Oh, But They Do Came Back! 4/23/2009 7:08:03 PM
Some people are atheists, agnostics, and skeptics because it is their choice, and they are always free to make that choice.
We are Christians because we choose to be, we choose to believe and receive Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior, and we too, have that right to be free with our choice. The main point of doubts and skepticism is the fact that "no one really knows" if there really is a heaven or a hell, "because no one came back from the dead." Well -surprise, surprise. Some came back and some still do. My brother, when he was critical and at the intensive care unit of a big hospital in Manila, had a few moments of "flat line" meaning his heart stopped beating and he was medically "dead". I was there with him and his eyes told me he had "gone" the pupils up and blank, his body rigid and not moving. It was around three minutes, and I prayed so hard to God to bring him back, and give him a few months to "be saved." The moment I whispered "Jesus Christ" into his ears, -he jolted back to life. The Angel of Death took the other patient beside him and the moment he regained life, the other guy breath his last. His fever was 41 degrees and his blood pressure dropped, but he was alive. After a three months, when I was praying audibly for him to accept Jesus Christ in his heart, he told me this: "Why did He bring me back, I died in Manila, I was there in the light, why did I have to go back?" I told him it was maybe because he had unsettled things in his life, and I had asked Go for his "return", and true enough, the matters of his finances and life benefits from the government were duly settled with his signature. He died two months after praying for his salvation, and he died peacefully.
Another incident I want to share to prove that some people come back from the dead is the grandmother of my classmate in Manila. She was absent from class for two days, and when she went back to school, she told me her grandma died and was going to be embalmed. The next day, she was back in class and told us her grandmother came back to life, after 24 hours! The old lady told her family she was on a "trip" a floating - and she heard voices "below" her crying, moaning, asking for help from the heat, the searing heat!" A voice told her to go back, it was "not yet time."
She died again after four months.
The last incident of a still unexplained "return" is that of a young woman who went into surgery for ectopic pregnancy
and died after slipping into a coma. She was operated on without the presence of any family member, only her boyfriend, and she died without having the chance to talk to her mother whom she called on the cellphone before the operation. In their house, her sister saw her sitting on the side of their bed, her face sad, anguished, and forlorn.
Her sister asked her, "Oh you're out of the hospital! Are you alright now?" The young woman answered, "What did they do to me? My body ache so much!" When the sister turned to look for their mother, and turned back to the bed, the sister was gone! Later they found out it was an hour after she died that this sister saw her. How can one die in a hospital and "be home" at the same time?
To those who still believe that life ends here, that is your choice. But I hope you do not encounter one that
"has come back" to tell you there is a heaven, a hell, and yes - God exists!
