Riveting response to my question, thank you, John.

I am a Christian/Theist/Deist, in that I accept tenants of all three. I do believe in God and have always been taught that God puts His own children first. There was no faith healer working on her as someone above suggested. She merely slipped into a coma as terminal patients usually do hours before death and had a NDE. She says God told her to go back to her body; she had no say in the matter and actually wanted to stay on the other side, but God refused to allow her to and told her she would experience a complete remission of her cancer. That was in 2006 and she has been cancer-free ever since. Most doctors will tell you that the optimum survival rate for most cancer remissions is 5 years.

By the Christian fundamentalist definition, Anita is unsaved and not a child of God, yet God chose to miraculously save her and ignore millions of Christian children dying horribly painful deaths from cancer. Which of you fathers out there, whose child needed a heart transplant, would give the donated heart to a stranger and let your own child die?

Since becoming a Universalist, I've looked into NDE's on a frequent basis, because of their universal God-is-no respecter-of-persons occurence. Anita's story makes no sense to the hellfire torment mindset, much the same as only saving (roughly) 5 to 10% of mankind. The realisation that God loves everybody absolutely equally, and is able to, and going to, restore them to Himself is quite liberating. God hides His glory in a way where you have to search it out and need faith to acknowledge it. I think He takes great pleasure in Anita's healing and few apart from the Christian community get it, but that's exactly how He planned it. Jesus wasn't at all bothered about people becoming 'lost'/mystified through unexplained parables, because He trusted the Holy Spirit to draw people to the Father at their appointed time.

Usually some Christians may Love the Lord and pray , but do not Know the Word of God ................ See cancer and many other diseases come by the demons , and Jesus will not cleans people who do not take up that authority and command the demons to go and rebuke them in Jesus name , as Jesus will not do that as no were in the New Testament does it say Jesus will do something about the demons bothering Christians ......................See In Mark 16:17.... Jesus said ...``And these signs will follow them that believe , In My name will they caste out devils ``.................See believers will caste out devils In Jesus name NOT Jesus will remove the devils for me , believers are given the authority of the believers to caste out the devil for Jesus , by the unity of authority and power of God ................. ..Many churches do not teach this subject , but some do .................. See there is a gland disruptor demons which manipulate the flesh of man and create the cancer cell usually if people are in distress and strife also If believers lean on the Lord and command and plan with Jesus then these cancer demons will not have a place with believers .. There are other demons of cognitive mind disruptor, abdomen disruptor , and mobilities disruptor demons , and all are a threat to stabilities in Christ and life

Understanding science is not your strong suit, is it?

Then He said, Solemnly I say to you, no prophet is acceptable and welcome in his [own] town (country).
But in truth I tell you, there were many widows in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heavens were closed up for three years and six months, so that there came a great famine over all the land;
And yet Elijah was not sent to a single one of them, but only to Zarephath in the country of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow.
And there were many lepers in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and yet not one of them was cleansed [by being healed]—but only Naaman the Syrian.

Proof enough that Christianity does not have the corner in regards to God and the things of God,and neither can it stop him from showing his kindness to whoever he wants.

Selfishness comes from a lack of self-love.
In order to truly care for someone unconditionally.
I have to feel that way toward myself.
I cannot give away what I do not have.
