Testimonials of those who
have seen Jesus |
|
|
On these pages you can find the
testimonies of people who are living today and who had a
near-death experience (NDE) and have been in the very presence
of Jesus Christ. NDEs such as these dramatically change the
lives of those who have them and can even change the lives of
those who read about them. These testimonies are firsthand
eyewitness accounts of experiences in afterlife realms which you
will not find in the Bible. It is unfortunate that the Bible is
strangely silent about these matters. The bishops who decided
which writings to include into canon chose to not include some
writings because they feared they were not orthodox. This
included all the writings describing afterlife experiences, such
as the "Apocalypse of Paul" which reads remarkably like NDE
testimony, and even the Book of Revelation and the Gospel of
John almost got the axe because they was suspected to be
unorthodox.

Religious
faith is inferior to NDE knowledge:
The spiritual treasure found within these NDE testimonies have
the power to transform faith (which by definition implies the
possibility of doubt) into sure knowledge (which by definition
implies absolute certainty) because of the light they shed on
particular problematic Christian doctrines. Along with the NDE
testimonies, I provide supporting information from the Bible,
early Christian and Jewish writings, and historical information
for people who seek answers to critical questions concerning
particular controversial orthodox Christian doctrines which have
been problematic for many people throughout history. The table
below lists some of the most critical that need to be answered
and which are answered within these web pages: |

According
to NDE research and early Christian writings, the above answers
in green text are the false answers. The answers above in blue
text are the correct ones. The links below connect to web pages
which will explain in great detail why this is the case. Because
early Christianity was so different than Christianity as it is
practiced today, many scholars have said that the entire
teachings of Jesus had more in common with Buddhism than it does
with Christianity as it is practiced today. This is because the
early Christian writings discovered in 1945 and the discovery of
the Dead Sea Scrolls in 1947 has given scholars a better picture
of the early Christians. They were Jews who did not renounce
their Jewish religion. They were believers in reincarnation and
taught a special form of "resurrection" that had to do with
becoming spiritually "born again." They believed that Jesus was
a very, very special man but not God. They believed that Jesus
would return within their generation. As you will see, the
evidence also shows that the early Christians were much more
believers in mysticism than probably most people are aware of
today. |

The Magi: From Zoroaster to the "Three Wise Men" |
|
by Ken Vincent |
|
Do you know why Zoroastrian priests are on your Christmas cards? Dr. Ken Vincent shines light on a topic previously known mainly to scholars; he provides the layperson searching for Christian origins an extremely readable but thorough exploration of a religion which predates Christianity by hundreds of years. This easy-to-read introduction highlights the parallels between Zoroaster and both the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament and shows the use of Zoroastrian imagery in the Dead Sea Scrolls. An appendix includes an English translation of the complete hymns of Zoroaster. |
