NDE can be resembled with dreaming. The dream or NDE experiance will vanish as soon as the mind stops functioning.
I can show you a host of NDE testimonies from people who had no brain activity at the time of their NDE. (Clinically dead)

Yes i bet you can, but you can not prove if the dreams they had occurred just before they lost their brain activity or if they had the dream right after they gained brain activity.
There is no way the person who is experiencing NDE "dreams" ever knowing the exact time the dream took

These NDEs are without brain activity, and many times the person experiencing the NDE will state things that the doctors were wearing, saying, and doing inthe operation room. That's one of the remarkable things that these people's stories can be corroborated with the doctors and surgeons.
When the body dies, the spirit moves along.

So how is it that people are having these Near Death experiences seeing heaven and hell? And why is it that people who see hell does NOT see the devil? How can it be that people who have these Near Death Experiences are told that reincarnation exist?
Before you say it's from Satan, make sure you read your bibles:
"But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control." (Gal. 5:22-23)
The Bible says that you can test any spirit to see if it's of God by seeing if it has love, joy, and peace, and this is what ALL that sees heaven explain! Satan can nott be love joy peace even IF he does look like an angel because those are fruits of spirit!
So, what is your explaination of this?

That is very true about the people being brain dead. Enough of these have taken place in hospitals with every sort of machine hooked up to them to monitor them. There are also doctors who have come forward to state the person was brain dead at the time. In fact... I remember awhile back watching some stuff on youtube where the doctor couldn't explain how it happened to his patient. How that patient had an NDE.
NDEs aren't dreams. In dreams you are at one stage of sleep -- REM where there is rapid eye movement. But there are other levels that go deeper and you don't dream. When someone is brain dead.. there is no level...yet, people have had NDEs with no brain activity --essentially brain dead. How that is possible I don't know. But it happens. Its one thing that points to the idea that consciousness may reside someplace other than the brain. Its really fascinating stuff

My explanation of this may be that you're thinking too much about stuff that doesn't matter. If you're basing all that you know on the foundations of a book written, and then revised by mankind, then you will ultimately limit your perspective to that paradigm.
The bible has been infiltrated.
However, the one thing that I will TOTALLY agree with is your assessment that if you're polarized to "LOVE, peace, and joy," nothing can enter that you "Don't allow."
Eternal LOVE and peace to you my friend...edit on 4-12-2011 by Destiny777 because: to edit

Do we go to Hades first and not hell??? If we are reborn in Christ do we go straight home?? How are there earthbound spirits if we dont rise and our flesh is our soul and spirit??..These are all very important questions that the OP has asked...We need to know and understand these things so we understand where we lie in life it self...So we know who these spirits are that are around everywhere...
Thank you to the OP for a great topic and a very important one...A star for you
Believers in Christ who have died up to now, will wait in a land of peace and happiness until Judgement Day.

No, people went to Abraham's Bosom before final reconciliation was made at Calvary, now dead righteous go to heaven when they die. To be absent from the body is to be present with the Lord.

That's because MEN wrote, and re-wrote, and re-wrote, and re wrote the books of the bible. Not God! If God Wrote the Word there would not be all these mis-matched ideas or facts, or myths that the bible says 3, no 4, no only Jesus, wait the 12....ETC... The bible is not that long, why so many conflicting ideas, its all there but its not... Lame, come on ATS'ers, take it on faith or leave it alone
There is a heaven and a hell, thats because there isn't a heaven or hell.. I really do not see why there's conflicting confusions, really simple, KISS Theory anyone??!!

1) Demons are another name for nephil spirits, ghosts, ancestral spirits and negative entities.
2) According to Enoch the scribe, YHWH told Enoch to tell the nephilim that they will never rise to heaven. Hence they are all earth bound - damned to traverse this world until Judgement Day.
3) There are at least 2 hells. 1 is Tartarus a.k.a Hades. This is a containment system (prison) for YHWH's fallen ones and the Rephaim. The other hell is the fire and brimstone one.
4) Those who have faith in Jesus Christ will automatically ascend to Heaven on Judgement Day. Believers in Christ who have died up to now, will wait in a land of peace and happiness until Judgement Day.
5) The soul is both body and spirit together.
I hope this answers some of the questions.
