Why people talk about after life which they never experienced before?

Question

Who witnessed a truly dead people speak to livings?....Don't tell me about Jesus, no one witnessed his resurrection, his corpse might be stolen and those people who claimed saw him might be in PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder) state.

to primoa, after the tsunami, million of Thais saw ghosts too

oh BTW, I don't believe witness, I only believe Evidence---shameless stole it from CSI

To Don, if I suddenly feel a presence near me when I'm driving....I'll have a car accident..lol........scary~~~~

there're other people video taped, the sun sports and 8000 carat diamond, there are hard Evidence......don't you understand evidence

Answer 1

First of all I am a Christian but I am not closed minded. I have talked to nurses who have sworn to have seen the spirits of people leave their patients bodies when the patient passed away. My own Grandfather came to see my son who was a tiny baby and named after is great grandfather. At the time my Grandpa passed away. Now I admit it could have been a dream but I know I saw my Grandpa,next to my bed and he was looking into the cradle at my baby! He said I came to see little Gene. I lived in Orlando Fla and my Grandpa was in Danville, IL. I got the telegram the next morning. Grandpa passed away.

Answer 2

Actually you don;t know anymore then anyone else if there were witnesses to Jesus' resurrection. So don't come off that you are right and everyone else is wrong. You sound foolish because you are claiming to know something that you are claiming is unknowable at the same time.

I have never witnessed many things in my life. Sun spots, The 8,000 carat diamond in South Africa, Planets outside this solar system (after all we only have discoverd about 100 outside this solar system), or a Leafy Sea Dragon. Neither has anyone else I know ever seen these things. Does that mean they do not exist? Should we call the few people who have seen these things Victims of PTSD?

Tell me when you ask a question like this what part of the definition of faith (Belief that does not rest on material evidence) don't you understand?


EDIT:
Obviously you don't understand that there are people that claim to have video taped the dead speaking (while I don;t personally believe the tapes)some take it as evidence. Also you are obviously do not know that no one has seen or taped the 8,000 carat diamond.

And I grasp the concept of evidence very well, which is why I asked you the follow question you did not answer: WHAT PART OF THE DEFINITION OF FAITH IS BELIEF WITHOUT MATERIAL EVIDENCE DO YOU NOT UNDERSTAND?

Also you apparently can't grasp that you are claiming to have the answer to something you are claiming is unknowable.

Answer 3

the nature of the spiritual realm is that it is non-corporeal. something that has no physical presence will leave no physical evidence. so, if you are not experiencing the spiritual realm, that's too bad for you. nobody's going to prove it to your satisfaction. that doesn't make it false.

most of my friends have had experiences involving departed loved ones or family members. like you, i don't experience these things, but at least i'm open-minded enough to listen and learn.

Well, when a person is born again, they are born of His Spirit. This is the Christian sealed of the Holy spirit. Allso the ability to see & hear the spiritual. When we die, our soul/spirit is still alive & goes to be with the Lord

So? You may not have seen what spiritual has happened in my life, but I have. And the Holy Spirit gives us assurance where we are going after we live this life.

One Christian who experienced heaven http://www.90minutesinheaven.com .

Also, when we are praising God in worship, we can easily slip into Gods love everlasting. And this is heaven in the moment. So? I have had some experience of after life. Because heaven is the afterlife for me. When you are born again, you can then see the Kingdom of God. You can then sense Gods love for you. God has loved us with an everlasting love. And we experience this.

Answer 5

For many years I felt the same way.

Several years ago I had an unusual experience concerning an uncle, a distant relative who lived over a thousand miles away.

While driving my car I suddenly felt the unmistakable presence of this relative that I hardly even knew. He was more like someone I had heard about than someone I knew. It was very strange; it felt as though I was momentarily lifted right out of my physical body. I seemed to be suspended somehow beyond space and time, bathed in a love so intense It felt like I could have just disappear into it at any moment if It would have let me. It only lasted for a few seconds, but it seemed to last forever at the same time. I realize how crazy this must sound. The experience was so strong that at first I was afraid I was loosing my grip on reality. I finally managed to chalk it up to an over active imagination.

Three days later I got a call from my aunt telling me that this uncle we are talking about had gone into a coma and died the day I had the experience. It felt like ice water had been poured down my back when she told me this. I had lost any real ideas of God or faith and had become somewhat of an atheist. Needless to say this experience caused me to rethink some of the conclusions I had come to.

I feel blessed to now understand that even in our darkest confusion something loves us so much that it went out of its way to assist me and bring me back to a state of absolute certainty about Gods love for us.
During the experience it seemed like there was a vast amount of information that I was somehow allowed access to. One thing that I came away from this experience understanding beyond any shadow of a doubt was that any Idea that God is unhappy with us or would judge or allow us to be punished for any reason is simply impossible.

I can’t explain the love I felt with words. They simply don’t make words big enough or complete enough to do this. The only way I can begin to convey this love to you is to say that there was simply nothing else there. Nothing but love. No hint of judgment, no displeasure of any sort. It is as though God sees us as being as perfect as we were the day we were created. It is only in our confused idea of ourselves that we seem to have changed.

I hope this is of some help to you. Good luck. Love and blessings.

Encounters with Spirits would have made them to think about Near ones / Themselves [ In its Place ] .

Answer 8

But here's where you're wrong:

True, we haven't experienced it.........yet.

But we will someday soon..

Praise God!

Edit:
And by the way, Jesus was seen by over 500 people in His resurrected state.

Answer 9

Because the life in this world is so weary...

Answer 10

People talk about after life cause they want it to be real, so they try to convince themselfs, and the more people will believe them, the stronger their blind faith will become
