2 Corinthians 12:1-4 it talks about what it looks like an out of body experience.I was just wondering.If God would help a non believer have an out of body experience.Just because he wanted them to.
What God wants is for people to recognize his goodness; that he's the boss, he knows better, and we should listen to and obey him. If someone wants some kind of religious experience, but they're not prepared to obey his teachings, then whatever experience they have will be useless. We can see that in many charismatic churches today where people claim to have tremendous, earth-shattering, miraculous experiences, and yet in their day-to-day, practical lives they don't even try to obey Jesus.
Also what if They were in front of God Like john the apostle?Would that help them believe?
The people in Jesus' day saw many miracles. Some of them believed as a result, but many of them did not. At one point, after miraculously feeding thousands of people, those same people chased after Jesus the next day; they wanted to make him a king. Amazing, right? As King, Jesus could have instituted moral laws and decrees etc. But, Jesus knew better. He rebuked them because they were only following him to get more miracles and sure enough, their response was, "If you really are who you say you are, show us another miracle". They wanted him to be king, not because they believed he had the truth, but because they wanted to exploit his miraculous powers for their own selfish interests.
At one point Jesus practically pleaded with the religious leaders that if they were not willing to believe him for the sake of the truth of his words, to at least believe him because of the miracles, but the record shows that whether it's words of truth or practical-reality miracles, some people will not believe simply because they do not want to submit themselves to God's authority.
The Revelation makes this message pretty clear, too. It describes two sets of miracle workers; one set is the Beast and False Prophet, both of whom are described as having the power to call fire down from Heaven, which they use to shock and amaze the world (though Paul refers to this as
lying signs and wonders).
The second set is the two witnesses, who are described as having the power, (among others),to burn their enemies with fire from their mouths. The surrounding context indicates that this is a literal fire and not metaphorical (i.e. powerful speech).
Two sets of two, both performing miracles; anyone who's faith requires the performance of miracles will almost certainly be deceived by the wrong set of two (who use their power to amaze, as opposed to God's messengers who use their power to rebuke).
Miracles, no matter how amazing, simply will not guarantee faithfulness, loyalty, or integrity. Jesus makes this point clear to the disciples when, after he was resurrected, he shows himself to some of them. However, one disciple who did not see Jesus during these prior visits was Thomas. He doubted. He said, "Unless I see the man himself, his wounds, and touch those wounds with my own two hands, I will not believe"! Then, a few days later he did see Jesus and
Jesus asked him to touch his wounds and as a result Thomas expressed his belief. Jesus was glad for this, but he included an important caveat; he said, "You believe because you have seen, but rather blessed are those who believe even without seeing".
In other words, those people who need some kind of miracle to believe in Jesus actually have
less faith than those who are willing to believe simply because they're responding to God's spirit of truth. \
In
2 Corinthians 12:1-4 it talks about what it looks like an out of body experience.
I believe Paul is referring to John's witness to the Revelation; Paul saw what John saw. Notice that he starts out by referring to visions and revelation of the Lord. In other places Paul also refers to the abundance of revelations he's had, the "mysteries" of God, and references which are consistent with lessons from the Revelation (i.e. he says that death will be the last enemy defeated; in Revelation 6:2-8 we read about 4 hoursemen, the first being Jesus riding out to conquer and the forth (last) being death).
However, despite these allusions to his exposure to miraculous revelation from God, and even despite his initial miraculous vision from Jesus (which triggered his conversion) I believe that Jesus only offered such miracles because he knew that Paul was sincere enough not to need them. To be sure they helped and encouraged him, but we also see that Paul went through some pretty serious suffering, too. When one of the believes expressed incredulity at a persecutor like Saul suddenly converting and requiring trust, Jesus responded with, "I will show him how greatly he must suffer".
It's easy to look at Paul's example today and build a statue to his greatness; it's easy to admire him and wish that we could have the same kind of access to spirituality; to witness miracles, to heal, to cast out demons, but very few of us would be willing to suffer the way he did.
