(S5 E3) Answering Common Objections Against NDEs

By: Brian Chilton | October 31, 2021

We have already provided objective evidence for near-death experiences (NDEs) and have argued that NDEs fit well within a biblical worldview in previous podcasts. On today’s podcast, we examine common objections launched against NDEs and ask whether they hold any weight. This podcast will contend that objections against NDEs hold no weight when compared to the massive amount of evidence supporting their validity. Brian Chilton flies solo on this podcast as co-host Curtis Evelo had a scheduling conflict. If there are any questions that you would like Curtis to ask Brian next week, be sure to submit a question to the website or send us an email. You can easily submit a question to us by clicking the following link and filling out the form: https://bellatorchristi.com/submit-a-question-to-bellator-christi/. Send in your questions. We would love to hear from you.

Objection 1: NDEs are works of the devil/New Age.
Objection 2: NDEs are hallucinations.
Objection 3: NDEs provide a false hope.
Objection 4: NDEs are unbiblical.
Objection 5: NDEs do not hold any similarities.
Safeguards When Evaluating NDEs: Just ASK.
