Requiring incredible evidence is a sign of wavering faith, but Biblical faith is not one that has no evidence, but like getting marriage, salvific faith is a step based upon evidence sufficient to warrant it. Abraham did not become a convert thru Baker’s Encyclopedia of Christian Apologetics, useful as that can be, and the miraculous changes which result when a soul becomes born again and continues in the faith testify to a cause which upon close examination overall can defy known natural explanations. Rational souls do not write thousands of hymns about Jesus because they are imagining things, and radical changes in heart that where sought in vain, but resulted when a soul simply prayed a contrite prayer to Jesus, ought to make an unbeliever at least be open to the possibility of God.

As for NDE’s, there is much research by secularists that make it very hard to deny life after death, at the least. I think these links still work.

Thanks for the links, but I do not put much trust in NDE testimonials because the NDE descriptions from other faiths testifying its own beliefs, are available, too. Same with the hymns and poetry.

Like I said earlier, seeking evidence is an indication of wavering faith.
