Quoting: CMcC I here a lot of stories like this I'm kind of skeptical, here's why. I'm always believed that the door to heaven is threw the 'narrow' gate. In other words...it's not easy. I don't know for sure but could these experiences be a part of the anti heaven forces by giving you a false sense of security? I beg your indulgence for raining on this parade. Or maybe what really happens in real life after death is a lot different from what you think happens based on your religion. Best to keep an open mind to that possibility. |

It was a "medical mistake" that was made during a very minor procedure and the doctor screwed up. Quoting: Hope_Full Perhaps the doctor thought he'd fixed the mistake, but something busted lose and I ended up back in an ER where they made a few more mistakes which resulted in my dying from exsanugination (blood loss).

If you'd told me that I was in heaven for several HOURS, I would have believed you. I went to heaven and had a phenomenal experience however... Heaven sent me back, and when I came back, I was healthier than ever. Several medically documented health problems were gone, to the astonishment of the doctors. A spiritual being told me that I needed to come back, but didn't offer an explanation as to why. I loved what I saw "over there" and felt the most perfect peace you could ever imagine. I wasn't "nearly dead." I was completely dead, and my heart had stopped for 10+ minutes. My kids are grown, I'm retired, and I'm not sure why or how I got saved when other people don't. It's pretty confusing. I'm not sure what it is that I'm supposed to do with the rest of my life. Were you wrapped in a blanket of love? |

Hope_Full (OP) User ID: 76989792 United States 06/05/2019 01:46 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I got a little thrill running up my spine while reading this. Maybe you should write. You write well. Quoting: Anonymous Coward 76782929 I also appreciate your no-nonsense approach. You are even-minded, yet still make it very interesting to read. Thank you so much for the very kind words! The only thing that I feel truly led to do (right now) is share the story with others. There's a lot more to the story and all of it is good. But there are no words to describe the peace. It was as though I was enveloped in an actively-comforting, warm, loving peace. The peace wasn't static; it was active. It was so beautiful. So perfect. So profound. When I was in that white room, I saw a door in front of me and started moving toward it, but was told that I had to go back. I was very disappointed. I ended up back in my body in the blink of an eye and it was surprising to find myself back there. I had on an oxygen mask, lots of needles (and IVs) stuck in me, and lots of activity all around. The medical staff kept asking me questions to ascertain if there'd been any cognitive decline. My buddy told me later that they'd called in more than seven people to work on me. I was surrounded! A few minutes after I was resuscitated, they let my friend back into the room (while they waited for transport), and he said, "Hope, you were scary looking. You were white as a sheet and your lips were dark blue. I never knew skin could be that white." He was a medic in the Vietnam era, and he said, "Seriously, I've seen corpses that looked better than you looked." After I was back, the hospital did a million tests and they were surprised to find that I had suffered no damage to my heart or kidneys. The doctors told me that exsanguination followed by heart attack (as I had) typically wreaks havoc with internal organs but that I was unusually healthy. I told the doctors, "I know. The angels told me that I was going to be fine, despite medical predictions." And it's true. The angels told me that when I came back, I'd be unusually healthy. So it seems like a big deal and an amazing story that I should be sharing with others. So - thank you again for your kind words. It means the world to me.

So, THINK. If YOU are using YOUR brain to think, then YOU and YOUR body are 2 separate things. YOU are not YOUR body. God didn't give fuck all My Mother and Father gave me anyway fuck what you think you sound like one of those LGBT fucks The DNA of the cell tissue will always be either XX or XY regardless of what you cut off, drugs you take, think, hope, wish, want, sew on, new holes you cut in yourself.

The mind and body are two different things. The mind may think it is the opposite sex, but the body is the reality. One cannot change reality at its core. ----------- libs can't stand that gender dysphoria is a mental illness and not something to be celebrated. But you're not "changing" yourself. Your chromosomes are immutable and unalterable. The only change is in your mirror and your poor, deluded head. Males are XY and Females are XX and no surgery or hormones can change that BIOLOGICAL Fact. Democrats are Anti-Science. You don't know what you are talking about! There are many chromosomal patterns including XX AND XY, XXXY, etc. Klinefelter's Syndrome. Stick to something which you know about! SPORTS! Klinefelter’s is commonly brought up by people trying to make an argument for transsexualism...the individual who assaulted Ben Shapiro on Dr. Drew’s show comes to mind. Males with Klinefelter’s syndrome are feminized, but they are still males. Similarly, one gender will prevail when extra sex chromosomes are present. A male or female gender can be ascertained for “intersex” individuals, with testing. True hermaphroditism is extremely rare. |
another question User ID: 77705404 Estonia 06/05/2019 02:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Hey OP - I have two honest questions for you , would like two honest answers Quoting: two honest questions for OP. 77705404 1) after your events, did you ever look at the sun , and see it as a hollow tube opening in the sky , like an ethernet cable ? 2) did you ever see transparent, thumb size , paramecium like creature come out of it / interact / go back ? thanks if you can answer 1) After this, I was hospitalized for several days. In that time, I felt like I was more in that world than this one. I felt spiritual beings swarming me. It was bliss. And peace. More peace. At this point, I didn't know if I was going to survive or not, and I didn't care. It felt like either one was a win. So - I did not have an ocassion to gaze at the sun. 2) I didn't see the sun so I can't answer this. a few comments and then another question people have five basic senses , we all know them, but of course we have a sixth sense - that of sensing HEAT/COLD HEAT COLD completely separate from the other five senses OP , would you be able to characterize the SPIRITUAL CREATURES SWARMING ME , similar to a seventh sense - like one was just added and you just KNOW and FEEL it ? |

I can help you there, narrow gate, it is about those with or without souls. Mankind do not have soul in them so they cannot enter narrow gate: And he was traveling through the cities and towns, teaching and making his way to Jerusalem. And someone said to him, “Lord, are they few who are saved?” But he said to them: “Strive to enter through the narrow gate. For many, I tell you, will seek to enter and not be able. Then, when the father of the family will have entered and shut the door, you will begin to stand outside and to knock at the door, saying, ‘Lord, open to us.’ And in response, he will say to you, ‘I do not know where you are from.’ Then you will begin to say, ‘We ate and drank in your presence, and you taught in our streets.’ And he will say to you: ‘I do not know where you are from. Depart from me, all you workers of iniquity!’ In that place, there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth, when you see Abraham, and Isaac, and Jacob, and all the prophets, in the kingdom of God, yet you yourselves are expelled outside. - Jesus in Luke 13:22-28 Again where Ishmael?, firstborn of Abraham [Son of Man] and Hagar [Daughter of Ape] from Africa?. Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate, and broad is the way, which leads to perdition, and many there are who enter through it. How narrow is the gate, and how straight is the way, which leads to life, and few there are who find it!. - Jesus in Matthew 7:6-14 G H.W "Nebuchadnezzar" Bush is Fox and the lawless tyrannical one and a perdition. G W "Belshazzar" Bush is the son of perdition. Thread: So You Wanted To Know Who The Son Of Perdition Is? (Page 2) "Outside are dogs and drug users, and whoremongers, and murderers, and idolaters, and everyone who loves to lie and practices falsehood. I Jesus sent mine angel to testify to these parts.

Whatever you do, do not tell us what it was like over on the other side, because thats what folks came to this thread to hear about. Just keep them in suspense and tell them nothing ..... lol I was waiting to see if it was safe to post here...LOL. It was the most perfect peace you can imagine times a million. I was unconscious at the moment of my passing but I awakened - with a start - when I died. The first thing I heard myself say was, "My heart has stopped. The medical staff failed to save me." It was kind of a surprise to hear myself talk because I knew that I had died. I floated for some time and then was taken into a brilliantly lit white room, and it was in the white room that I was told that I had to go back. I wasn't happy about this. I felt such peace and I never wanted that peace to end. But I was told that I must return. My husband killed himself three years ago, and I was really lost. I had been miserable and I was GLAD that this hard life was over. I was told that when I came back, my life would get much better - and it has - but there are still some hard days. More than anything, I'm not sure what I'm doing here. I guess that now you know you were purposefully sent back, that is an extra incentive to find out! |

Anonymous Coward User ID: 77663559 Japan 06/05/2019 02:17 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Dear friend, I urge you to consider your eternal destiny. Have you, as I have, sinned in your life? If so, you need God's grace to truly enter heaven. After all, even just one small sin in our lives is enough to make us less perfect than God. We have broken God's law, as we have sinned against him. So, we don't deserve to be with him in Heaven. We deserve the punishment of eternal Hell. God's word - the Bible - says "for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God."(Romans 3:23) We have a debt to God, but nothing we can do can pay it. We need grace. Thankfully, Jesus was killed to pay the penalty for people's sins. Jesus is God's son --- and, in that, he is God the Son in human form. God is one God existing in three persons - God the Father, God the Son (Jesus), and God the Holy Spirit. Jesus died and rose from the dead around 2,000 years ago. He's alive today. My friend, I urge you to use this second chance at life to learn about God. If you believe on Jesus to wash you of your sins and save you from God's penalty, he will do so. He saves purely by grace though faith, as our works cannot save us. My friend, if you recognize you are a sinner like me, trust Jesus to turn you from your sinful ways and save you from sin's eternal penalty. He gives people eternal life. He covers his people's sins so that God the Father no longer sees our sinfulness, but instead sees Jesus' perfect rightousness. The Bible says,"For the wages of sin is death, but the free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord."(Romans 6:23) Heaven is a place for God, his angels and his people. Believe on Jesus to save you and you really will see heaven someday. And don't listen, friend, to those who tell you there's any other way to heaven --- even spiritual beings aren't always from God. Trust Jesus. I also urge you to get to a good, Bible-teaching church in your area. Further, I hope you read the Bible yourself. I hope I see you in heaven someday. |

There's more to this life than we can begin to understand. When decisions are made at a spiritual level, as they were with me, the material or mortal picture has to give way to the spiritual facts. Of that, I am sure. It's one of the most difficult things for me, being a Christian at this time. I am not holier than thou, I am a poor excuse for a Christian, but I do believe.

Anonymous Coward User ID: 76536482 United States 06/05/2019 02:33 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | What interests me in this story, and in all similar stories, is that a person is sent back (in this case OP), for some reason important enough to God to allow this to happen. So, if it is that important, why did God not intervene in the first place to prevent the death from happening? Assuming these stories are true, which I do, this means that God has a 'hands-off" approach to His creation, God does not micro-manage, in order to allow FREE WILL to run its course. Seems like God set up the world to operate without micro-managing. Means we're really let loose on our own down here. My theory is that prayer and ethical living are the LIFELINES that bind us to the great ship of Heaven, and barring that, we really are left to toss about on our own on the sea of life.. |
