I'm confused by nde that are very different. And why was not everyone convinced of the Catholic faith as a result? 😢
I thought the book heaven for real was debunked. The little boy and his father came out later and said they made it all up.
I have the blessing of meeting Glory Polo in person. I listened to her testimony. One detail about the poor person who did not know her and prayed for her was that he was a farmer in a very poor region of Colombia. He had gone to buy "panela" which is a solidified cube of sugar cane. In Colombia, they wrap the panela cubes in newspaper. Gloria said God showed her when this poor farmer unwrapped the panela, he read about the Dentist in Bogota who was stuck by lightning.
the Colton story of the young boy, I believe, was supposed to be untrue. Also Gloria Pollo is not sanctioned.
PRAYER, is so important. And it does change things. It changed My life. And all those that have touched me. Spiritually emotionally. I am alive because of prayer. Because my God loved me enough So, I can finish what I needed to do on this earth.
If you already start with thinking that you have to kill a person, a turkey is also a person, a non human person, then I don't think he had no nde. If you experience love, why don't you have more compassion?
So helpful, wondered about NDEs and how they were seen by the Catholic Church.
How crazy that M. Polo could willingly have abortions and yet believe she’s a good Catholic. Shows how deluded many proud Catholics are. 😢
Something not right with the Br. Stanley story. The would not have left IVs and intubation in a corpse, if he really was clinically dead.
Father, thank you with all of my heart for this talk. I have been listening (or reading through close captions because I have a hearing loss) to these stories for a year or so, and each time I feel closer to God. Somehow they are healing for me. I am a convert of 52 years, but I haven't been a good convert, especially the first 25 years when I didn't know that Jesus was the Holy Eucharist. But I love God and want to love Him more and do His Holy Will. I am so grateful for your talk. Thank you with all of my heart.
I had a near death experience in 2016 at age 44. I had two strokes, both major. The first stroke I was alone and was found 2 days later. I knew I would not die. I had the second one (slighly less serious) a couple months later and I wasn't alone, I was being cared for. Then a year later I had a dream and Jesus told me to "get back to Mass". I had been through RCIA, became Catholic in high school, had been an altar server for Monsignor John Yonk in Ironton, Ohio. After graduation I stopped attending Mass. I had been away for 27 years. But Jesus NEVER gives up on us. I returned to Mass, went to Reconciliation, told my Pastor (Father David Huffman) what had happened to me. And two years after that, I was asked to return as an altar server at age 50. I still serve most of the vigil masses in my Parish today.
I believe I had an NDE about five or six years ago. I was cooking at home when the pan caught fire, i went to carry it outside but I had filled it way too high with oil and it ended up spilling the moment I turned from the stove. I had no time to think about what had just happened so I kept walking forward and slipped in this large pool of burning oil. My face caught fire and my eyes remained open, but all I saw in the fire was pitch black. Miraculously the pool of fire went out after this, and despite having stepped in over 800°F oil with my bare feet they weren't burned at all. It took me awhile to process what had happened, but I believe Jesus showed me a glimpse of Hell, where my life was leading me at that time, and then put out the fire to give me a chance to redeem my life. I wish i could say I turned around right away, but like i said it took me awhile to process it fully, and didn't come back to Christianity for a few years. I ended up falling away again because my girlfriend at the time became disillusioned with the church we were going to, and I didn't press her to keep going so I fell away too. It wasn't until last year when he gave me many blessings that I realized he was there in my life, and after a broken finger and a car accident when I still was a bit lukewarm I made a full commitment to joining the Catholic Church.
The Catholic catechisms do not line up with The Scripture of Truth. GOD'S judgement is unconditionly equitable. All things pertaining to Him are perfectly Good and All these Things come Alike to All Souls, the Spirits of just men , all human beings made ,by GOD, perfect!!!
The Shroud of Turin is no doubt an authentic relic, but these HEAVEN Witnessing GOD Blessed and Sanctified, Ordained NDEs , as so well presented by the priest are a Here and Now Living Blessed Assurance of the Universal ♾️ ☀️ Salvation of the Godhead. Of course the great deceiver , great only in the sense of being the world's biggest liar, will claim that the NDE ers that encounter hell are also true. They are not. There is no sin that Christ hath not Atoned for. He hath abolished sin, guilt, condemnation, death 💀, hell, hellfire and the grave. By the Grace of GOD, We call no man "Father" and forbid no man to marry a woman. Same sex " married" couples are dead while they seem to live. But thank the Holy Trinity there will be no marriage controversies in Glory because Christ is the only Groom and the His Redeemed Church is the Only Bride. In Heaven's Paradise, there are no Jews, Gentiles, or Christians, no earthly identities of flash bodies, but only the Spirits of the Children of Light!!! Yes, the All encompassing Kingdom of Heaven is Our Long Home THAT timeless, placeless, space less, matterless Abode, the Totality of Reality THAT has Always and All Ways Been, World Without End!!! Being a Universalist, I Am a catholic with a little "c", a Jew on the Inside, a Gentile with a circumcised Heart 💜, a Baptist with a Word washed Mind , baptized in the Holy Ghost 👻 and Fire 🔥. I Am All Things in Christ Who is All and In All That GOD may be All In All, Omnipotent Omniscient and Omnipresent Pantocrator Megalosune, The Great Rays ☀️♾️☀️ of I AM THAT I AM!!!
Jesus by virtue of the Immaculate Conception was not an Hebrew, or an Israelite or an ethnic Jew. He was not a Christian, not a Seventh Day Adventist, or a Baptist or a Catholic, or a Lutheran, or a Methodist, or a JAH,s Witness, or Mormon , etc.,etc. He was Immanuel as prophesied by Isaiah 7:14, 8:8, and 9:6&7! He was The Word made flesh, as Witnessed by John 1:1-15 , Key Verse 14. He is the Saviour of the world, the Light of the world, that Lighteth every living thing that cometh into the world 🌎🌍. He was the Son of man that put death to death on the cross ❌; to that end was He born. He is Now the Risen Christ, The Son of GOD, Who came, was sent, into the world to bear Witness to The Truth. Every One That is of The Truth heareth His Voice. By the Overshadowing miracle of the Haze of Brilliancy and the investment of the Preternatural Influence of Mary's conception as the Divine Surrogate Womb, He was the ethnically neutral Son of GOD/Man Who is Thereby The Ssviour of the world, being no respecter of persons, the preincarnate Christ, the Priest of The Most High GOD ,One Melchisedec, Who having an Eternal Priesthood was not the Son of David, and having no human pedigree, did not "spring from the earthly tribe of Judah". He is no as yet awaited for "Messiah', but the Christ, the Anointed Author and Finisher of the Faith, the Here and Now Omnipotent, Omniscient, and Omnipresent Saviour of US All!!!
I truly love all the 3 Flocks of strayed sheep as the Scripture of Truth identifies the peoples, kindreds, and basic divisions of the earth 's human inhabitants. We see this first in Noah's 3 sons, Shem, Japheth and Ham. Who, as the story goes, overspread the Post Flood world 🌎🌍.Thus we are either Shemite, Hebrew/Istaelite/Jewish, Japhethite, European Gentile Christian, or Hamite, African/Arabian /Asian, mixed faith Gentiles. This can be seen as the basic ethnicities of Caucasoid, Mongoloid and Negroid. We see it literally spelled out in the Bible in Genesis 29:2 , where Jacob is on a visit to the "land of the people of the east" , the land of his mother's father and brother to find a wife as charged by his parents, Isaac and Rebecca. They want him to marry " good stock" who unlike his brother, Esau, has married wives of the local yokels , who are "wearisome" to Rebecca. While there in the land of Laban her brother, Jacob beheld a well in the field , with three flocks of sheep 🐏🐑🐏 lying by it. There is a key lesson here, but for a later exegesis. Long story short, these 3 flocks of sheep prophetically represent the major Faith Divisions of our current era as described by Paul in I Corinthians 10:32, "the Jews, the Gentiles, and the church of God (the Christians). Of course Christ Jesus as the Great Shepherd of the Sheep 🐑🐏🐑 is the unbiased Saviour of All US strayed, separated,ununited sheep. And We, His Firstborn Lambs are to be his co Saviours in this most glorious Task, wherein He exhorts Peter to "feed My Lambs, feed My Sheep, feed My Sheep (My 3 flocks)!" But We have a few bones of contention with the Catholic sub flock: our current "Pope Gregory" Calendar of 365 days is 28 years fast; the Mass of Christ mas should be April 15, not Dec. 25; Good Friday should be on Thursday, the day JESUS was crucified; Easter should be one Set Day , April 15, not dictated by the shifting phases of the moon 🌙; and the Virgin Mary, GOD rest her Dear Old Soul is to be revered but not worshipped, Mary was the surrogate mother who received the Divine Seed of the Genesis 3:15"Seed of the Woman"Which the Holy Ghost brought from Hephzibah/Beulah/ Jerusalem Above the Mother of US All to supernaturally make Mary "with Child"! JESUS as Christ was her Saviour, not her Son. As He never addressed her as "Mother" or Joseph as "Father" He was fully aware that no earthly genealogy could ever prove, that His True Pedigree was not Divine! But We Love and Forgive All people, even our Catholic Brethren, everywhere!
The term Catholic is not to be found in my perfectly sufficient English Translation of The Holy Bible , the Canon of the , 66 books. And of course neither is the denominational term, "Protestant". My Dear Brethren of both sects, ( no wonder John The Baptist, THE Baptist and JESUS The Christ called the human race ,as typed by the Jewish sects they were upbraiding, "a generation of serpents and vipers" , as a play on words here , the two legged serpents that are a result of the serpentine "sex" act, and no these two " sects" are not found written in the Scripture of Truth. And have you ever noticed how much the various "scripts" , especially Arabic, He brew, Greek , look like snake tracks and trails in the sand or like a wad of serpents havin an orgy. Even English scripted longhand is serpentine in appearance. Hey, maybe that's why JESUS advised US to judge not according to the appearance, and that the letter killeth. And Daniel did read his Bible there " between the lions/lines". So do you really think that JESUS would actually ordain Peter to be the first Pope after he had denied Him 3 times?! Do you really think that even the Omniscient JESUS even knew at the time what a "Pope" was? And do you really believe that The Apostle Paul, who had evangelized the known so called " civilized" world would have ever thought of himSelf as a "Roman Catholic"? And he called no man "Father", for he knew Him Who is the One God and Father ofAll Who is Above All and In Ewe 🐑 You , Every Sheep , All, He kwew Him intimately as "Abba"! You have worn out the Title "Ftr." on your priests, but have you/ewe ever called your True FatHer, "Abba", O Mine Papa, to Me You are So 🎶 Wonderful…"and seen that half that Greatest of All English Words is "Her" His Feminine Aspect, Our Mother JerUSalem Above? And though Paul knew the virtuous advantages of being celibate, he blessed the institution of marriage between one male and one female. And Peter having a wife would have been a most heretical, hypocritical, unqualified candidate for the Holy Papacy, would he not? Come , let US reason together! What have any of US the United Sons of GOD ever gained by Championing OurSect and denying that they are Schisms? Is Christ divided? No! And neither can He be! Grace, Love, Joy and Peace to All!!!

Reply to @ Eternity 0815 Great reply, GOD bless you! There is no death 💀. There is Another World, The Kingdom of Heaven, Paradise. It is not a "place" or condition, just the Eternal and Infinite Awareness of the Oneness of the Love, Joy and Peace of Divine Being! It is the Perfection of the Totality of Reality of The Way, The Truth and The Life THAT has Always snd All Ways Been, World Without End!!! The true NDE s all confirm the Wondrous Glory of The Paradise of The Kingdom of Heaven!!!
Tell me if you can , you well studied and learned Catholic historians why your founding Fathers ever ordained Peter, a married man, to be your First Pope? Okay, I got it, they had never read a real AuthorizedBible where in Matthew 8: 14, one can clearly see that Peter was said to have a wife. This most hetetical sect that claims to be a bona fide Church of Christ Jesus was a self-deluded nightmarish hoax from its shady beginning! Nevertheless, it is never too late to let GOD curcumcise their Heart 💜 and be converted to The Way, The Truth and The Life, where We are All One in Christ Jesus Who is All and In All That GOD may be All In All!
Someday soon the whole world will know that all men are Brothers, and We will All forgive every man his Brother and time will mercifully be no more. So even Now, already, We, Our House Love and Forgive All people everywhere! 💖💖💖 And O Glory Hallelujah What Freedom, What Joy, What Peace Cometh , like a Pure White Dove 🕊️ and Lighteth on the Shoulder and abideth evermore!!! This Moving of The Holy Ghost is gaining in Such Holy MomentumThat It is NOW, irreversible! Millions of Muslims are Coming to True Christ's, MY CHURCH Faith, Atheists are becoming as scarce as " hen's teeth"; the Jews are beginning to crack, the Buddhists and Hindus are forming huge true believing Christian Churches in India and Pakistan, and when the Iranian clerics convert the whole population will come to saving Faith in Christ Jesus. Many Turks are hungry for the Truth, and China will soon bend the knee en masse. And believe it or not the fundamentalist , judgemental, holier-than-thou Catholics and Protestants who think they're First, will be the last to give up their false beliefs and hellish doctrines, making It true that the First will be Last and the last will be First. What Will really shake their tree will be when they stand naked and afraid and witness The Reverse Rapture! And GOD will have them in derision, till His sides ache! Yes EVERY KNEE shall humbly bow…
Long story short. My wife was suffering from covid, but it was horribly misdiagnosed. After suffering a convulsion at the hospital, and being released, I took her to her sister's apartment for the night. She was completely disconnected from her surroundings. Next morning, amnesia. But she recalled having an experience at this time of being rescued from a terrible pit by Our Mother who sge called out to. Many others were being pulled down too, but she was saved. It was her reality that day. She gradually came out of the amnesia, but still three years later still has gaps in hrr memory.
Being scourged by demons in Purgetory …really … there can be no demons in Purgetory
Thank you for this video post Father. Touched the innermost of my heart and soul… I’m a believer but I also have sinned… It’s a lesson watching your posts and I woke up to do more of the Sacrament of Penance with a Priest… God bless you more Father. … Thank you my dear Lord and Savior Jesus Christ Amen 🙏 ❤❤❤
There is so much about NDEs that just doesn't square with Catholic teaching. It's a real puzzle for me. For example, 1/ plenty of people who have used contraception have had NDEs without negative judgments about that point 2/ It seems that people of different religion see persons and have experiences consistent with their faith 3/Many report that God does not care about our religion, but about how well we've loved 4/Most life reviews are said to be without judgment, just the facts and the souls judge themselves 4/ There is nothing in these about NDEs that I've ever heard of that points to the eternity of hell…with the exception of these very Christian NDEs, the theology of NDEs does not seem to be the churches teachings.

I had a near death experience 5 weeks ago during an operation. I saw Mary. She was all in white. She held me in a hug. She was so full of love. I felt i melted into Her. I didnt want to go back. Im not scared to die now. I cant wait to see Mary again. I love Mary more than ever
What makes me not fear death is the speech Gandalf gives to Pippin in Lord of the Rings: Return of the King. It's such a powerful, moving, heart-felt, but simple speech. Reading it in the book is impactful, but hearing and seeing it in the movie makes that speech hit even harder.
90 Minutes in Heaven is also a really good book and movie about a pastor who had a NDE. It's also very heart-felt, moving, powerful true story.
Amen 🙏
After my NDE it changed my life. Everything this man has said I believe.
Greetings from Toronto 🇨🇦 I met an ex-Baptist minister at St Helen's parish in Vancouver about 1980. We were at a charismatic prayer meeting. He told me that when he wanted to talk about his NDE experience that his congregation didn't want to hear about it and turned against him refusing to renew his contract. I don't know if he converted to the RC church or not but this talk just brought that poor man's sad and serious consequences to his NDE experience back into my mind. I wonder what happened to him and where he is now. If no longer among the living, then I pray that he's made it to heaven and now is experiencing all the love and joy God promises to those who love Him. Maybe he can say a prayer for me and one day we will meet again but in heaven. God bless you Father and thank you for the excellent talk. ❤ you and all things MIC.
I’m legitimately wondering how the Catholic Church knows exactly how you will be judged when you die. They haven’t died yet when they made this write up so how do they really know that they’re the Shore thing and authority on what happens as when we die?
I’m not trying to be argumentative. I really want to know because that’s how my brain works when I hear this and I’m really trying to get back into my catholic faith, but I’m having a lot of questions and doubts.
I thought the Colton story was proved to be fake and they admitted it that they made it up
How do we end up in heaven vs pergatory? aren’t we all sinners ? Is it possible to go straight to heaven ? And what if you’re in pergatory but your loved ones don’t know to pray you out and just assume you’re in heaven
Raymond Moody? Is this video a way to see how many Catholics are into this deception? I say, deception because isn't that what the doctrine teaches? Why would a person without the sacraments reach a pleasant state? Again, this is what I have read. From what I have learned, there is a slim chance of reunion.
Thank you Fr. Anthony for this talk. ❤
God bless you Fr Anthony wonderful talk🙏🙏
Amen.
I am from Mauritius❤ Can’t believe this …. Thank you God Father Son and Holy Spirit❤❤❤
Are you familiar with Robert Marshall's NDE? He wrote a book "44 hours in Heaven". I would like your thoughts on that
It sounds like it is better to be poor. God forgive me for anytime I have abused money or bought material goods that I did not need. I love You my Savior Jesus.
