Woman had an NDE in which she bypassed any judgment and went straight to heaven, In an odd twist, Christian theologians now take the side of atheists and say the woman's brain was starved of oxygen which produced hallucinations of heaven--something straight out of the atheist scientists' manual for disproving God and an afterlife. And why did the Christians side with the atheists? Because
"it contradicts scriptures"
Specifically Hebrews 9:27
[SIZE=2]27 [/SIZE]And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Now the irony in all this is that NOBODY knows who wrote Hebrews. It could have been written by the local barber for all we know and it was included in "holy" scripture merely because a council of arguing representatives of different religions in Nicaea in 324 voted to included it purely by chance.

Actually, Hebrews was likely considered scripture well before Nicea. But it is consistent with other Biblical texts, so it was included officially in the canon.
But to your first point....if an experience goes against scripture, the Christian ought to side with scripture every time.
We dont necessarily have the original language meaning of 'die once' in our english translations, but its not that difficult to figure out. It means die once as in death of the body, not how many times, since we also know there is a second death - the death of the I / self / pride - natural and spiritual. I had similar issues when i first came across NDE testimonies, thinking it was all too good to be true. Eventually, one cannot argue with the vast similarities of all NDE experiences, ...well, literalists can. So something else has to be wrong.

I think, as usual, you're missing the point, Viz. The point is that the Christians agreed with the atheists that NDE's are illusions produced by a brain starving of oxygen. Their premise is that NDE's are not real. Their criteria for deciding if it is real or false is based solely on a 3000 year old book of Bronze-Age goat herders' tales, not modern science.

Why do you say Nobody knows who wrote Hebrews ?
Isn't Hebrews in harmony with the rest of Scripture ?
Like the rest of Scripture, Hebrews has corresponding or parallel cross-reference verses and passages.
We don't repeatedly die do we ?________
The dead will have 'a ' resurrection during Jesus' coming millennium-long judgement day - Acts 24:15
Those judged as righteous after they are resurrected have a favorable judgement.
Only the wicked have an adverse judgement - Psalm 92:7

Well, here is a similar NDE that happened last year and this guy is getting pretty famous, I mean like Colton Burpo famous.

Naturally Hebrews lines up with the rest of scripture. If I wrote Corinthians and it all lined up with what Romans taught would that make it holy scripture? That fact you know I was the one who wrote it would give you pause until you heard I was a disciple of John. Then you'd have no problem accepting it, regardless of whether my name was on the text or not. How do we know this wasn't written by a member of Paul's congregation? Does that make it the "inspired" word of God as if God Himself is speaking through this person's handwriting?
Actually this lady was baptized four times in her youth, so God had the spiritual authority on her life , to at lest send her back as her time has not come yet because Doctors were still working to revive her , and she was not spiritual prepared to go to heaven ................. Just look at all those parents who will never baptize or dedicate their youth to Jesus , so God would not have any spiritual authority to help these people

Arte you actually suggesting the God who made the universe and the quadrillions of galaxies that spin through it is somehow incapable of saving a man simply because of a man's misguided choices based on never having learned about Jesus? Oh ye of little faith.
