Are Near Death Experiences Scientific Or Biblical?

NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES AND THE BIBLE
For as the body without the spirit is dead........ James 2:24a
Does the Bible point to the possibility of near death experiences as occurring, as being valid claims by some? Right from the beginning, God gave us clues about his book and his meanings, and we are told in Genesis 2:7 "And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul". And as one looks up that God means by soul in the Old Testament, it meant the body of people, of individuals in many verses, not just the spiritual side of man. As example, when two armies collided and men died, such passages say, and that day 10,000 souls perished, by that meaning that these lost their lives in battle, at the confrontation.
And by the oldest book of the Bible, Job we are taught that he said, “The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life" (Job 33:4). When the spirit of God is sent to a man conceived, it gives life anew to the new being forming in the womb. Furthermore God say that at death 'the spirit shall return to God that gave it' (Eccl. 12:7). God only gives the spirits of those conceived 'according to their kind', as he taught us in Genesis 1, for unclean/familiar spirits are not of God, but by definition are beastly, and of the earth, earthly (Eccl. 3). And this is not all said in this subject matter, for we are taught in Hebrews 4:12 that the soul/spirit of man is so tightly intertwined to each other that only the sharp and powerful word of God could separate.
Are you beginning to see from that just written so far, that the claim that the spirit (soul/spirit) of a man said to be hovering over his "dead body" while he is being resuscitated, from a traumatic experience or a cardiac arrest, is impossible? If you asked why I will tell you! Because for if the spirit of that man of out of his body then this latter is dead and cannot be brought back to life, for it is lifeless. What part of the verse, 'as the body without the spirit is dead” can bring doubts to your mind as to what it means? And on the "science" of the experience, is it not needed to be called scientific to follow the scientific method of 'observation/hypothesis/experimentation', so exactly what part of this process meets those requirements? That a neurosurgeon says so? Do not be silly!
Again that is not the end of it. In John 1 the disciples were told that Lazarus was sick unto death, for he slept (had died) and this was initially misunderstood, for the Lord intended to teach them the lesson that as God he can resurrect people from the dead. Given that the Sadducees had this belief that the spirit of a man hovered over his dead body for 3 days and if it did not resuscitate the spirit would leave, the Lord waited 4 days to come and bring him back to life, producing the evidence that even if one embraced the error of the Sadducees priests, he would perform the supernatural by the power of whom He was (see John Ch. 1). But spirits of dead people do not hover over the bodies for the dead bodies cannot be resuscitated otherwise, and only this can be done if the spirit of the man is still within his own body, not traveling somewhere, to heaven or to any other place. Are we going to believe the Bible or not? Or worse yet are we going to believe unclean/lying spirits (demons!) trying to persuade us of the line of the "near death experiences"? Hebrews 9:27 says that 'it is appointed unto man once to die and then the judgment'. Why would you believe the individual accounts of these that claim proofs/testimonies of heaven, that say that they have been embraced by the light as is put, and not the Holy Scriptures? As soon as a man dies he is judged as to whether he accepted the Saviour Jesus Christ or whether he did not and if the later he is going down to hell. But the concept that one sees Jesus, who does not judge, and that one's life passes by in a vision, before one's eyes, but it not condemned ever, but transported to a higher level of existence from which one does not wish to leave, for there is no death, is the same continued line being given in all accounts of the experiences. Have you considered that all who say this may have engaged in demonic experiences, whether slained in the spirit or participated willingly in séances or in imposition of the hands of subjected individuals to transmit demonic powers and entities? One cannot play around with the occult, not know it and be fooled, idiotically being subjected? If you open your spiritual doors you will let them (demons) in, and they will take more and more ground from off of you and bring their 'buddies' in, at first secretly so that you do not even suspect you are subjected nor to what degree. One cannot cross over to the side of the dead and have his body alive or able to be resuscitated.
Near death experiences by which one's body is deprived of one's spirit while one is going out to see as and expectator what others are doing to bring back one's life, life of the body, is nothing more that manipulation of the brain of those involved by devils (demons) to make them see visions, dream dreams, imagine things delightful, "feel" love and wish to thank mother nature and the universe for their lot, of which they are certain to the death. May God bless you with discernment and understanding in these latter years and days so that you believe the truth, and not "a lie", avoiding believing that the familiar spirits want you to believe, and stand exclusively on God's word. To say that the hour is late is an understatement and best is to wise up quickly, as in right now. May your soul be to the glory of the One who gave it.
