Not my will but the Lord's "Please correct me if you think I'm misguided".
I heard a radio preacher say to me that no one has seen heaven and that NDEs are lies, but I feel contested to this theory not because I feel like it's half right and half wrong at the same time, and here is why;
I'll start with my basics on why I think he's half wrong; In this world we have five realms. Our current place, the "Old Earth", The Ethereal Heaven "We die and go to Heaven", the new earth "John's heaven", Hades "Or Erebus", and the second death "Fire of hell".
He would have me think no one has been to heaven or hell and come back to talk about it, but he didn't take into account that the brothers of Lazarus have been mentioned in the books of Luke and John, while one had seen the ethereal realms of Erebus and the Heaven we will know when we die;
And I will complicate why I think he's half right; because of a book named Revelation where John speaks about a new earth, "No one has seen the new earth". Therefore no one has seen the realm of heaven. "Nothing added or taken of course".
When I try to decipher a verse in my Bible, I start with a semi-complicated passage like 1st Corinthians 13, "Love is patient love is kind", then I look at John's epistle in my favorite verse "God is Love", Then I go back to Corinthians and think 1st John 4:16, then it's "God is patient God is kind". You see what I did here? But If you go back also to Psalm 103:8-9 You basically find the same argument in plain writing in David's text.
Cool stuff there, I don't lean on my own understanding without applying scripture when it comes to what I learn from all sources, then I discern what I've learned and put it into a solid rock understanding, therefore it's understandable without the complication of "Is God involved"...
