There isn't. There's proof of the power of faith to change peoples'lives, but what proof of anything more than that? Also i not that you quotemined - you reposted the transformation, but omitted the backsliding. Naughty
Thrillobyte's post about Christian people getting Christian NDEs -including 'knowing' who a figure is without any signs or hats with their names on. That is rather 'proof' of it being a product of the brain.

That's a rather clever bit of apologetics. The answer is that this Promise is a chimera; a snake -oil promise. This would only work if everything that You were was ripped away and replaced by laughing -gas. It would be no more 'eternal life' than an eternity on a machine. These 'eternal life' offers exploit a terror of death never mind being backed up by hellthreat if you don't follow orders. The whole system stinks.

I thought you have had altered state experiences, Arq. I am surprised you are not familiar with the kind of "knowing" without content support that occurs in dreams or altered states. BTW, you might consider the pointlessness of asserting that something you disagree with about reality is a product of the brain since EVERYTHING we experience is a product of the brain!
Jang Jaswal (Atheist/Hindu) was all through his life an Atheist. One year ago he had a heart surgery and went to the afterlife. He found himself in a valley with some people there facing a big bright light. He had some questions in his mind and received telepathic answers. He was called a Dog. He heard someone say” The dog has arrived” Then he was shown the universe and shown how insignificant he is. The light came to him and shone on him.
Nancy Rynes was a successful science writer and a woman of the Earth. Firmly grounded in physical things and never giving the spirit world a thought. In fact she calls herself Atheist/Agnostic just before her fatal accident with a truck one day while riding her bicycle.She died for 17 minutes and went to the afterlife. Where would an Atheist go if they died? Find out what happened to Nancy Rynes when she passed over into the other side of life.

This is some detail as told by Howard Storm. Howard Storm was a hardened atheist when he died in Paris France while on a lecture tour.He first went to hell and was saved by Jesus when he called out.In this video he goes into detail as to what he experienced in the afterfife in a way we can understand.He was taken to Treblinka Nazi death camp and to the future. He spent some time with Jesus and angels doing a Q and A session where he was able to ask any question. In this video he goes into some interesting detail that will augment his general testimony.

No it isn't. Everything that we perceive is perceived through functions of the brain, but that doesn't mean that there is nothing apart from that. In fact the evidence is overwhelming (seen logically - which i know you don't do) that a reality exists apart from what we think about it. Next time you fall headlong over a pavement -slab tell yourself it was just your imagination.

Oh my God A string of NDE's presented (after everything that has been posted) as though they should be accepted at face value (we shall give them benefit of doubt that they actually had them). Well, have your fun. Nobody is going to be convinced unless they want to be.
(Cue: 'you would not accept any evidence..') This is not Yet 'evidence'. I would bet a fat wad of dosh that none of these 'answers' jesus supposedly gave him would stand up to scrutiny.
We had a regular poster here for a mix of Christianity and spiritism. The 'messages' given by Jesus and "Luke" (there's the first mistake ) were such nonsense that it was debunked in the first posting.....and the several subsequent others.,

You know I am not a solipsist, Arq. But you just take for granted that distinguishing what is really "out there" as part of our Reality is an easy and trivial matter. It is NOT. Our abilities to validate our Reality is limited to the 5% or less of it amenable to our scientific investigations.

More accurately: Nobody (i.e TRANSPONDER) is going to be convinced unless they are open-minded and humble enough to be able to consider an opinion different from their own.
Do you really think I'm expecting anyone to be convinced from a couple videos?? If someone is genuinely interested in answers they would not limit themselves to a discussion forum, waiting for convincing evidence to be "presented" to them. I've researched this topic. Have you researched it, or is your opinion 'uninformed'?

Double-posting will not make your arguments truer or stronger, Arq.
