Chapter
32 of the Westminster Confession of
Faith
'Of
the State of Men after Death, and of the Resurrection of the Dead‘
The
bodies of men, after death, return to dust, and see corruption: but
their souls, which neither die nor sleep, having an immortal subsistence,
immediately return to God who gave them …

Paul's Revelation
12: 1 I must go on boasting. Although there is nothing to gain, I will go on to visions and revelations from the Lord. 2 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 it I do not know, but God knows. 3 And I know that this man—whether in the body or out of it I do not know, but God knows—… 2 Corinthians 12:2

We also affirm that man consists of two different substances in one person: an immortal soul which, when separated from the body, neither sleeps nor dies, and a mortal body which will nevertheless be raised up from the dead at the last judgment in order that then the whole man, either in life or in death, abide forever.

Richard Cole – meets God in afterlife
Non Religious: He always believed in God and Jesus but was not a committed Christian as he had so many questions and doubts. He had a heart aneurism and went in for an operation. He was chilled to freezing point. He saw everything happening to him in the operating room and then he died. Richard heard God say “Do not turn around as you may not see my face” Faced the other way he asked questions of God about Adam and Eve. This is a very interesting account and seems more genuine than most.
He asked God “What is the meaning of life” Answer: “It is all about love” Richard Cole is a frequent vintage race car exhibitor and enthusiast who has participated as a judge at Concorso Italiano, The Los Angeles Concourse at the Rose Bowl, and Ferrari Club of America events. That’s his Daytona vintage race car in the picture with the “Enzo” plate.As so many others do, Richard Cole has not written a book about his encounter with death.

Afterlife. Hebrew Bible (Old
Testament)
Not
much discussion of Afterlife
Sheol / Gehena / Fires below. Ezekiel stood on
(dry bones). Ezekiel 37.
Satan
Fall from Heaven / Eternity in the Pit.
7 Noahide vs 613 laws.
Spirit
hangs out with “I AM” until the physical resurrection. Hell is regret. Some similar to new age advancement.
New
Testament :: Fires of Hell for failure to accept the Messiah (Jesus) (Yeshua – Salvation in Hebrew)
Heaven. Many Mansions. Today you will be in Paradise. Luke 23:33.
Revelation
/ The New Jerusalem (Here or there).
Rapture (questionable theology / 1864 / Darby)
Hinduism
: Reincarnation / return till Karma
extinguished

Animism
: Korea (ancient) / Central Africa (possession)
New
Age : There is no Hell. Everyone goes to a level at which they
vibrate. If you return, it is to advance
along vibrational advancement.
(most
accurate channeled material).
Islam
: Extremely punitive. All Jews and all kafir (non believers) are destined for hell /
no exceptions. Followers are weighted
good / bad. Allah is sole judge with
scales that are known only to Allah.
Heaven is 7th Century Oasis (like) / Hell is
everlasting fire.
The
Hell NDEs is what pushed me back to a search for the Messiah / Yeshua.
The
fact that Hell exists in NDEs says to me that there is the distinct possibility
of punishment and that the New Agrees who say there is no hell (or the
atheists) run the distinct risk of being wrong.
If
wrong, you are fatally wrong.
The
Messiah who is backed by 300+ prophecies says hell is very real. Not going there.
But, he offers complete redemption.

NDEs. Bryan Melvin (Hair curling NDE)
(talked on the phone. Have his DVDs).

Fellow
in Downtown ATL. 1992.
Dr.
Maurice Rawlings : Postman : Ronald
Reagan (Tennessee) :
Numerous
suicidal returns. Angie Fenimore.
Netherlands. German suicide
(female). Numerous drug overdoses.
Visitations. Pastor Kim (Korea). Woman (40 visitations to show the
world). Bryan Weiss (23 minutes in
Hell). Extremely horrible. One cannot die. Body shredded reforms. Ripped apart by demons. Skin pealed off. Numerous reports of being infested by
maggots. [ I am just a journalist. Don’t punish me. ] Seems that the fall of angels is real and
that the entities are fallen angels (demons).
They have no purpose except to prevent us from following Yeshua and bringing us to hell with
them. They derive joy (if there is such)
from torturing those who have fallen to hell.
NDE
studies. Statistically very low. 12% 15% (highest 20%).
&&&
Actual
physicality. Real ground. Real mountains. Real water.
But, when you exit the water, the wetness rolls off and you are no
longer wet. Genuinely elevated
mood. If you are inclined, access of
higher knowledge. Awareness of the creator
of the Universe and higher beings in hierarchy below the creator (and access to
them).
Very
common reporting. 7 or more levels. 1st and 2nd being the Astral (similar to
ours). Then the mental then celestial,
then we get lost going up. (Mormons
have perfected this theology. I am not a
Mormon. I am a reporter).
Exploration: First I encountered was Raymond Moody (more
in future discussion).
Then Dr. Richard Eby. (1912 - 2003). Gynecologist. In 1972 fell three (3) stories onto his head in Chicago, Il. Had a deep christian NED.

Then George Richie. December 1, 1942. The NDE that started it all.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ruKjIrejDCk&t=15s
All those were NDEs and not channeled or medium material.
