- If you've lost a loved one, feel lost or ashamed, or you have a hard time forgiving yourself, you need to listen to Jeff's story. Start with part 1 and then listen to 2 and very importantly you need to listen to part 3 where Jeff answers some very meaningful questions. I think his story will be life-changing for some of you.
Part one: • #9 This NDE will Chang...
Part two: • #10 Jeff Olsen's Encou...
Part three • #11 Our loved Ones Liv...
Jeff Olsen is a number one international best-selling author who inspires audiences globally with his intriguing story of perseverance and inner strength. After a horrific automobile accident took the lives of his wife and youngest son, also inflicting multiple life-threatening injuries to Jeff (including the amputation of his left leg) he found the courage to survive over 18 surgeries and eventually heal both physically and emotionally.
At the time of his accident, Olsen had incredible Out-of-Body and Near-Death Experiences, bringing him insights not common in today’s world. Jeff has integrated these experiences into everyday life, inspiring others to embrace the beauty around them and choose joy in all they do.
Olsen’s latest book, WHERE ARE YOU? is a collaboration with his oldest son Spencer, who also survived the accident at the age of seven. They have captured in a simple and powerful way their healing journey through the innocent perspective of that seven year old child. “Where Are You?” is a heartfelt book for all ages and perfect for anybody who misses someone.
Among Jeff’s many accomplishments, he is most fulfilled by simply being a husband, father and friend.

I cried in part one. We judge ourselves harshly. God loves us with our ugly past. Healing ourselves and forgiving ourselves for past mistakes. Wow God loves us!
Yes. I love the part where God says there’s nothing to forgive. ❤️
I have watched MANY NDE's I guess as a way to draw me closer to GOD. And THIS ONE was the MOST profound. Jeff's encounter was something that REALLY moved ME. Thank YOU Heather for bringing US this.
I agree that Jeff’s is one of the most touching Near Death Experiences I have heard. I am glad it moved you as well.
Recently heard someone say: Young souls are here to learn compassion, old souls are here to learn self-compassion. This interview came to me at THE most perfect time. Much gratitude to both of you.
I am so glad the timing is good. That’s a great quote. Thank you for sharing it with us. Wishing you the best.
This young man is a fantastic communicator. What a story and what a spirit. Love and light🌷🙏🏼
Jeff’s story is captivating. I am so glad you enjoyed it!
😮
WOW!! WOW!! WOW!! 😊😊
You just said something Jeff , That hit home with so much TRUTH my friend..
Your first wife said to you, that she could only be as happy as you were..
I have never thought of it in that way before.. Thank you for sharing that.. Awesome piece of information.. It must be that way with all souls then.. We are all connected by consciousness. So this makes perfect sense.. so this is true for all of our passed loved ones. They are constantly feeling what we feel every second of each day... Amazing!!
I was taught that if you always cry and miss a loved one who passed, They will always be bound here by your feelings.
Never allowed to be free until you pass away and finally learn the truth of how we are connected by our thoughts and feelings.
I was taught to say a prayer.. Say your temporary goodbyes and let them come and go as they choose. They're always with us anyway. But dont chain them to the earth plain by your daily sorrow..
Be happy for the time you were allowed to be together here at that time.. In a physical body..
Loved your story. Im so happy for you now. God be with us always 🙏🙏🙏🏆❤️❤️💯💯
More than anything our loved ones want us to be happy! ❤️ I am glad you enjoyed listening to Jeff! His story is amazing!!
"To love your neighbor as yourself" is the hardest for me to achieve. Nevertheless, I always try.
Yes. Hard for me when I read some of the nasty comments. LOL. But I do try!
What will make dealing with those nasty comments easier is remembering their nasty comments are about them at least three times as much as about you. And water off a ducks back... A cool visualisation 😇🙏💕
I think I have loved others more than myself. Then I came back to my belief in Jesus. That began my change. I am not as critical of myself as I used to be. I am healing. That is one of many gifts from my Savior and Redeemer!
He is endless in His love for us! ❤🙌🏼🙏🏼🛐
Jeff’s part 2 was so comforting, we all seem to judge ourselves more critically, because we want to be good…food for thought…
Thanks so much for letting us know you enjoyed it. Part 3 addresses that too. We discuss getting over personal guilt and shame. I hope you’ll check it out. Thanks for listening!
@@Beyond_with_Heather_Tesch I just finished listening to it…so far 5 stars plus!
@@Whtfigo223 that is so kind of you to say! I really appreciate your feedback and comments! Thanks so much.
@@Whtfigo223This is the most significant NDE I have ever heard and what contributed to that is Jeff’s authenticity, courage and transparency. I could literally feel the love of God for each one of us through him. Jeff communicated his experience beautifully. I was deeply moved. Thank you
How very interesting is this immense situation because the accident unfolded, you didn't know you were going to have a split second micro sleep, but your first wife knew and she had the premonition to hug and kiss her parents, one last time. You have a wonderful Soul Jeff.
Jeff is indeed a beautiful soul!
Always listen to that inner voice we all have it. His wife didnt know she was going to die but she listened to that voice that said to hug her parents 1 more time. I have had this voice 3 times in my life. Twice i wish i had listened the 3rd time i did and im so thankful. 1st time i felt compelled to go to my uncles at 10 at night and i shook it off and didnt go. He killes his self that night, the 2nd i had spoke to my mom at 10 pm but felt i should call and tell her i love her 1 more time and i thought no she is in bed its midnight thats silly ill see her tomorrow..she had a heart attack and died instantly around 11pm to 1 am the estimated. Always wonder if i had just called would i have known something was wrong. The 3rd that same voice said better tell your aunt goodbye 1 more time.. after getting in my car i got back out and got to tell her 1 more time. She died , stroke 5 days later. Never ignore that feeling... i wish i hadnt but it was just meant to be the way it went.
Wonderful account of God's love, forgiveness, faith, and endurance. God bless you, Jeff, for sharing your blessed life's journey.
❤️
I lost my mom in 2022. The grief was crushing. But I know, like Tamara, she is watching me and guiding me to joy. I was in a terrible marriage and she gave me courage to file for divorce. These NDEs are so comforting and validating. Keep up the good work ❤
Melanie I am so sorry for your loss. I also believe your mom is watching over you and more alive than she ever was on earth. I am glad Jeff and these other Near Death Experience stories are helpful to you. Sending love.
Beautiful testimony.. bringing hope to God 's children. Great show. Great questions.
Jeff. It has nothing to do with luck. You are blessed, my friend.
… and a blessing to many.
This was my favorite NDE. So genuine and hope-filled!
Thank you!❤️☀️
Jeff’s story is heartbreaking and beautiful. It is one that always stands out to me.
I have been crying my eyes out since part 1.😭♥️. Thank you for sharing your NDE. 🙏
❤️ Been there! It is hard to imagine what Jeff’s has been through. His story certainly tugs at one’s heart.
I love the comment about "to what degree" can we love...I too feel that it is a process and that I will never get to the degree of Christ's love, but will continue to persevere...Thank you both for an inspirational discussion...😊❤
Marina you are so very welcome. Jeff is such a great person with an incredible story.
We are All one, really folks, it is our Choice..we make..for all concerned... and to become, experiencw what you are here to experience..Choose Love, Joy!!❤ Throyghts and Prayers.. Hugs n Love Barbie..❤❤
Barbie you are so right!! ❤️
What a profound comfort to hear this. God really is Love!
❤️ I am glad you enjoyed listening to Jeff’s beautiful story.
I also had one of those visitation dreams from my father who died years before. I had just experienced the beginning of a spiritual awakening a few months before, and it felt very frightening and lonely for me. I realized that nothing here is what it seems. It was magnificent and life changing, but so lonely because I didn’t know anyone who went through what I did. All my loved ones thought I had gone crazy and my husband could not understand (at the time). I asked my newly- discovered spirit guide to please ease my anxiety so I could sleep. I fell to sleep and my dad came to me and hugged me and told me I “was on the right track” and so much more! It was more real than this life and I have felt at peace since then.
Love this- I am so glad you had this experience!
I had an epiphany of sorts, about forgiveness. God doesn't 'forgive' because his love is unconditional = which is why there is nothing to forgive. It makes such sense, when you think about LOVE being unconditional. We are loved without any conditions. And if we are truly loved, then there is nothing we can do that requires God to forgive us. Forgiving yourself is for your benefit. Forgiving others is for your benefit. We often feel guilty for things we've said or done, and sometimes we hang on to that guilt. Guilt serves no good purpose. Forgiving ourselves allows us to move on, out of the prison we've made for ourselves. In the same sense, forgiving others also sets us free. 💞
Yes. I love this. You summed that up so beautifully! Thank you.
Wrong! God is Holy and sin can not exist in His Presence...so if our sins are not covered by Jesus Christ, then we're at enmity with God. Seek Jesus while you still can!
He hit the nail on the head...Gods will is our will and our will is Gods will. Fiat !!!
❤️
Wow very moving. My mother in law bought my kids your son Spencer’s book when their Grandad passed away. Thank you!!
😊❤️
Jeff's part 1 was just amazing and I cried and I get it. Lack of Love, self Love, ALL Love truly is the scourge of humanity. We are here to Be, Share and Radiate this Love. Oh Thank You so very much for sharing this very traumatic, deep, life story that evolves into Complete Love. It's Beautiful.
Elizabeth I am so glad you enjoyed hearing Jeff’s story. It touched me deeply too. He is such a wonderful person who has been through so much.
What l think is that most of us - human " self love " we interpret wrong way thinking that only narcissists, selfish people are able to love themself which is a wrong way. That's why we don't want to be seen a bad person , often we " torture " our minde and as an unfortunate result also our body ( a physical and mental pain ) and we are living in a constant stress, guilt , and feare. Thank you both for sharing your conversation and wize, comforting words.
Sending you and your audience love peace and light
❤🕊💥 Love you All 🙏🌿👋
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this. My guest Howard Storm talks about the importance of self love as does my upcoming guest Vinney Tolman )out June 4, 6, and 11.
My dad had told me : “If you never had a bad day,…you wouldn’t know what AHHHH GOOD DAY WAS”. 🤗👀👍
True.
I think its fairly easy to forgive yourself for some wrong things we are doing almost every day without much of our conscience or not much of our choice, but it's different and not so easy to forgive someone who has hurt you in profound ways. This is a real "art" of forgiveness
I agree. Forgiveness can be very hard when we have been deeply hurt. But I do know it ultimately frees us. Sending love and best wishes. I know it is a challenge.
This is profound! I came to connect with Jesus Christ through ACIM. That is exactly what He says, You heal yourself by choosing to heal your mind form guilt, suffering and the believe in death. He says that God's Will for us is perfect happiness and that we wake up to His profound love for us and to our eternal innocence and that we can choose differently!
Thanks for sharing this. I am so glad you enjoyed Jeff. His story is heartbreaking yet beautiful.
It so wonderful to hear others talk about their experiences it helps me confirm my own. My mind is always trying to explain away things that my soul knows to be true. Ik we can pull loved ones to us we are connected to them. I feel my loved ones around me fron time to time. Ive prayed that Jesus only sees the pain i dont want them to see how bad it hurts they are gone because ik i will see them all again. Still doesnt stop the grief that we have to go on in this realm on this earth in this life without them. But Jesus did bless me with a dream i can pull up more clear in my mind than any other memory, but i got to tell my mom good bye when she left this earth at onlg 47 years old.. she was beautiful her hair was perfect her face so young her smile so sweet. Her hug i can still feel that last one in that dream. When your greiving Jesus weeps with us he feels our pain with us he will heal your broken heart just let em. Its as easy as that. All we got to do is ask.
I am so sorry for your losses. It can be hard to go on without those we love. I hope these stories give you some comfort knowing our loved ones live on and are so very happy. Sending love your way.
What you are sharing is so special.
❤️Jeff is a beautiful soul and I am so glad he continues to share his story.
@17:42... This (I believe) is the center of our struggle with yin & yang in our incarnations on school Earth. Without adversity, how would we know the value of peace and love?
Jeff has very simple and yet profound ways to describe basic truths.
@22:00. His relating a meeting with this homeless fellow I found very touching. There, but for fortune, go you or I - you or I.
So great that Heather is able to draw Jeff out and allow him to share his experiences through incarnate life.
I am so glad you enjoyed listening to our conversation. Jeff is an amazing person. I am grateful he is willing to share his story.
I say "I live on with my Mum & Dads dna and love". They never leave because I am made of them both. I have the best conversations.
You've inspired me to talk about this. My natal Saturn in Pisces means "science" meets "spirituality" so things that show us that there's more to what we see are the best experiences.
Nature speaks to me all the time 🙏🏻❤️
Bless you Jeff and all your family 🙏🏻🤗
Thanks for sharing. Blessings to you too.
Thank you for sharing your journey. It really touched my ❤️and soul.
❤️
Wow! What an experience! We can learn so much from Jeff’s lessons. Thank you Heather for providing such an inspiring interview You present in such a professional manner Jeff I am so very grateful for you sharing your life with us. I hope you know the importance of this. You have definitely changed my thoughts on how I live my life. Blessings be with you all 🙏
I am really glad Jeff’s story touched you. It touched me deeply too. Blessings be with you Kery.
I totally agree because the scriptures tell us that he gave Adam and Eve the power over this world and of course they gave that power over to satan. We cause the problems and we need to fix the problems with Gods help of course. God has the wisdom we need so we have to seek him to find out that wisdom. He,s not far from us.
😊
If any of you think of questions while you are listening to any of these episodes, including this one with Jeff, please jot them down here and I will keep them in mind for future guests. I will also hold on to them in case Jeff comes back for a follow up interview.
wow, so emotional. Hard to listen in some ways, but cathartic
Yes. Beautiful and heartbreaking.
Beautiful! Thank you!❤
I am so glad you enjoyed listening to our conversation. Jeff is such a wonderful person.
Love conquers all 🙏🏻
Always 💜
❤️
thank you very much, Heather, for creating these videos on NDEs; I have watched a few now and they are moving, uplifting, and so insightful - thank you!
You are so very welcome. I appreciate having you as a viewer. ❤️
😢
Acts 14:22 (KJV) ...we must through much tribulation enter into the kingdom of God.
Thanks for sharing.
Needed to hear this 🙏
I am so glad this was helpful. Best wishes!
❤ .... wondering how those of other faiths experience near death ...? Surely there are those who were raised Buddhist, hindu, even atheist..... would love to hear their experiences!
Wonderful suggestion. I do plan to have people of various backgrounds so keep watching!
great interview loved his story and boy he looks like Robert DeNiro just missing the mole
You are right. They have a similar look.
You're so right! That's who it is! I couldn't put my finger on who I kept thinking he looked like. Robert Deniro!
thank you for your this genuine and profound podcast interview. as far as i understand today, the spiritual person whom we all in reality are is of the same nature as God. thus we ARE him in the sense of quality (although not fully) but never in quantity. we are divine yet we are never the divinity. it is the original soul who is the origin and the maintainer and the provider for all others (us) in existence. our relationship with God then, is one of mutual pure loving servitorship. if the element of eternal individual personality is removed from the equation, love cannot exist. this i have learned from studying , among other texts, bhagavad-gita as it is, an in depth ancient revelation of spiritual knowledge. thank you.
Daniel thank you for sharing all of this. You summarized this really nicely. One of my favorite authors always talked about the Bragavad-Gita, Wayne Dyer. Thanks so much.
I love your honesty!
❤️
Thank you both for sharing the hope❤
Our pleasure! Thanks for watching!
Great job Heather.
Thank you! Thanks for watching!
Heather, thank you for such in-depth interviews….
The ones I’ve viewed so far, which I’ve seen by other interviewers, are excellent truly fuller, richer. Thank you & your awesome guests
Thank you so much. I really appreciate that. Thank you for watching my podcast. It is great to have you here.
To Him/her who has been forgiven much,..
LOVES MUCH.
🤗👀👍
❤️
we can all unite around heaven 👍🪽🪽🪽💪
❤️
I just lost my wife as well and had a horrific car accident the next day where I almost died. I could never imagine to be with someone else. Just because my wife is dead doesn't mean I don't love her. I can only love one woman and being with someone else would feel like cheating.
I am so very sorry to hear about your wife. I can’t imagine going through that kind of pain. Sending love.
@@Beyond_with_Heather_Tesch Thank you, Heather. I very much appreciate it.
❤️
I haven’t had a near death experience but I so often feel the Devine as Jeff has said when connecting and hugging that homeless man. Usually the Devine is felt as we intertwine our spirit with what is in front of us.. sometimes in the most difficult situations. Empathy is a beautiful gift so as it it forgiveness and gratitude
Wonderful to hear your thoughts. So true on empathy, forgiveness and gratitude!
Wow. ❤
I am glad you are enjoying listening to my guests!
Thanks Heather! 👼🏼
You are so very welcome!
I lost so very many family members.....Noone has so much as sent me a message 😢
I am sorry. I think hearing from them isn’t common. Most are likely having such a great time that they are focused on the fun. It will be a blink of an eye to them before they see you again.
I,ve been dealing with my loss for over 20 years because of having a hard time forgiving myself
I am so sorry for all you have been through. Please keep letting Jeff’s words sink in. Your loved ones on the other side don’t want you to suffer. The greatest gift to them is to live the rest of your life with joy and gratitude. Sending love. 💕

Jeff, we have untapped personal power. When we collectively love and help others frequently our divine nature is shared.
Very true. Thanks for sharing Diane.

At 23.00 minutes where it was the most profound moment with a stranger
Thanks.
You cannot honor other beliefs as the nice guest says...However., you can love everyone. But follow the One True God.:) Father, Son and Holy Spirit.
Thanks for sharing.
❤😇❤️
I am so glad you enjoyed both episodes.

I'd love to ask anyone who's had an NDE what they think sleep is - what state of mind are we in? Between life and death?
That is an interesting question. Thanks for asking.
@@Beyond_with_Heather_Tesch if you ever interview Jeff again, perhaps you'd ask him. I suppose the same applies to being in a coma.
But I never signed up for this!
Sorry about that.
You refer to this video as part 2 however it is marked here as #10 part 2. I don't understand.
Sorry for the confusion. It is the 10th episode but part two of this series. For example the next three episodes with Vinney Tolman are a series. They are episodes 112, 113, and 114. Jeff's episodes are 9, 10 and 11.

The big question why all Whom had NDE have books written and selling?
Many don’t. It’s that you hear about the ones that do. Many NDEre were asked by God to spread the word - writing books is one ways they are doing that. In fact God specifically told some of them to write books. Others write because they went through a lot of trauma and it is cathartic to put it on paper and share it. Most of these people still freely share what they learned on podcasts like mine and other places. No one I’ve interviewed has ever asked me to mention their book, website or business but I do it as a curtesy. I often mention I enjoyed their book because I did enjoy it! Also, a common misconception is that authors make a lot of money. Most don’t make very much at all. I hope that answers your question.
@@Beyond_with_Heather_Tesch Thank you so much for this thorough, well rounded, and empathetic response!
Hmmm
Thanks for your comment. These experiences are not for everyone.
*"The Gospel ACCORDING TO Matthew", chapter 10, Quote; 34. Think NOT that I am come to send PEACE on earth: I came NOT to send PEACE, but a SWORD... 35. For I am come to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother, and the daughter in law against her mother in law... 36. And a man's foes shall be they of his own household... 37. He that loveth father or mother more than me is not worthy of me: and he that loveth son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me... 38. And he that taketh not his cross, and followeth after me, is not worthy of me... 39. He that findeth his life shall lose it: and he that loseth his life for my sake shall find it. End Quote.*
Thanks for your comment.
Please don't I interrupt the guests. Let them tell their experience. Thank you.
Thanks for the input.
The Lord said satan comes as an angel of light...maybe it wasn't God that gave this man this experience, cause if it was the One, True & Living God, then Lord Jesus would be the focal point of the whole thing!!
Thank you for sharing your thoughts on this.
*Many Claim to LOVE JESUS, so WHY are they unable to BELIEVE, "The SON of MAN" took me, "LIFE The Real Self" ( NOT The Human Body ) to "The Marriage Supper of The Lamb"... I also witnessed "The Birth of The MAN Child", ( which took about seven hours ) mentioned in "The Revelation" chapter 12... And as Promised I, "LIFE The Real Self", ( NOT the human entity ) now resides in "The HOUSE of GOD" !*
Thanks for sharing.
It took him 11 years to write the book because it took that long to make the story up.
I am shocked you would say that. Jeff has one of the most heartfelt stories I have ever heard. He is a beautiful and genuine soul. I met him long before I was hosting a podcast and long before he knew anything about me. I was just a random stranger telling him I was touched by his story and he was the kindest and most caring person.
@@Beyond_with_Heather_Tesch I never said he wasn’t kind or caring. He probably is. He verbalizes some very nice ideas about loving others and living life in the moment. You can’t know if someone is genuine and I don’t believe his story is. Maybe he has convinced himself that some of these experiences are genuine. At best he is highly embellishing. I’m really shocked by everyone’s gullibility. I can see his wheels turning quickly as he makes details up on the spot as you ask questions. Have you read Visions of Glory by John Pontius? I bet Jeff is part of the Mormon community that sees Visions of Glory as a type of scripture. His story seems to riff on a lot of what is written in Visions of Glory.
I find this very difficult to believe.
Thanks for your thoughts.
I suppose technically I am an Atheist. The REAL description would be I don't believe in "the god of Abraham, Issac, and Jacob"..that doesn't mean I don't "think" there is a life after death. I have been reading and listening to NDR stories since I was a young teen. It is very hard to dismiss these stories offhand. I have known people that said they had these experiences and I have no reason to doubt them. That leaves me with some interesting questions.
How can we "justify" the horrors of this world? I mean.....how can "God" allow the SA, torture, and death of a young child?
Or the horror of this guy's experience? The horrors of war? What is the purpose? God "experiencing" himself? Doesn't God already know all this stuff? If we "are" God then don't we already "know" this stuff?
Is this entertainment? I mean not just for "God" but for us too? Is it for contrast? Is it so we appreciate "heaven/home" more? I mean how are we supposed to understand Joy if we don't know misery? If we already know the answers then why are we here? Why would anyone "choose" to be born in the Favela knowing how miserable that would be? Why would someone agree to be born a female knowing that at some point they would be r@ped, tortured, and murdered? Why? Why was I born to wonder about these questions and not have answers? A friend once told me...." you have paralysis from analysis.." Hey, it's me.Sorry for the long rant.
I think all of your thoughts and questions are valid. I believe that we are here to learn and it seems like that is why we suffer. Many of my guests have addressed this. Even so it is a hard concept to grasp in my human mind but I believe it will be clear to me when I go home someday. Also, you don’t have to be an atheist because you reject religion. God is much bigger than religion. I think a lot of people who reject God are really rejecting what man has projected on to God. Stay curious my friend. Best wishes.
@@Beyond_with_Heather_Tesch Thank you for your thoughtful response. I know people who have had these experiences find it hard to explain. I get that. I also think that one day it will be clear again. That is why I don't really stress myself about it. If we already, either are God, or we are part of "God" then we already have access to this information. That begs the question what is there to "learn"? I suppose that leaves the possibility that we are on a "vacation". We are on a 'pretend' play-ground. Maybe, after the play is over, and the cast get together for a party you find out that the whole thing was for you. 'Yeah we have been working on this for about a Billion years, and finally got it going a couple of Million years ago. I hope you had fun. '😂
If that is the case, thanks for coming to my party. 🤣🤣🤣😀
@bruscifer I wanted to chime in - I had very severe childhood abuse and also a head injury at 2 years old and 17 years old. I have suffered A LOT. People like to put the positive spin on things, but the truth is there are horrendously ugly things about this world. That is why it was hard for me to come back from my out of body. I was depressed for a few days after. I do not subscribe to the learning crap. I am sorry, that may be the case, but that thought process does not help me. Do I learn? Yes. But I do not consider my suffering some cosmic lesson. That felt more torturous. I have also had an out of body experience and profound experiences with a divine presence in the last 2 years that was a being of love so palpable and so real and beyond this world. I do not know all the why's and for me, I try and stay away from them....there is more I could say, but I just focus on what is functionally healthy and helpful for me. I have always been sensitive to the unseen world, but felt that I suppressed it because of what our world is. Now I'm not, and I am learning that people use the advanced sense for very practical reasons (look up "practical dowsing" in an alternative search engine- it might be fascinating)- I feel strongly about not denying the body and physicality here, as well as our soul aspect.
Metallica?
I am sorry I can't recall what this is in reference to.
I don’t believe this guy. Not saying his story isn’t sad. Definitely a sad story. Interesting but also disturbing way for him to try to cope with it all. Seems obvious that this is his way of trying to step aside from his guilt and horror. He’s Mormon. Mormons tell very elaborate stories of the afterlife. There are a lot of Mormons making up NDEs like this.
I think you are sadly misguided and mistaken.
It drives me a little nuts when people refer to God as he. If anything God is a she, but obviously, it's ("we're) beyond any type of gender classification. I suppose I should just chuckle as you hear that Divine beings do when they're asked ignorant questions by human beings that are having nde experiences, not to imply that I possess even a tiny fraction of the knowledge, wisdom or insight of those beings. Then again, in "Ultimate Reality " I am those beings.
I don’t think God really cares. Saying “it” seems too impersonal. I often use he because that is how I grew up and it is natural for me. My guests may use a pronoun that is natural for them. If God doesn’t get hung up on it, why should we?
God came to earth as a man,Jesus. He was a "he".
Well, in the Bible, Jesus. Himself refers to God as FATHER. Where’s the question there? There is none.
Don't be driven nuts so easily. God is a He. Just accept it.
He is both
If Jesus is nowhere to be found in this...then there's something eternally wrong.
Thanks for your comment.
I would like to do to God exactly what he did to me.😮😮😮
You have always been loved by God.
Thanks for sharing but I don’t believe that “your soul came here to experience what it did.” I’m a Christian, so that sounds like New Age talk to me. You likely imagined that when standing at her grave.
We don’t have to go through “thousands of lifetimes before we merge with God.” That’s a Hindu belief.
When you know Jesus, you come to realize that God loves us and gives us a lifetime here on this earth, before we go to heaven to spend eternity with him, beyond this space/time 3-D realm.
God is our creator, and we are the CREATED, and we are not going to eventually “become God.” WE WILL NEVER BE GOD. We will always be the “created.”
This interviewer uses lead-in questions and you can tell that her belief system is definitely new age, not Christian.
These New Age beliefs don’t come from Jesus, but rather from a lot of entities in the astral plane that are lower dimension beings who don’t know anything about Jesus or His philosophy to love one another or to love God.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts.
Religion was written by man and manipulated and is filled with dogma, you do realise at one point religion ruled the world, anybody who rules the world wants power and control and religion used fear to capture people by creating hell. So people obey and neel down and beg for forgiveness, I’ve listened to thousands of ndes and they all share simular experiences and most turn to spirituality rather then a religion, not dismissing your beliefs tho as you did his experiences, I just trust those that have past and had the experience then a guy that preaches and tells you your going hell if you don’t ask for forgiveness or you make the bad decisions, from ndes it’s all experience and you choose your life, good and bad to experience. You can’t know love without the hate, you can’t enjoy the sunshine without experiencing the rain. Religion is on the right track but I feel somone down the line manipulated and changed it to inflict control. That’s why most people are turning to spirituality, it makes sence and we don’t have to say god works in mysterious ways, we simply say it’s all love and it was the experience you needed to grow and evolve your soul, and that could be a traumatising experience, could be war but I feel the bad happens in the wild such as war because life has a ripple effect and in order for a new world, the old would will have to end. Not literally but the system will have to go down in order for change
John 3:16 For God so Loved world that whosoever Believes In HIM WILL NOT PERISH BUT SHALL HAVE EVERLASTING LIFE. God bless you In Jesus Name. Amen ✝️🩸👑
@@TrueSlice might be believable if there weren’t so many hellish near death experiences. HELL IS REAL!
There’s something wrong with this story. It doesn’t seem to be a truthful story. Of course there’s always a book too. This guy is just too good at telling his story. I just don’t buy it. It reeks with BS.
Sorry you feel that way. Personally, I absolutely believe Jeff.
