ACTS 17 : 11 

FOR THEY RECEIVED THE MESSAGE WITH GREAT 

EAGERNESS AND EXAMINED THE SCRIPTURES 

EVERY DAY TO SEE IF WHAT PAUL SAID WAS TRUE

2 CORINTHIANS 12 : 1-4
NDE OR A VISION ?

I MUST GO ON BOASTING.  ALTHOUGH THERE IS NOTHING TO BE GAINED,

I WILL GO ON TO VISIONS AND REVELATIONS FROM THE LORD.

I KNOW A MAN IN CHRIST WHO FOURTEEN YEARS AGO WAS CAUGHT UP TO THE THIRD HEAVEN.  WHETHER IT WAS IN THE BODY OR OUT OF THE BODY, I DO NOT KNOW – ONLY GOD KNOWS.

AND I KNOW THAT THIS MAN – WHETHER IN THE BODY OF APART FROM THE BODY I DO NOT KNOW, BUT GOD KNOWS-

WAS CAUGHT UP TO PARADISE.  HE HEARD INEXPRESSIBLE THINGS, THINGS THAT MAN IS NOT PERMITTED TO TELL.

THE RICH MAN AND LAZARUS IN HADES

      LUKE 16:26

      NOR CAN ANYONE CROSS OVER FROM THERE TO US

       LUKE 16:31

     IF THEY DO NOT LISTEN TO MOSES AND THE PROPHETS,THEY WILL NOT BE CONVINCED EVEN IF SOMEONE RISES FROM THE DEAD

WHAT HAPPENS AFTER DEATH ?

       GENESIS  2 : 7

      THE LORD GOD FORMED THE MAN FROM THE DUST OF THE GROUND AND BREATHED INTO HIS NOSTRILS THE BREATH OF LIFE, AND THE MAN BECAME A LIVING BEING

        ECCLESIASTES 12 : 7

   AND THE DUST RETURNS TO THE GROUND IT CAME  FROM,AND THE SPIRIT RETURNS TO GOD WHO GAVE IT.

        HEBREWS 9 : 27

     JUST AS PEOPLE ARE DESTINED TO DIE ONCE, AND AFTER THAT TO FACE JUDGEMENT.

      FOR THE BELIEVERS

          2 CORINTHIANS 5 : 6 – 8

         THEREFORE WE ARE ALWAYS CONFIDENT AND KNOW THAT AS LONG AS WE ARE AT HOME IN THE BODY WE ARE AWAY FROM THE LORD.

WE LIVE BY FAITH, NOT BY SIGHT.

WE ARE CONFIDENT, I SAY, AND WOULD PREFER TO BE AWAY FROM THE BODY AND AT HOME WITH THE LORD.

FOR THE UNBELIEVERS

REVELATION 20 :  13 – 15

THE SEA GAVE UP THE DEAD THAT WERE IN IT, AND DEATH AND HADES GAVE UP THE DEAD THAT WERE IN THEM, AND EACH PERSON WAS JUDGED ACCORDING TO WHAT HE HAD DONE.

THEN DEATH AND HADES WERE THROWN INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE.  THE LAKE OF FIRE IS THE SECOND DEATH.

IF ANYONE’S NAME WAS NOT FOUND WRITTEN IN THE BOOK OF LIFE, HE WAS THROWN INTO THE LAKE OF FIRE

BIBLE IS SUFFICIENT TO DESCRIBE LIFE AFTER DEATH

JESUS CONQUERED DEATH   

LUKE 23:43 

“TODAY YOU WILL BE WITH ME IN PARADISE”

JOHN RECORDED REVELATION

 REV 22:18-19  

“DO NOT ADD OR SUBTRACT”

Is near death experience biblical ? 

The closest story to nde in the bible was when Paul was shown the third heaven or the throne of God. However he was not sure if it was nde or a vision. 

I believe nde is not biblical. Jesus himself told the story of the rich man and lazarus who both died and were prevented to return to life. 

John was shown heaven in Revelation. Jesus spoke in detail about heaven and earth. 

God's word is sufficient to describe heaven and hell. The story of Angelica Zambrano quoted several bible verses. However there were parts of her story that contradicted bible doctrines or teachings. 

An example is new jerusalem city of gold. She said angels were working on several mansions. Some angels were working fast, some slow and some completely stopped. Their actions depended on how the recipients are living their lives in this world. 

God already knows who will be saved and the New Jerusalem and our dwelling places in this city are already completed and reserved for true believers.
