The Bible didn't say...

Okay, I can't figure this out.The Bible says,"It is appointed unto men once to die, then after this the judgement."Now the word "once" means a single time...agree?. And it's in the Bible.But then I hear about these ,I'll call them zombies,in the hospital, who you hear of, who say, and the doctors confirm, that they were dead, and some even died 3 times, but were"resurected" by the drs., and came back to life!!Furthermore, to back up that they "died", they give accounts that they went to Heaven or Hell,confirming the doctors story that they were dead!!Now this is weird and inexplicable to me, because the Bible says, "It is appointed unto men ONCE to die", not 3 times in one night,live a few more years, then die again,{permanently this time} how can these doctors override that?And if God is allowing it, why would the Bible state, appointed ONCE to die?I had a grandmother who they said wouldn't last the night, she "died" as thought, then was resurrected!!{But some years later died permanently}And the other weird thing is, some of them who "died" said they experienced nothing, neither Heaven nor Hell,when the Bible says otherwise!!{Explain that one!!}Now the Antichrist will mimic Jesus' resurrection, making one think if the devil can mislead up to this point.{"And I saw one of its heads as if slain, but its mortal wound was healed"}Who knows what is actually going on, but I would like to believe the Word of God over some dr. creating zombies in a hospital somewhere. Still, an explanation?

Call me stubborn because I am when it comes to the Word of God and I refuse to be moved by anything I see or hear or think that seems the lest bit different. I am always leery because the enemy is a deceiver and the Word warns us that in the last days the enemy tries to wear us out with his tricks so much so many will be deceived. So I for one am not going to fall for it but it does make for a very interesting discussion that is for sure. Smiling.

I thought it was a Satanic deception, because certain unsaved people said when they "temporarily died" they went to Heaven and were told they were alright the way they are.Others, like my grandmother who "temporarily died" said she felt nothing, and we know there's either Heaven or Hell.What blew my mind a bit is that I knew the devil misleads the living, but I thought after death that's Gods jurisdiction, the soul either goes to Heaven or Hell,based on their acceptance {or lack of}Gods salvation plan} But according to this, apparently, if, according to the drs. these people temporarily "died",and had misleading visions,the devil can mislead even into the first few moments after death.

God is a forgiving God. If they repent of their sins, accept Jesus Christ as their Savior they will go to heaven.

But remember we reap what we sew. There are consequences to our sins and the way we treat people. Look at David in the Bible. Read his life story.

1 John 1:9: If we confess our sins, He is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all unrighteousness.

Daniel 9:9: The LORD our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him;

Ephesians 4:32 Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you.

Psalm 86:5 You, LORD, are forgiving and good, abounding in love to all who call to you.

Exodus 34:7 maintaining love to thousands, and forgiving wickedness, rebellion and sin. Yet he does not leave the guilty unpunished; he punishes the children and their children for the sin of the parents to the third and fourth generation."

This cleared my question: The wicked will go to Heavenii if they ask for forgiveness but they will be no

Question: "Why did God take Enoch and Elijah to heaven without them dying?"

Answer: According to the Bible, Enoch and Elijah are the only two people God took to heaven without them dying. Genesis 5:24 tells us, "Enoch walked with God; then he was no more, because God took him away." Second Kings 2:11 tells us, "Suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind." Enoch is described as a man who "walked with God for 300 years" (Genesis 5:23). Elijah was perhaps the most powerful of God's prophets in the Old Testament. There are also prophecies of Elijah's return (Malachi 4:5-6).

Why did God take Enoch and Elijah? The Bible does not specifically give us the answer. Some speculate that they were taken in preparation for a role in the end times, possibly as the two witnesses in Revelation 11:3-12. This is possible, but not explicitly taught in the Bible. It may be that God desired to save Enoch and Elijah from experiencing death due to their great faithfulness in serving and obeying Him. Whatever the case, God has His purpose, and while we don’t always understand God’s plans and purposes, we know that “His way is perfect” (Psalm 18:30).

What about people who spoil others life and or treat others like trash.
Do they see God? I think they won't go to Heaven because God told us to love your neighbors like yourself.

"Father, forgive them for they don't know what they're doing." I believe that we must love all people and forgive them. Judgement is done by God.

Our faith is our solid foundation. It enhances my belief in the word of God and His miracles. God does the impossible. The birth of Christ story is one example. It's either you believe it or not. The resurrection of Christ on the third day and 40 days experiences which led to His ascension. Daniel in the lion's den. Mishack and his two friends in fire with a forth man. Many books have been written by different people who experienced short term death and their experiences. Death is a mysterious journey. I know that I want to experience heaven when I die.

Ask the Lord for wisdom that comes from heaven. He will answer you personally and may the peace of the Lord fill your heart today.

One sad thing I notice, is that a lot of Christians DO follow that, with the world, but then judge and criticize other Christians more harshly than anybody!!
