according to who? i've never met a christian who believes that people who commit suicide go to hell no matter what...sounds like a bunch of judgmental crap to me.
As a christian I can say what I belive happened, but I would like to point this out... We all have heard about the death expereinces with the "bright white light".... Have we ever looked at the expereinces without that peaceful and wonderful outcome.... Here is one of 7 youth's have claim to have seen hell... I can not say if its true or not, but I do find it interesting.... Every part mentioned in their testimony goes perfectly with the Bible.... Yall have a look, would like opinions on it.... http://spiritlessons.com/Documents/7_Jovenes/English_7_Jovenes_Hell.htm
When did we decide that if we could explain it...it's no longer amazing/miraculous/fantastic? I know exactly how life is conceived....I've been present at the birth of both of my sons. I could explain to you what happened, from a clinical viewpoint....doesn't make it any less miraculous to me at all.
it could have been her last memory before she died or right before she was fully conscious again. the glucose level changes before we die. i think it's an increase which may cause many ppl to hallucinate (much like a LSD trip) right before they "die". this may explain the "good feeling" or hearing/seeing things.
i knew a guy who had an awful, awful near-death experience that haunted him forever and changed his life very literally. he would start to explain it and then he'd break down. it was very, very real to him.
I have two stories... One is my grandmother. The day before she died, she was half asleep and my mom and grandpa were sitting with her. She sort of lifted her head and looked outside the door to her hospital room and said "Is that mother?" Her mother had been dead since 1953. The other is my sister. She was understandably nervous before she had heart surgery. She was 17. The week before her surgery she kept saying "this could be the last time..." My brother was married the Saturday before she died and that Sunday, before he left on his honeymoon, as she left his house from opening their presents she started crying in the backseat of the car. My mom asked her why she was crying and she said that it was the last time she would see Michael, my brother. And it was. My brother and his wife flew to Italy the next morning. The morning of her surgery she kept crying and saying she didn't want to die. I fully believe she knew that she wasn't going to survive the surgery. My brother didn't make it back to the states until she was already gone. Today would have been her 19th birthday.
Whatever your beliefs are... I say death is still a scary thing and no one really looks forward to it no matter what the stories are.
Completely depends on the circumstances. I watched my grandmother struggle for every breath dying of lung cancer. She was very ready to go.
I rather be safe then sorry, why take a chance on not believing in God.... Why take a chance on rejecting eternal life, salvation.... Wht is it that you have to loose by seeking God... People now and days love to make up in theire head wether God is real or not, this to me is just plain stupid.... You never sought after God, you die... If there is a hell then thats where you go... If there is no hell then wht did you loose? But if there is a God and there is a heaven, wht do you have to gain? You gain everything.... I have seen supernatural moments in the name of Jesus, I have seen a 9 yr old limp girl walk into a service and leave walking straight after prayer and worship....
I'm a believer...but I find the kind of faith you're talking about to be something short of what Jesus seems to be talking about. It's limiting God to a fire insurance policy. Or a cosmic slot machine. and we're off to D&D!!!
We all connected to the great human internet. when you die . . . you get uploaded to the great server in the sky for the last time You get to talk to those that were uploaded before you. Rocket River Rocket River
Oh no no, dont get me wrong please... I am putting it in that way because I dont want to get preachy..... My honest opinion, you seek God for God... You seek the blesser not the blessing.... My faith is in one day being with my Lord...
Its not about fooling God, I am sorry on how I put things.. Its about seeking and finding God, having a close relationship with him... I know ho my life used to be and how finding a true relationship flipped my life 360 all around...
