Dubble post.

Well, technically, I've died once too, after a motorcycle crash. It was only for about a minute until they revived me in an ambulance, but I didn't get any of that 'tunnel and lights' malarkey.

Nevertheless, it does prove there can be life after death :rotfl:

:D Chock

heh, not me.
Agnostics are atheists with out the strength of their convictions. ;)

your body wasnt compleetly dead. after that there is no return :yep:

I don't. ;) You probably have checked and know there is an interesting ammount of literature on NDEs. Contrary to some hardcore scientists, I don't agree that it can be explained by certain neurochemcial chnages in the brain'S last minutes or seconds of activity. NDEs are not the only phenomenon pointing in the direction they are coming from. Eventually, meditation can point you there, too, as long as not trying to "make" them. where your experience is given to somebody, it is not a causal result of your effort, but a gift. Gifts cannot be triggered or caused - they either are there, or not.

NDE was a field of special interest for me when studying. You are not alone with what you experienced. As a result from that interest, I got those "youre crazy" stares from people and my professors, too! :lol:

No, me. I am convinced atheist from head to toe. I kill all gods people ever imagined, and do so by conviction. In a way I do like Moses did with the golden cow. :D

Wreck this thread with religious debate? Hell, the author of this thread was the one starting the religious debate! Does that mean all others have an obligation to admire him for his religious conviction? Hardly. When you express opinion, especially religious ones, in public, you must take into account that you will reap not only sympathies, but also come under fire.

Keep thy religion to thyself. Not only to avoid the impression of wanting to missionise, and subjugate others to your conviction, but - in case of Christians - because even Jesus himself told you to do so. See some of the postings earlier.

Speaking of life and death this boy in scotland claims he has lived a past life...

Not often children make these sort of claims. :nope:

Tis generally always an adult :hmm:

pretty interesting :hmm:
but still i dont believe in life after death

Fixed.

I just got back from visiting my son and grand children when I spotted this thread had new life in it ...

The thread was started from the joy I had of hearing from the Lord about a hurricane ... not just any ole hurricane, but one that has never come upon land so fast in recorded history.

To me this spells the word broach ... it came out of no where just like a submarine can broach suddenly or a sailboat can turn on you if your not careful.

But the real meat of the prophecy was that God said, "If a missile were to be launched against Tel aviv it would land in Jordan. The Lord thy God did speak to me and I did share the Words He spoke.

Why? I don't know why, but I'm happy He did speak. He comforted me with more faith that He is in control.

Somehow we have graduated to the subject of life after death ... it's okay with me to talk about life after death in this thread, if you desire. I am of course a believer in the resurection of Jesus Christ along with a hand full of others on this board.

I died in a drug transaction back in 1983, actually it wasn't a drug transaction per se ... I owed someone several hundred dollars for my girlfriends drugs and had failed to pay the bill. He stole my van and in the process of trying to get my van back his brother blindsided me with an iron pipe.

No, I didn't see light at the end of a tunnel, nor was I a Chrisitan yet. I never saw the hit coming and the next thing I know I wake up on a operting table with the doctor saying, "you've lost a lot of blood son".

I said, "that's nice" and went back to sleepy land. They said I died, but I have no memory of the ordeal. I didn't feel like smoking ciggarettes anymore that's for sure.

I was a car salesman at the time with a nice bandage on my right ear ... two years later I gave my life to the Lord and I am eternally happy that I didn't die that day.

I owe the Lord everything ... so if you want to talk about life after death go ahead, but be nice.

I don't believe in reincarnation ... I believe in God's mercy and that forever starts when you believe, not when you die.
