in which you stated the
following:
"So, let's
begin with the subject line statement
from above that "NDEs aren't in the
canon of scripture." That
statement does not take into
consideration that scripture reports Lazarus was dead
for four days and returned to life by
Jesus. That, by definition, is
what an NDE is; someone who dies but
is returned to life by God to finish
out their life term here. That's
why it's called "near death." If they
stayed dead, that would be the end of
their life here."
Lazarus did not have a near death
experience because he was actually
dead for 4 days, and he then was
resurrected from the grave by
Jesus. See the scriptures below:
John 11:14, "Then said Jesus unto
them plainly, Lazarus
is
dead."
John
11:17, "Then when
Jesus came, he
found that
he had lain in the grave four days already."
John
11:39, "Jesus said, Take
ye away the
stone. Martha, the sister of
him that
was dead, saith unto
him, Lord, by
this time he
stinketh: for he
hath been dead four
days."
John
11:44,"And he
that was
dead came
forth, bound hand and foot with
graveclothes: and his face was
bound about with
a napkin. Jesus saith unto
them, Loose
him,
and
let
him go."
As for my
statement the Bible does not say that ALL
the fallen angels are chained up in the
abyss, the fallen angel Satan is not
currently chained up in the bottomless pit
(abyss) and there are 4 angels (fallen
angels) bound up in the Euphrates River
(Rev. 9:14-15) who are loosed to slay a
third of mankind at a certain hour, day,
month and year.
Just like
Michael the archangel (Jude 1:9) is called
a prince in Daniel 10:21 & 12:1,
theologians also believe that the prince
of Persia in verses 10:13 &10:20 &
the prince of Grecia in Daniel 10:20 are
fallen angels that have spiritual
authority over certain territories.
