Evidence for God from Science

If Sin is in the heart - and that is eternal - then how does Jesus change anything then. We will still have the sin in our hearts - that does not go - unless of course something changes to our entire being when we go to heaven we will just keep on sinning. It is human nature.

I understand what those verses are saying - but why do we still sin? Is it because we are weak - or is it because deep down a part of us still does not really believe we are saved or actually believe in God at all? Is it doubt that causes us to still sin because like scripture says we would have the power to say "No".

Once again - thanks for any valuable insight you have for these questions. God Bless

Jesus said in Mark, 'The Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.' The flesh is DEAD. That is why resurrection is essential. Without the resurrection, as Paul said, our faith is in vain. We will be made like Him. Spiritually we are made to sit in the heavenly places. Meanwhile, we drag around a corpse until it expires.

I love your book!
I've read and re-read your book many times and given away many copies to my friends and loved ones. It contains so much wisdom and is very informative. By the way, I read another NDE-type experience where the lady who related her story mentioned the spiral of cubes. Like you said, hell is a vast place and the spiral was near the center, the heart if you will, of hell, surrounded by other areas of torment.

Just today I sent a message to David A R White, a producer, actor, director of Christian movies(REVELATION ROAD being the most recent) and suggested he make a movie of your experiences. I believe your story will be a classic on the level of Pilgrim's Progress or a Tolkien book, but not an allegory of course, since it's your actual experience.

God bless you! Friend me on Facebook--Dave Carter of Arizona https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id ... ef=tn_tnmn

Its an amazing account filled with many wisdoms.
I believe it is useful to further fine tune Christian truths for Christians as well as give a blunt, abrasive admonition.
My cousin needs to read it, and others.
Thak you for taking the time to write this account for others!!! ^_^

The implications of your account show that in Sheol, demons have rule over fallen humankind. The natural end to those who follow satan; is it to be ruled by him and his legions in such a fashion? Would that imply God's justice is being perpetrated by demons? This is confusing to me.

Does this mean to choose to not be with God, is choosing to be with satan and his minions? Why would they be in position of power over fallen humans when they, themselves, are not only fallen, but worse off that any fallen human from falling from perfection? Shouldn't their existence in Sheol be of repercussions from rejecting God instead of power?

The circumstances surrounding it, another pastor's happening by and sensing God urgently wanted him to go and pray for Don (who was dead for 90 minutes), his long reluctance of two years before he finally confided his story, his incredible and unlikely survival, recovery, years of terrible pain, 36 operations, and what Don relates, none of it appears to have any theological contradictions or typical New Age-like components as do many other NDEs. And the results of sharing his experience seem to have had powerful spiritual impacts and reactions upon those hearing his testimony.

Thanks,
Philip

Clearly, his further comments about his NDE reveal that it appears that he has been demonically deceived. Else why the following comments concerning his visit?

Alexander stated of his experience: "I’ve come to know absolutely the existence of an all-loving and powerful God” that our souls are eternal."; " ... I have also come to realize strongly that there is no one right religion. All aspects of religion have everything to do with the rich, deep, eternal reality." he explained. Anything about religion that says they are the only one is just doomed dysfunctional human thinking. It’s all about showing compassion and forgiveness in our lives and giving our faith and belief to the source of all creation."; "We can connect with our loved ones after they have passed over; believing that and then seeing evidence with that is such a gift. It’s a very powerful gift."

And as it would appear that this surgeon had a demonically deceptive near death experience, it does make sense as to why. Because if demons are all about deceiving mankind, what better strategy could they have (at least to impact many) than by picking this man to deceive - a former agnostic scientist who happens to specialize in brain functionality. Because if they can't get everyone by just getting them to disbelieve in God, then make them believe a lie about Him - by the testimony of one who now believes all that he saw was the real heaven. Think how many New-Agers, etc will latch onto this, as well as those who adamantly oppose the view that any one religion is from the Lord, or that all religions aren't pathways to heaven, that Christianity is prejudiced and exclusive by its belief in Christ.

And so what are the lies that this surgeon has not bought into?:

- That all religions lead to the same place/heaven - and so WHATEVER path one chooses to get their is just fine - that there is nothing special or unique about Christian/Biblical teachings or Jesus in one's ability to gain heaven. Christianity is just one truth of many.

- That a person who is an unbeliever could have entered into heaven, the very abode of God. He admits he was previously not a believer in Jesus ("considered himself a nominal Christian and he said he lacked the faith to believe in eternal life")

- He believes that those already dead/in heaven can be communicated with by those whom are still alive.

- He saw a heaven that was aesthetically beautiful, yet without describing experiencing what the Bible tells us heaven is ALL about - the constant presence and worship of the Lord - which, Scripturally, is heaven's entire focus.

But, to me, this should be an eye-opener, that the demonic can even deceive when one is in an unconscious and apparently dead state.

Philip wrote:Paul, this surgeon's experience may prove that there is some realm beyond this one, but wherever he was or whatever he experienced it had to be a demonic deception. Below explains why.

I'll re-post outtakes and quotes I made on this guy's experience (back in December 2012):
