Could have been a temporal lobe seizure.

I watched the video, all I can say was his experience was subjective. All the things he saw could have been fed to his sub-conscious through culture. How did he know the demon was 13 foot tall? Why not 12 or 14? He even recognized the demon from a video??

I hope my post has added something rather than just saying "NO!". But in the end, I think hell does not exist.

This is one NDE experience. 1... Out of hundreds even thousands. They all contradict each other. This really proves nothing. If there is a hell it would be for killers or rapists. The bible says if you aren’t a virgin when you are married you will go to hell. Also if you do not believe in god you go to hell. I believe hell would be very different then it was interpreted by the bible. Someone posted something on here and said "how could god be caring and loving, if I someone who has sin wouldn’t even punish someone for eternity” If there is hell it would not be anything that is related to the bible, or the christian religion.

In this man's case, it wasn't even a NDE. Gotta watch the video, though honestly I only watch so much of it myself before I lost interest.

I believe you create your own heaven and hell through the choices you make through out your life time. Heaven and Hell on earth, thats it.

Please enlighten us where it says that.
Nice try, but, no, it doesn't state that in the Bible.
Prove me wrong. =P

All those who did not follow thee Koran will face the judgement of Allah.

To all posters, kindly refrain from the topic of NDEs, this man had a revelation from god, not an NDE.

I'd be more than happy to respond in a thread about NDEs, but thats off-topic for this thread.

Thank you all for participating though.

EDIT: Removed the first and last parts because they were off-topic.

In regards to the views expressed by this man in the video you provided, could you please answer the following questions:

1) Can you explain how a loving, benevolent God could create or allow to exist a place where souls will suffer for ETERNITY because of their beliefs/actions in a world where God gave them limited ability to understand his true nature and their purpose?

2) Can you explain how an all-knowing God could allow free will to humans, knowing before they are even created that a very large proportion of humans would choose to do evil and make good people suffer?

3) Why did God give humans free will? Would it not have been more simple to prevent those who choose evil from ever existing in the first place?

4) Why is God, as according to the big religions, so insecure that he needs His creations to pledge allegiance to him, when they are born into a world which allows them to doubt?

Interesting video. Makes you really wonder about hell. If something like that is real I definitely do not want to experience it. But how exactly am I supposed to do that? I've already sinned in my life so now what?

I was just reading about the Ten Commandments and I can barely understand what some of it means. Why is it that God only intervenes so intricately on our planet back in the day when we were primitive? Why can't he intervene right now and give us an update that we can understand?

I honestly want to understand God and what it is he wants of me, but how am I supposed to do that when his scriptures are written practically in a different language? The Ten Commandments even talks about your neighbor's male or female slave, and their ox, and their donkey. That stuff doesn't even make sense today in a modern society.

God even admits that he is a jealous God, so if he's so jealous and wants us to behave a certain way while we're on this planet why doesn't he give us an update? Don't you think it's long overdue?

Also, the movie portrayed Satan as ruling over hell, but I thought Satan is supposed to be fighting against God? Why would God send people to him as if they have some sort of agreement or something? Why would Satan care about worldly affairs when he's busy having so much fun watching over hell?

If hell is eternal and real then I look forward to being in it. I do not want to pray under a god that would torture you for eternity due to your beliefs. Him doing that would be like a father killing his own son because he is gay.

I suppose we'll eventually find out first hand.

I note that some real SOB's that didn't have any religion before their own near-death experiences, upon returning told some things that scared the "hell" out of them.

They believed to so thoroughly that they caught a glimpse, they reversed their lives entirely.

Odd, for non-believers to do something like that.

Especially if it doesn't exist.

You need to seriously have a Warning on the video about the nausiating christian pushing in this video.

That aside, I would like to discuss the possibilities of this existence.

I personally have had contact with Angels, Demons, and the afterlife. I know they all exist, and I know God isnt all "good and perfect" like some of the bible preaches. God created Jealousy- Hatred- therefore he has it himself. How could he create something he never experienced? Even if he doesent harbor these emotions, he feels them through his creatures that he created called Humans and other life forms- and it has left him with a rather bad taste in his mouth.

for all of my travels in astral space, and to the afterlife, it is clear to me that these places- this place hell existed for this man. He went to a real place- and its real because HIS RELIGION FEAR MONGERS THIS HELL INTO EXISTENCE.

To believe in something is to give it life and creation. Christians who learned or feared hell, and believed they were going to go there when they died- go there.

Buddists, Taoists, Jewish, New Age etc.-- dont go to hell. We dont give it power. I personally know it exists, in different ways, for different species and dimensions-- but I know I am a good soul. I have never intentionally maliciously hurt someone in my entire life, however have been the victim of countless atrocities from family members and ex boyfriends that I know evil exists. And that evil is there- in a place called hell, if they fear it.

There are so many many wandering lost souls in limbo afraid of crossing over from being "thrust to hell" it really makes me very deeply saddened. God really dropped the ball when it comes to interdimensional soul transitions. There arent always guides to show you to the otherside and lots of people get lost inbetween and chose to stay earthbound- which is all they know. How could you blame them?

When I get back up there I plan on changing somethings. I have done hundreds of spirit rescues which in my opinion never should of happened. People always want to beleive that their spirit will immediately cross over but thats really about a 75% chance. the other 25% get stuck- and because of their differing belief systems- limbo is a scary place for most. The need for compassionate people like myself to help these souls is real.

In my opinion, Limbo is equally Hell.
