There was more than one statement. They were, "You are loved and cherished, dearly and forever." "You have nothing to fear." "There is nothing you can do wrong."
"I do believe that. It doesn’t change the fact that we have free will and sin."
Yes, but Alexander's vision contradicted the fact of sin; no vision sent by God would do that.
" I thought it was a wonderful book - and the near death experiences I have read about usually do talk about an overwhelming Love, some see Christ and some do not. But this was unique because there was no brain activity at all. To me it was very comforting, and I’m a Christian."
With all due respect, we shouldn't rely on our feelings when it comes to something like this. We might think it's comforting and unique and all kinds of things, but we're supposed to examine such things to see if they line up with Scripture. I believe someone actually wrote a book---a Christian rebuttal to this guy's claim.
Again, I don't see how Alexander can call himself a Christian while working for a New Age organization which promotes occult practices. Do you?
I don’t know. I do know that there are many people who have had near death experiences with similar stories and to me they are very comforting. Period.
