Well if God showed heaven to Paul and he was allowed to come back then he surely could show it to others. John MacArthur has a horrible religious spirit and it a huge narcissist.
This is the herresy of dead sleep which has been debunked for centuries. Read revelation. The saitns in Heaven are alive and Christ is the God of life and the living.
His answer surprises me. Not all time is the same. Today is not the same as the 1930s or 1880s or 1320s. God may be allowing people glances and a memory of physical death. It seems to me that today the "veil" is thinning. There are more strange things happening and being reported today than at any other time in history, that I know of. Much like the "time of Noah". As we get closer to Christ's return, I think we will hear more remarkable stories.
I don’t believe what he’s saying is true at all. Just look into IANDS!!! All of these people are lying?? As a Critical Care Nurse, I’ve witnessed enough death to know that NDE’S are very real and true!!!
I respect John Macarthur, but John Macarthur can't discount someone's experience, especially if it points back to God and Christ. People that have had these experiences are sometimes fearful sharing their experiences, especially when they aren't believers, speculation isn't the motivation.
It’s true that man is appointed once to die. However, the enemy is the one that tries to take people before their time. Jesus loves us so much that he chooses to intervene in situations where he knows individuals will choose him, when given the chance. In so doing, he is saving them from being taken before their appointed time!
After scrolling through some comments…. I read about 20 in a row that said the guy is clueless about this topic. Hmmmm. "The only one I know of who visited Heaven is the apostle Paul…" For whatever reason… that 's the only one he wants to know of. It's called being needlessly and actually sadly close minded. He is only willing to look at 2 dimensional black and white and is unwilling to see 20 dimensional Full Color.
1)~ I have heard many, many countless NDE testimonies from people including some I talked to personally about people having an Out Of Body Experience (OBE) by looking down at their own physical body (and also other people around them) from above by floating near the ceiling looking down at the events. The spirit separated from the physical body. It is very real and not a dream, not a hallucination, and not a dead brain firing off.
2)~ Hebrews 9:27 27 And as it is appointed for men to die “once”, but after this the judgment, ~ BUT also according to the Bible some people died at least “twice”. In the Bible it says Jesus raised 3 people from the dead during his earthly ministries being:: Lazarus, the daughter of Jairus, and the son of the widow at Nain. Also, Jesus rose from the dead himself and performed many miracles. ~ Jesus is not the only one in the Bible that raised people from the dead. Elijah & Elisha in the Old Testament and Peter & Paul in the New Testament are also said to have raised people from the dead. One man is said to have returned to life after being tossed into Elisha’s tomb and touching the prophet’s shinbone.
3)~ Also:: The Rich Man and Lazarus Luke 16:19-31 The Criminal on the Cross Luke 23:42-43 The Transfiguration Matthew 17:1-4 There ‘is’ consciousness immediately after we die, there is ‘no’ soul sleep (where we wake up at a future resurrection), and there ‘is’ a Heaven.
i disagree… the world is so full of hatred and sin , i believe GOD used the child to spread the word, as most people would believe a young child over a an adult
So proudly spoken a comment by the pastor. There is no biblical basis for ….. is there a biblical basis against it?
Is there a biblical basis against a dream, a vision? Just be careful of what you hear and believe. Even the Bible can be used negatively; so what is the point. Even the biblical approved things like dreams,word of God, prophets can also be a tool for manipulation. So would we cast it aside? Just be careful what you believe. Don’t be quick to believe.
NDE ARE REAL IT PROVES ALOT ITS EVIDENCE EVEN PEOPLE THAT ARE SAVED EXPERIENCE IT PEOPLE DONT LIE ABOUT NDE ITS REAL STORYS ABOUT PEOPLE THAT REALLY DO COME BACK AND IT CAN HELP THEM TO GET SAVED AND GIVE THERE TESTIMONY ABOUT WHAT THEY SAW WHEN THEY CROSSOVER AND IT CAN HELP PEOPLE GET SAVED YEAH AND TO UNBELIEVES TO BELIEVE AND READ THE BIBLE AND GIVE THEIR LIFES TO JESUS ITS PROVES THAT THE OTHER SIDE PAST THIS LIFE IS REAL YOU DONT KNOW ABOUT NDE INTELL IT HAPPENS TO YOU.IF YOU SAY NDE ARE NOT TRUE THEN ITS LIKE SAYING THAT YOU CANT SEE IN THE SPIRITUAL AND WE KNOW AS CHRISTAINS THE SPIRITUAL THINGS ARE REAL KEEP READING YOUR BIBLE
This man is doing what he feels is correct with the information he was given. Whether we feel he is incorrect or whether we agree with him – either way he is our Brother. I invite you all to focus on that first and foremost.
I love pastor John MacArthur I do agree and some things are what he says. But I do believe that Colton what he saw as a 4-year-old kid he was speaking the truth and God showed him glimpse of what heaven looks like but also he saw his sister that he never knew about and his mom and dad never told him or his other sister that was alive that his mother had a miscarriage. But I am well aware when I put my guard up when some people have near death experience that they don't mention Jesus Christ or the holy Spirit or they mention God but it doesn't line up with his word or his character because it says in the Lord's word that the devil disguise itself as an angel of light deceiving people to think that good is evil and evil is good. I do believe in some near-death experiences when some work experience heaven and hell but Edline stuff with the Lord's word and his character. I believe if it's the Lord's will to work through people that have near-death experiences God can work through that to change them and humble them…✍️✝️🇺🇲🫶
I disagree of what John MacArthur said God can use anybody according to his will and Glory especially a 4 year old child like Colton and what Colton Saul I believe was true but at the same time with that little girl aquiana what she saw was true and they had the same image of what Jesus looks like. I don't know why John MacArthur said that because I love John MacArthur's teachings I do believe that he teaches scripture with truth and doesn't water down the gospel one bit. But when I heard this and what John MacArthur said I was so confused about that. I watch and listen to quite a few videos in the past of John MacArthur and I don't believe he teaches a false gospel one day he teaches faith alone and Christ alone and not by works and he speaks the truth about the lgbtq plus community and the Woke theology and false pastors like Joel Osteen or Joyce Meyers and creflo Dollar and other prosperity preachers. One of my favorite preachers I like watching is pastor Charles Stanley and pastor Billy Graham and at times pastor Paul washer….✍️✝️🇺🇸♥️
Unfortunately NDEs do disprove your point Mr Mac Arthur. The idea that God doesn't talk or reveal anything apart from scripture isn't scriptural at all. Cessationism is false
God gave us all the information he wanted us to have about heaven and hell in the Holy Bible. If he did not allow Paul, who wrote most of the New Testament, to not speak of what he saw, why would he allow others to do that? The book of Revelation is just that. It is a revelation of Jesus Christ to the disciple John describing heaven and speaking of hell. Why would Jesus need any one else to add to that? At the end of the book of Revelation, John states that anyone who adds to or takes away from God’s word will suffer the plagues. This is my thinking as a student of the Bible, and I hope that no one will come to my comment with rudeness or disrespect. The book of bile tells us that we are not to quarrel over the word of Gods with one another, instead we can discuss or debate it. 2 Timothy 2:14-15 and 2 Timothy 2:23.
If this preacher was correct I wouldn’t be saved. The lord allowed me to return from a journey to hell. I went from hardcore atheist to a believer in a white hot nanosecond. Many NDE experiences are backed by scripture.
I agree completely. I think NDEs are dreams, and nothing more. People in India see Krishna, etc

Pastor John preaches the truth and everyone gets emotional
I had a nde sorry Jesus knows more than Paul . We don't need negative Pastor to tell us what we felt & saw
I don’t believe what he’s saying is true at all. Just look into IANDS!!! All of these people are lying?? As a Critical Care Nurse, I’ve witnessed enough death to know that NDE’S are very real and true!!!

Another false prophet. Sir you cannot comment on an experience that someone else had.
And why would a 4yo lie about being in heaven?
No, Paul died and then came back.
It’s true that man is appointed once to die. However, the enemy is the one that tries to take people before their time. Jesus loves us so much that he chooses to intervene in situations where he knows individuals will choose him, when given the chance.

Let’s believe a 4 year old. lol. Just like 4 year olds can convince us they are girls right?

I Have seen. Jesus face is as bright as the sun. I've seen him for myself. I know he is real.

What about veridical experiences? And how people change after the experience?
God gave us all the information he wanted us to have about heaven and hell in the Holy Bible.

Howard Storm would like a word.
This guy is so ignorant. Holy smokes.
Jesse Duplantis said he went to heaven on a cable car and Jesus spoke directly to him and asked him for advice! 😅
I think it’s incredible how he is stating his opinion like it is factual.
