I don't doubt he had "near death" experiences, but I doubt his premise that "nobody is going to hell".
New York Times bestselling author Dannion Brinkley, 74, said he knows what happens when we die after he encountered three near-death experiences of his own.

Despite that, Moody and Brinkley, who said he had his third NDE during brain surgery, continued to defend their experiences and theories.
Brinkley told the outlet that his experiences have proved to him that 'nobody's going to hell.'
'So, when you learn you don’t die, when you learn you’re a spiritual being, you’re not going to go to hell. That’s enough to inspire you to change,' he continued.
Apparently Adolf Hitler, Josef Stalin, Saddam Hussein and Genghis Khan weren't even judged, and they changed for the better promising never to murder or torture another person if they went to heaven.
I'm biased as I claim my father turned up the night he died. During the proceedings he said "I died tonight" and "It wasn't easy for me either you know, and I never had a chance to see anything like this!". I replied "I know that! I knew that by the time I was twelve!"
He looked a bit shocked at that comment. He also pleaded for forgiveness saying "Son, you've got to forgive me! ... If you don't you'll destroy yourself!" When I snapped back "You treated me like dirt for 20 years and now you want forgiveness!!" He replied "It's not for me! It's for you! It's too late for me! All I was expected to do was to look after my own family and I didn't even do that!"
I can't see a demon pleading that I forgive him.
Our proceedings finished with an absolutely terrifying scream on his part, and it was obvious something was coming for him. Then he just disappeared and I haven't seen him since.
If he went to Hell primarily because he'd been cruel and abusive to us, and hadn't looked after his own family, I can't see the likes of Hitler et al passing "Go" and getting a "Get Out of Jail" free pass.
But that wasn't a 'near death' expericnes - he was quite dead with his body lying several miles away not to be found for four days, and I was well and truly alive having been woken up from a fitful sleep on a hot January night.
I might add that when my mother's brother turned up to tell me he had died, but it was a mess as he hadn't been found for four days I remember counting back four nights and thinking to myself "What the hell was that the other night??!" My uncle saw the look on my face and said "Are you alright?" He thought I was reacting to the shock of my father's death, but I wasn't. I was thinking about our exchange four nights before.
On another computer I've got a scan of his death certifcate and a photo of his gravestone. There's four days difference between the dates - 11 January 1979 and 15 January 1979. Occasionally I think about posting them on the forum as "evidence". That was his sisters' idea as they didn't want his mother to find out he'd been dead for four days before he was found. She'd already lost her youngest son at the age of 31 due to an unexpected brain embolism. They lived to their 80's and near 90's if I remember rightly, but her sons died much younger. Anyway that's about the only "evidence" I can provide.
I have no doubt judgement and Hell are real, and of course, Heaven and Purgatory. I disagree with Mr. Brinkley on that one.
