You got jokes!
Jacobs Ladder.
Basically, the stairway thing as you call it started whenJacob after he left his tribe in search of a wife fell asleep on a rock woke up and saw a stairway leading upto heaven it was filled with angels going to and from.

The near death experience can be made easily just by lacking blood in your brain, Fight pilots experience the near death experience because of the fast turns and the blood keeps moving and moving meaning the person loses consciousness for a few seconds then comes back.
If i shoot you in the head and you die for 30 minutes and come back alive ill be convinced you know whats on the other side
Oh and i doubt theres a stairway since theres no such thing as heaven if there was it wont be beyond the clouds and werent stairs invented in like something 10ad by the romans?

The use of the term "stairway" is just a metaphor. What is meant here are the things you have to do in this life to get to heaven. Things like loving your neighbors, and in general, being Christ to others.

The OT talks about Jacob having a vision or dream or it could have been some other OT person,anyway,this person had a dream of a beautiful staircase asending up to heaven with angels walking up and down them.
I think that would be a cool dream*
and thats just silly about the tired thing.
Peace

This is a reference to "Jacob's ladder" of Genesis 28:
"12 Then he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and its top reached to heaven; and there the angels of God were ascending and descending on it."
No, I don't think the spirit of a recently deceased person will be too tired to ascend; he or she will be accompanied by angels, I'm sure. At death, all pain and fatigue are shed, along with the physical body.
Peace.

I don't know about a stairway but most near death experiences talk about a tunnel.

What a goofy question. I'd say you need to ascend at least a few steps of your own - on a staircase of spiritual enlightenment.

You won't need to climb stairs when you die, all you need to do is await the return of the Lord to raise you from the dead.
