claimed to have had a visit to Heaven or Hell ever describe them FALLING FLAT ON THEIR FACES due the Absolute Majesty and Sovereignty of Almighty God (cf. Gen. 17:3; 1 Kin. 18:39; Num. 20:6; Neh. 8:6; Ezek. 1:28; Matt. 17:6; Rev. 7:11.) Even the angels are so impressive in their appearance that godly men and unbelievers in the bible fell before them on their faces, with some out of fear (Matt. 28:3-5; Rev. 22:9).

"And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and LYING WONDERS, And with ALL DECEIVABLENESS of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. (2 Thessalonians 2:8-10)"

"For THE MYSTERY OF INIQUITY doth ALREADY work: only he who now letteth will let, until he be taken out of the way. And then shall that Wicked be revealed, whom the Lord shall consume with the spirit of his mouth, and shall destroy with the brightness of his coming: Even him, whose coming is after the working of Satan with all power and signs and LYING WONDERS, And with ALL DECEIVABLENESS of unrighteousness in them that perish; because they received not the love of the truth, that they might be saved. And for this cause God shall send them strong delusion, that they should believe a lie: That they all might be damned who believed not the truth, but had pleasure in unrighteousness. (2 Thessalonians 2:7-12)"

The words "strong delusion" (Grk. "energeia plane" -- literally, "energy of deceit") speaks of a delusion so deceiving, that if one who fails to take heed to the direct commands of Scripture, and ignores them by following human beings instead of the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY . . . they will fall captive to the lies of the devil and his demons. Satan does NOT appear with horns, hooves, tail, and a pitchfork. He appears as an "angel of light" -- and his minions appear as "ministers of righteousness".

Another form of deception which was revealed to me in Howard Storm's NDE was that he claimed that God expressed "care" for him by a sense of being "patted" or "rubbed" on the back. God is to be worshiped in Spirit and in Truth (cf. Ps. 51:6; Jn. 4:24). He IS Spirit (not God is "a" Spirit; but Spirit). A "feeling of touch" in a dimension or realm which is spiritual in nature raises red flags. I am also an expert in voice analysis, and it sounds to me that Mr. Storm "truly" believed what he had experienced during his NDE. However, this does not rule out the possibility that he was most likely being deceived by VERY cunning and underhanded deception. Now one must decide whether to believe Mr. Storm's NDE testimony or not. So my advice is to pray over such experiences; and also make it an all out effort to study it in the light of the entirety of Scripture.

We must also understand that fallen angels have superior technology than that of any human mind here on Earth, and the reason behind this is because they have learned knowledge passed on to them DIRECTLY from God Himself. They have the capability to enter and exit this dimension at will; which means that they are *hyper* or *extra-dimensional beings* with knowledge and understanding that far surpasses that of any human mind here on Earth. When the bible says:

"And as it is appointed unto men ONCE to die, but AFTER THIS the judgment: (Hebrews 9:27)"

This is speaking of the FINALITY of death where the *spirit* of man is "separated" from his earthly body. Death is NOT a cessation of life; rather it is a separation of something to which it naturally belongs to. Being brought back from "clinical death" is not the FINALITY of physical death -- and it is only the faulty view of "human understanding" regarding death that causes such great confusion of when death TRULY occurs. God has designed the human body to know when it is to *separate* itself from the spirit upon the FINALITY of physical death. There are highly advanced beings who are under the authority of Satan who would have no trouble at all "taking advantage" of the spirit of a man when he is momentarily separated from his physical body. The FACT that demons can "possess" the body of an individual shows that these evil entities are fully aware of the distinction of the physical body of man and his spirit (i.e., How they are "joined", and how they are "separated").

"For as the body WITHOUT the spirit is dead, so faith WITHOUT works is dead also. (James 2:26)"

In Closing:

In this FINAL church age, we must never take deception lightly in any way, shape, or form. The Devil and his minions are ancient, and have been around before the Creation of man. They have carefully studied the habits of humans, and they are likened unto demonic psychologists. They know what entices man, and what gives man a sense of well-being. They know what brings men to fear, and what worldly desires lead men astray. Man is by nature prideful, and one deceptive strategy is to give mankind a false sense or grandeur or importance in this life -- but WITHOUT the TRUE God in the picture. As with ANY battle, there is an order to it which is far more complex than any physical wars fought here on Earth. Examples are:

Attrition
Coercion
Distraction
Divide and Conquer
DECEPTION
Exhaustion
Siege

These are just a few of their tactics; but it is far more advanced than this. The enemy and his evil forces main strategy is DECEPTION above all else.

"And I beheld another beast coming up out of the earth; and he had two horns like a LAMB, and he [spake] as a DRAGON. (Revelation 13:11)"

The higher levels of deception involve deceiving people through false assurance, false peace, and false hope.

God Bless!

I'd be interested in what you saw or did that makes you think you had an NDE. Thanks. How did you enter your body again? What was it like going back into it?

I will PM you. I don't want to put it in a post.

But what if those unusual scriptures stated even by Messiah Yeshua - Jesus are nothing like the reincarnation as taught in Buddhism or Hinduism?

What if it is just that there are a limited number of possible "souls" that can be given to each new human that is born?

One near death experiencer was shown that there are seven spirits of G-d...... fourteen Elohim........ seven male and seven female.

They were shown that a part of one of the fourteen Elohim is given to each human that is conceived. So perhaps all that Messiah Yeshua - Jesus meant by stating that John the Baptist was somehow "Elijah" might just mean that both Elijah and John the Baptist had their personality, their identity and their memories somehow recorded on a small part of the same member of the Elohim????

Genesis 1

And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.

27 And God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

28 And God blessed them: and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it; and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the heavens, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth.

Thank you for your reply my dear brother in Christ!

As I have carefully studied the Bible and the message of Salvation, I have concluded there are doctrinal absolutes that cannot be misunderstood in any way -- even to a novice Bible student who has been studying the Bible for only a year. I cannot find any passage in Scripture that alludes to reincarnation as being biblical. There are two passages often used to defend reincarnation, and they are:

"And his disciples asked him, saying, Why then say the scribes that Elias must first come? And Jesus answered and said unto them, Elias truly shall first come, and restore all things. But I say unto you, That Elias is come already, and they knew him not, but have done unto him whatsoever they listed. Likewise shall also the Son of man suffer of them. (Matthew 7:10-12)"

The context suggests that John the Baptist came in the *spirit and power* of Elijah when interpreted with other passages mentioned in the Synoptic Gospels (Lk. 1:17). We must also understand that Elijah had appeared at the *transfiguration on the mount* (Matt. 17:1-12), and this event took place AFTER the death of John the Baptist. So this rules out any possibility that Elijah had somehow became John the Baptist.

"And after six days Jesus taketh Peter, James, and John his brother, and bringeth them up into an high mountain apart, And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his raiment was white as the light. And, behold, there APPEARED unto them Moses and ELIAS talking with him. Then answered Peter, and said unto Jesus, Lord, it is good for us to be here: if thou wilt, let us make here three tabernacles; one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for ELIAS. (Matthew 7:1-4)"

"Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations. (Jeremiah 1:5-7)"

The context here is in reference to God's foreknowledge and predestination regarding Jeremiah. The Sovereign plan of God for Jeremiah was conceived before Jeremiah had physically came into the world (cf. Gal. 1:15). Most of the other Bible passages you quoted refers to the same doctrine of Predestination.

What is written below is for the sake of other readers who remain confused about this subject:

If we were to do a research on the occult and alien encounters, we will discover that there is ALWAYS telepathy involved to some degree. It is used to communicate with entities who are invisible, but these beings claim to have their origin on other worlds in the Universe. I have the Gift of Spiritual Discernment given to me by God, along with other Spiritual Gifts, and I can tell my readers that I can spot deception easily. I can even tell when an evil spirit enters a person, and it is usually with a certain body movement of the one who has their door left WIDE open so that evil spirits may ENTER into them (see Luke 22:1-7 and John 13:27 where Satan ENTERS Judas twice). Disembodied spirits seek bodies to possess just as homeless people seek shelter. They desire this so much that they would even consider entering unclean animals such as swine. These "aliens" have told humans that they were originally from Venus or Mars; but when science has proven that there is absolutely NO LIFE on those planets, these little liars then change their stories to them originating from other solar systems or planets that are too far to reach with human capability.

Aleister Crowley was one of the most wicked men ever to walk this Earth. He supposedly made contact with an entity named "Lam" through telepathic communication. People who claim to have been abducted by "aliens" say that these entities communicate with them telepathically. Notice how we will never find ANY mention in the entirety of Scripture which speaks of such a method of communication. One might argue that God is able to know our thoughts (cf.

The seven spirits of God are not apart of God's nature, they are just 7 highly intelligent spiritual created beings that serve him in the throne room kinda similar to the creatures mentioned in Revelation that also serve at his throne. God's nature is a triune nature where he is three but one in essence and nature. This is where the Trinity concept comes from
