Lee Strobel: The Case For Heaven

[@new_comment]

I often try to imagine what it will be like, not only being in the presence of our Lord God and Savior for eternity, which is just unimaginable! But, Him giving us to explore and marvel at His creations, the way He created them, and meant them to be enjoyed, before we ruined everything. The Lord teaching and showing us glorious amazing things that we could never know, see or dream of, in this life. Praise God, He is always good.

This is called a Shared Death Experience! What a wonderful gift. You can share your experience with the Shared Crossing Project out of Santa Barbara, California, if you are comfortable!

Scripture is pretty clear on our soul, spirit, eternity, Heaven, Hell and the things after death. Our authority is Scripture and not extra Biblical NDEs.

Jesus Was Born Incarnate Jesus was born incarnate to a young Jewish virgin, lived a sin free life, was illegally persecuted and then crucified on a cross on Calvary. He arose three days later defeating death and ascended into Heaven where He sits at the right hand of God. “Jesus knew He was entering the world to be the final and ultimate sacrifice for sin. His body had been divinely prepared by God specifically for that purpose. Jesus was going to die for the sins of the world, and He knew it. Moreover, He was doing it willingly and joyfully . That was the whole point of His incarnate birth. Jesus came to earth, of course, to reveal God to mankind. He came to teach truth. He came to fulfill the Law. He came to offer His kingdom. He came to show us how to live. He came to reveal God’s love. He came to bring peace. He came to heal the sick. He came to minister to the needy. He was raised in a family who didn't believe in His divinity. He had six half-brothers and two or three half-sisters who didn't believe in His divinity until after His resurrection. What gets me is demons knew His divinity but men and women of His time didn't. Strange. I presume Mary and Joseph knew His divinity. But in Luke 2:49-50 [NKJV] “He said to them, [His earthly parents] “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?” Did they not understand Jesus' divinity? This makes me wonder. "But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (Matthew 6:33 NKJV) Luke 3:23 states that Jesus was "about 30 years of age" at the start of his ministry. Jesus preformed 14-15 miracles (they were called signs) in the three years or so of His ministry on earth. Many miracles were preformed by Jesus Christ but not specifically identified and recorded in God's word. Jesus' miracles were followed by Jesus forgiving the individuals of their sins and commanded they sin no more. Many of Jesus' miracles were not identified. No other religious leader forgave mankind of their sins. Our sins separate us from God, and there’s nothing we can do to make things right. So, we need someone to save us from our sins and make us acceptable to God. That someone is Jesus Christ. 'Neither is there salvation in any other: for among men there is given no other Name under heaven, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12 GNV) That’s why God sent Jesus to earth. Jesus’ death on the cross paid for every wrong we’ve ever committed or will do. Jesus made it possible for us to have a relationship with God the Father. I am a sinner from birth and need help, Jesus Christ is that help, my only hope. Therefore by the deeds of the law (Ten Commandments) no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law our sins are recognized not saved. I try to confess my sins and iniquities before Jesus Christ, at the foot of the cross daily. Jesus said in Matthew 28:19, to His disciples that: “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.” I will not have to stand before The Great White Throne of God, my sins have been cleansed by Jesus Christ's crucifixion on the cross. And I am clothed in the righteousness of Christ of all my sins and iniquities before-today, today and forever. I Love Jesus Christ despite the fact that I'm human and I fail Him daily; I pick up my cross daily and follow Him. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that He was crucified on the cross where He died for my sins and inequities and that He rose again on the 3rd day to give me a way through salvation and sanctification. He loves me dearly and forgives my sins and inequities. His Word says that if I deny Him before men, He will deny me before His Father. Following is one of the greatest verses in God's Word. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John 3:16 NKJV) I am a Christ-follower and live in the Kingdom of God on earth in Jesus Christ, my Lord, Savior and Leader. I have faith and trust in the grace and mercy of God for eternal life for my soul in Heaven when I pass from this life into paradise. I proclaim this openly to the world, that I am sinner, that I am sorry for my sins and iniquities and repent of my sins and iniquities and receive Jesus Christ by faith into my heart, mind and soul as my Lord, Savior nd Leader. I openly confess Him as Lord from this moment on, I want to follow Him, I pledge to obey Him daily, and read His word. I will include those in my prayers who are lost and have chosen to deny God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ declared: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John 14:6 NKJV) I am in the “Lamb's Book of Life” and will not face “The Great White Throne of God” which leads to Hell. God bless

@@992turbos and if you still don't understand that OK because 1 Corinthians 2:14 also says "But people who aren’t spiritual can’t receive these truths from God’s Spirit.

Apropos Lee´s claim at 28:50 re a lady whom he identifies only as "Maria" being most specific about the location of a tennis shoe please to bear this in mind. Dr Susan Blackmore started as a believer in the paranormal, but then claimed she got negative results. When detailing her failures in a BBC science programme broadcast on the Ides of March 1988 she sneered into the camera, "But PSI will NEVER be proved." Not, note, "PSI does not exist." The following year she related on TV (whilst seated next to James Randi) how she had been part of a coven of witches but had abandoned magic because "It didn´t work!" Then she added "Oh, except once! Once it worked. We cast a spell asking for a light to go out, and it did! And I spent ages crawling around trying to find a fault in the electrical system." Another odd lighting incident was in December 1992 when she lectured in Kensington to The Society for Psychical Research on The Near Death Experience: Visions of The Dying Brain. Her theory was that people who think they are going down a tunnel towards another reality are in fact experiencing an effect produced by oxygen starvation of the brain. At the start the lights in the hall flickered and went out... and then came back on. She cast uneasy glances upwards and made a nervous joke about odd things happening when one addresses an SPR gathering. No true sceptic, e.g. James Randi, Paul Kurtz, Stephen Fry or Wendy Grossman would EVER have behaved so. But she WAS asked by an audience member about the notorious"shoe on the ledge" incident. She acknowledged it as "perhaps the most celebrated NDE ever" and said that all of her attempots to verify its veracity were thwarted. No medical official at the hospital could back it up. And Lee himself cannot even tell us her surname. Quality of evidence is VERY important, Lee. what you ask us to believe is not good enough without her full name, that of the hospital and names of Doctors who may be consulted. Randi kept an object on a room in his house and challenged any Out Of The Body experiencer to go into that room and identify the object. If they did he would pay them $1,000,000. He never had to pay out. Dr Blackmore keeps numbers on the wall of her kitchen and challenges anybody to identify those. Nobody done yet. btw, during her 1992 lecture, Blackmore referred to a report not too different from what Lee reports about "Katie" at 32:45 and how she wrote to a guy who had made the report. In his reply the guy admitted it wasn´t true!

Where is biblical evidence of this... . I'm not denying, but where's is the support for what you are saying

[@992turbos]

I don’t know why you would even ask this. The bible is the claim/claims, so we need to look for evidence for what the bible claims. Why would you ask “what is the biblical claim that matches with your own claim?”

@@bankhead1 So wait, you're telling me that when someone can clearly draw an operating room while being dead is not evidence? All Atheists believe that we die and that's it, so if that were the case then why did this woman die, could see the operating room and then go into Heaven?
