I find it hard to connect to people people of no belief or belief in heterodoxy, I live in America a lot of people simply don't grasp true Christianity which is orthoxy because they believe KJV Bible is the accurate Bible and the only way is if they just trust they're bible And I see the confusion in they're churches so many protestant churches that can't agree on simple things or they're pastor speaks herassy twisting the context of the scripture.
How do i conversate with Protestants and non believers? They either get really angry, stubborn, or completely shut me out which some of family has shit me out because of my faith

My husband (33M) and I (32F) gathered our friends and family together at our new house we are building before the drywall went up. We even flew out a couple people. We had everyone sign well wishes, prayers, or Bible verses on the beams.
There is one of my husbands friends (his best friends wife) that I’ve had a strained relationship with ever since my husband and I got engaged. My husband and I dated well less than a year before he proposed. We’ve been friends since we were in high school but always had other relationships going on at different stages in our lives.
His best friend and now wife, who we will call Zilla, had been dating nearly a decade with no ring. When we announced our engagement, she was horrible to me and at one friend gathering, other friends in our circle were congratulating us and wanted to see my ring and Zilla huffed really loud, threw her hand up and stormed off, grabbing her then boyfriend and left without saying goodbye (he did say bye).
Any time we were asked about our wedding, she had a disgusting look on her face and acted upset. She finally bullied and hissy fitted her way into a ring a month later because my husband’s best friends life was miserable any time we or our pending wedding got brought up. THEN all she wanted to do was talk about her wedding and complain how stressful it was and just wanted it to be over. Also to add, she planned her wedding less than a month after ours and we both were asked in be in the bridal party. She even had her mother call my then fiancé to ask why I didn’t have a bridesmaid dress 6 months before her wedding - mind you, I didn’t have my wedding dress yet. Zilla essentially made the year of our wedding hell and made everything about her. She and her now husband even went as far as to threaten not to come to our wedding if we did certain things for our wedding that they wanted to do for theirs, which genuinely hurt because if you truly love us, why withhold your company on one of the most important days of our lives.? Especially over details on someone else’s day??
Fast forward back to now, and my husband and I asked everyone over to our building to sign the beams and pop open the bottle I bought a couple years before, just for this occasion. All of our friends have children that are walking and talking. We haven’t had any children. My husband is over the moon that I’m pregnant, which I was worried about because we didn’t plan on having children. He was excited to announce at our gathering that we were expecting because everyone that was closest to us would be there.
Everyone showed up, took a tour of the layout, congratulated us and showed a lot of excitement for something we’ve wanted for a long time, a perfect and custom home of our own. Everyone signed beams - I’m truly in love with this idea and it’s so comforting to know we have love and prayers, verses and well wishes on the very bones of our home behind the now erected walls. A part of me wants to be resentful that Zilla signed anything but she did a Bible verse so, I can’t really be upset at that.
We popped open the bottle of champagne and made sure everyone had a glass and my husband made a toast and added our exciting baby news. Everyone was hooping and yelling “WHAT” “ARE YOU SERIOUS”. And Zilla said, “NO WAY! ME! TOO!” I couldn’t fix my face when she said this. I went from smiling and laughing hugely to not at all and just looking at her.
I know other people in their friend groups would be thrilled but I felt like she stole our moment. She had her moment when she was first pregnant. Which she also stole another friends moment and mistreated them when they got pregnant before her, until she finally got pregnant. Also, the last time Zilla was pregnant, that’s all she could talk about and she was miserable to be around if it wasn’t about her. And now I feel like I’m back to the year of our wedding where I’m sharing in a life event and I couldn’t just have a friend be happy for my husband and I. She couldn’t even congratulate us. She made it about her.
I was looking at Zilla and my husbands best friend and heard myself say, “Congrats!” And then I walked away. My husband and husband’s adopted parents (My MIL & FIL is what I refer to them as) followed me and I got in our car. My MIL climbed in the passenger seat and I was crying and upset. My husband opened my car door, hugged me and was trying to soothe me. He teased me that we should’ve seen that coming, she never lets anyone have their moment. I didn’t tell them bye and left with my MIL and my husband and FIL stayed behind until they left.
I wanted to flip out and tell her about herself. I’m still debating doing so but I’m afraid I’m not thinking clearly because of all the hormones. AITHA?

I’m 24M and I’ve never been in a relationship. I’ve had a desire for marriage for a few years now. Everyone keeps telling me that God will bring someone into my life someday. However I have found 0 scripture to support this. And when I do talk to Christians about this.. they say that I should just “trust in God, and focus on him” the thing is I don’t know what to trust him to do. I’m taught to trust in God’s promises., but God does not promise me a wife. So how do I find comfort with this desire not knowing if it will ever be fulfilled. I have been aiming to shift my focus from this desire through daily prayer and Bible reading as well as even fasting and replacing meals and activities with time of intentional prayer. But after 3 years of doing that consistently it still hurts and I’ve had nothing but added anxiety and depression. What scripture is there for lonliness derived from singleness specifically. It seems like the church just avoids this topic and blankets it with trust god in this “season”. Except seasons are supposed to end.

I was born into a world unwelcoming. A world with pain lurking around every corner, Pain in which infested my home despite my prayers.
I grew scared of my parents a 5, Each day their voices grew louder and the hate grew stronger for one another. I grew scared of my parents at 5, When their hate began leaking out of their bedroom like poison, When the pain consumed me. When their violence began to intertwine with who they were.
I lost my childhood at 6, My parents divorced leaving me grasping at the life I had. Leaving me wondering if I could ever get my happiness back. I lost my childhood at 6, When I had to come to terms with a monster being my father. I lost my childhood at 6, When talking my mother off the ledge was a daily occurrence. I lost my childhood at 6, When crying became a word I could no longer explore. For if I fell apart would my family as well? I lost my childhood at 6, When I had to become a parent to my sister. I lost my childhood at 6, When I prayed everyday for God to help me, save me, fix me?
At 7 I lost my religion, praying to a lord that was supposed to save me. A lord that let me sit and dwell in a family that was broken. Sitting in a family that could never speak a word without lies lacing their lips. A family whose sadness turned to violence, One that I always happened to be in the way of. I lost my religion at 7, when begging for a reason to stay was returned with silence. When praying to god became an obligation rather than a wish. When religion ran ramped in my life, My mother thinking the devil had taken hold of me.
I wanted to die at 8, When the world became to much. When my life was always put after others. When suicide was labeled as selfish, Instead of help I was called self-serving. I wanted to die at 8, When the world no longer felt like I had a place in the future but instead a place in the past. I wanted to die at 8, When crying felt like water, and never tears.
I died at 9, I no longer could cling onto my childhood. No longer could I act like a human of self-interest . I no longer could draw. I no longer could write. I no longer could smile. I no longer could connect. Everything that made me, me Died. I died at 9, Becoming a person of fear. Becoming a person of hate.
I wish I lost my mother at 10, My kind mother, no longer braced me in her arms. her tears turned to knives. Her kisses turned to razors. Her Smile turned sadistic. I wish I lost my mother at 10, I wish she died so I could keep the memory of her, as her. Not as the monster she’s become.
I became completely alone at 11, My family no longer understood, My sister could never share my thoughts. I became completely alone at 11, My sister became a girl in a bubble, Ignoring the past, and acting like it had never happened. I became completely alone at 11, Not wanting to hold others back, Which in return, held me back even more.
I was wrong at 12, I met a girl, One that made me smile. A connection that made me keep living. I was wrong at 12, I became a child forced into scripture. I became a child in need of the Bible. I became a child forced into conversion. I became a demon in need of cleanse.
I lost my world at 13, I knew a girl, One that was my world, A girl who became a path out of my hell. I lost my world at 13, I watched as her family turned, no longer humans. Just hollow faces and molds of horrific flesh, flesh in the shape of horns and hate. I lost my world at 13, feet dangling, an image so clear. an image ingrained into my brain. An image that ruined my world and hung my love out to dry.
I was wanted at 14, my only friend, a source of light. I was wanted at 14, her arms ran up my thighs as I cried. Her smile grew, and her fingers bedded in my skin. I became a dog, scratching at doors, windows, life. I was wanted at 14, When I became ecstatic to be forgotten and ignored. I was wanted at 14, My only source of light, was extinguished.
I never was 15, I spent my time in and out of behavioral facilities. My mother found this as a form of fun. Dropping a dish meant being gone for months. I became a child forgotten in a room, one filled with a bed rim and white walls. I sat there, until remembered. I never was 15, I saw the time tick by, My heart rate was measured and my wrist band checked. ¨Happy Birthday¨ A Man said, as he eyed my chest. That was the first time I had heard that in years.
I became a number at 16, Another name on a stack of paper. Another essay in need of grading. A student begging for help, yet just another number on their desktops. I became a number at 16, when adding to a rape statistic became another occurnce, When crawling under bathroom stalls, When bleeding on the floor, When ripped clothing, became just another number.
I was left at 17, When my sister was of age, When she left me in a pit with the Lion. I was left at 17, When being dragged back inside the den, Was returned with only a smile And an empty promise.
I may not make it to 18.

Lately, I've been very curious as to where a lot of these far out claims that unbelievers make come from (i.e. Lilith allegedly being Adam's "first wife," the Bible allegedly endorsing rape and slavery, Jesus allegedly coming only for the Jews, etc). So, I posted in a sub of unbelievers, to inquire as to how they go about studying the Bible to determine what they think it actually says.
Do they just google "what does the bible say about ____?" Do they look to see if what they're reading is referenced anywhere else, or makes reference to another passage? Do they just read the Bible, cover-to-cover, taking notes, dog-ear pages, or maybe even consulting a commentary?
When the first few responses came back, I thought maybe my question wasn't clear enough, or had been misunderstood; no one was actually addressing the question I'd asked, but rather, they were referencing studies which claimed that atheists know more on average about Christianity than Christians, Catholics, and Mormons, or stating "there's just no evidence," or mentioning how they saw different people behave during covid. But not one person responded to the actual question: how do you study the Bible to determine what it actually says?
As more responses came, however, I realized my question was posed just fine; people (online, in the sub I'd posted to, anyways) simply aren't interested in having such a discussion. They would much rather just ignore the question, and sling whatever "evidence" they find most compelling at you in an attempt to prove to you that "the magic sky daddy is fake, your faith is a sham, the religion is a scam, and your book teaches monstrous morals." I think this is worthy of note, as something similar seems to occur during a majority of my interactions with unbelievers on social media.
This brings up two points I think many Christians need to be reminded of:
First, don't waste your breath.
If you're engaging in a conversation about Christianity, and your questions or points are being completely ignored, you might want to consider ending the conversation. It's simply not beneficial to engage with someone who is only there to argue and to prove you wrong. Now, what I am not saying is that we shouldn't be advocating for the faith, evangelizing, or sharing the gospel. But if the other party is not engaging with the goal of actually listening and reasoning with you, the conversation will devolve into an argument, and that argument will be of no benefit. I personally have taken to beginning/joining such conversations with the question, "If I could prove to you that the Christian God is real, would you believe in Him?" If the answer is yes, there's a pretty good chance you'll have a good conversation with such a person. If the answer is no, depending on the reason why (because it's pretty much always a "no, because..." answer), you may want to consider just leaving the conversation there. Don't waste your breath trying to convince someone of something they've already told you they will not believe even if you could prove it to them.
Second, trust in God's word, not your own argument. If you do run into someone who answers yes to at least considering God if you can prove Him to them, then it will be God who draws them to Himself, not your opinions, arguments, personal experiences, etc that lead them to God. What I've found during my conversations with unbelievers is that a vast majority of them have absolutely no clue what the Bible actually teaches! They may know a good deal about what the Bible says, but only what it says in this verse or that, specifically, which supports their argument; regardless if they have to take said verse out of context, disregard where another verse, in context, directly refutes their argument, etc. 8 times out of 10, what I've found is that any verse an unbeliever may use to show what they think is some horrible thing, if read within the chapter it's in, will gain the context needed to at least show their claim is incorrect (the remaining 2 out of 10 you may need to go a few chapters before or after to gain a better picture of the context).
Which leads me to my final point: unfortunately, in order to have a beneficial conversation with even fair and reasonable others, we as Christians must simply be more knowledgeable of scripture. You will not have time, for example, to read the surrounding 4 chapters of a verse to provide a full picture of its context in the middle of a conversation. You will typically need to just know it off the top of your head, or be able to find it quite quickly. This means that, among the other reasons why we should be doing this anyway, there is a benefit to reading your Bible daily. As Christians, we should know our Bible best. Are we not called to always be prepared to give a defense to everyone who asks an account of the hope that is in you (1 Peter 3:15)? Should we be content, engaging in such conversations and struggling to deal with random claims which we should know are being taken out of context, and be able to refute, rather than derailing a conversation to focus on one point which isn't even scriptural?
Remember, the scriptures are the literal, recorded word of God (2 Timothy 3:16); do you reckon that you are more able to bring others to God than He is Himself? Do you think that your stories and reasoning are superior to the Almighty's? Trust in God's word rather than your own.

Looking for advice to help someone being treated like garbage!
A good friend of mine is having issues at work & a recent blow up with management doesn't sound legal, but I don't know if anything can be done. We live in the US, so employee rights are pretty bare!
"Are you on your meds?"
Can they really ask this? The job isn't in healthcare, transportation, or any industry where it might be expected. It's a minimum wage production job (not involving machinery). From everything I've read, this is a real gray area.
Preventing ability to leave one department to another
This is a company that operates several distinct DBAs under one large corporate umbrella. Does someone who just oversees a department in one DBA actually make this kind of call? Seems like it should come from someone above them.
Quoting Bible scriptures
While I'm sure it's legal 😒, it's tasteless.
There is SO much more, but these are the main sticking point right now. All of this just feels WRONG, but is it LEGAL? Either way, is there any recourse?

Hey everyone,
I wanted to share a simple yet effective Bible study method called SOAP that I've found really helpful in my own spiritual growth. SOAP stands for Scripture, Observation, Application, and Prayer, and it's a structured way to dive deep into the Word of God.
Here's how you can use the SOAP method:

1. Scripture (S): Choose a passage of Scripture to read. It could be a single verse, a chapter, or even a whole book, depending on your preference and time availability. Write down the passage you've chosen.
2. Observation (O): Reflect on what you've read. What does the passage say? What is its main message or theme? Are there any words or phrases that stand out to you? Write down your observations.
3. Application (A): Consider how the passage applies to your life. What is God saying to you through this Scripture? How can you apply its message to your thoughts, actions, or relationships? Write down how you plan to apply what you've learned.
4. Prayer (P): Close your study with prayer. Thank God for His Word and ask Him to help you live out what you've learned. Pray for guidance, strength, and wisdom to apply the Scripture to your life.

Example:
Scripture (S): Psalm 23:1-4 (NIV) "The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake. Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me."
Observation (O): This passage portrays God as a caring shepherd who provides for and protects His people. It speaks of His guidance, provision, and comfort, even in difficult times. The imagery of green pastures and quiet waters evokes a sense of peace and rest in God's presence.
Application (A): I can trust God to provide for all my needs and lead me in the right direction. Even when I face challenges or uncertainties, I can have faith that God is with me, comforting and guiding me. This reminds me to rely on God's strength and not my own understanding.
Prayer (P): Dear God, thank you for being my shepherd and caring for me. Help me to trust you more and follow your guidance in my life. When I face difficult times, may I remember that you are with me, comforting and protecting me. Amen.
Feel free to adapt this template to fit your own study or explore different passages of Scripture using the SOAP method!
By following the SOAP method, you can deepen your understanding of Scripture, grow closer to God, and experience transformation in your life. I encourage you to give it a try and see how God speaks to you through His Word. If you have any questions or want to share your SOAP study, feel free to do so in the comments below.
Happy studying!

Introduction
Someone reading this book may wonder what sort of audience is being targeted here. They may also be confused as to what the endgame is behind such a book. The aim of this book is to parallel the different religious & mystic traditions & connect them to the tropes that we find near death experiences propagate. They often are reconnecting us with what ancient texts have said but in the modern secular world where materialism is the norm we have become numb to the meanings & impact behind such text. These texts are often considered archaic & primitive. Unable to contribute much to the modern world they may only be useful in prayer chants.
Thus I aim here to revitalise the spirit of these traditions and connect them to what many call the modern day scriptures. The study of near death experiences, neuroscience, consciousness & other paranormal phenomena.
The endgame of the mystic is to connect, achieve union, knowledge and self growth. Thus by approaching all these texts and the various evolving thought that emerged from it, we can explore the parallels and connections that bridge the gap between traditions. The beauty of mysticism and perennial philosophy is the freedom it offers in interpretation.
This book doesn't focus on the question of whether scriptures are divinely inspired, man made tools written for sociological and political agendas or some sort of corrupted divinity. That discussion is a debate that will never end. Rather the focus here is on the possible wisdom & theological beliefs which parallel and mesh together well in forming a higher meaning & connection to the divine. Whether it be a higher power, an all pervading source or a metaphysical truth. You aren’t required to literally believe the divinity of these texts. A simple level of curiosity & intrigue is sufficient.
However one may contend that it is easy to parallel traditions when they are in harmony but when they differ they directly contradict rendering these connections meaningless and superficial. Therein lies the limitations of this book. Therefore the following concepts won’t be discussed in here. These are mainly :

• Unverifiable supernatural claims such as ancient miracles for instance Moses parting the sea, Jesus walking on water, resurrecting etc. For someone expecting this book to be a source of evidence for a specific religion it unfortunately won’t be. However there are multiple correlations and connections and these may act as subtle signs of evidence for a specific faith or multiple of them.
  
• Reconciling contradictions between belief systems and scriptures. For example whether the Divine is a trinity or a unity. Whether a certain sage was superior to another. For instance comparing the personality of Jesus with Muhammad, whether the Bible is morally perfect or not & a plethora of other beliefs that may not agree with one another. The book simply assumes they all are imperfect systems.
  
• The scientific debate on whether NDEs are classified as hallucinations or genuine supernatural occurrences. Whilst an interesting topic in itself, it is out of the scope of this book with many other books discussing the science behind ndes. However when necessary nde claims will be contrasted with naturalistic explanations.
  

The primary focus is in following a don't throw the baby out with the bathwater approach. Some may also contend that this book follows a shopping cart style of cherrypicking from texts and discarding beliefs from texts one subjectively finds inappropriate. To this I would simply say that the approach here is one of finding the parallels that align well together and acknowledging when a belief doesn't align well. Not necessarily a pick and choose system. An approach I would call the rational mystic.
The rational mystic is one who is simply open to what may be beyond their senses. They may be mystically inclined, fascinated and open to the plethora of supernatural ideas. However they will not blindly believe any and all beliefs. They will discern using rational faculties what of mysticism is most compatible with reality, what the data or evidence shows & what is more probable than not. I believe people of all beliefs or no beliefs can fit this definition. Whether you identify by a religion, as spiritual but not religious, non religious, atheist, deist or agnostic. Thus a skeptic or believer may able to gain an appreciation for these belief systems.
This book dives into the verses and parallels of ancient texts such as the Old Testament, Gospels, Quran, Hadith, Bhagwad Gita, Dhammapada, Tao Te Ching & Gathas of Zoroaster. Other older parallels such as from Vedic India, Ancient Egypt, Greece & Mesopotamia may be referenced.
Alongside that are the testimonies of NDEs and how they may parallel or differ to these texts. This book also attempts to provide commentary on major philosophical themes & elaborate on various exegesis, mystical traditions such as Kaballah, Sufism, Advaita Vedanta, Neoplatonism & Chinese thought. Since mysticism is ultimately about experience it relevant and useful to enhance these discussions by contrasts to various scientific ideas, philosophy & pop culture.
NDE Filter Methodology
One of the problems with ndes is the fact that they are subjective experiences which we cannot objectively verify or replicate. This makes them a weaker form of evidence compared to empirical studies which can replicate the results. These present a challenge. An individual nde may therefore be subject to embellishment, fabrications & delusions. Therefore in picking our choice of NDEs here we can only look at ndes as a whole in terms of statistical patterns that form. This is the methodology used in NDE literature by various academics including neuroscientists & philosophers researching the phenomenon.
To elaborate we therefore will discard testimonies that appear embellished with fantastical details. These fantastical details may also be subjective from person to person. Calling an otherworldly journey fantastical is simply irony. However in following the certain patterns that appear cross culturally in ndes it is much easier to identify reports that are considered fantastical. The following tropes appear the most across multiple nde studies.

• Out of Body Experience
• Tunnel of Light
• Meeting deceased relatives or unknown beings
• Perceiving a highly luminous pervading light
• Feelings of absolute peace, comfort & love
• Arriving at an otherworldly place ie a meadow, garden etc.
• Life Review
• Border of no return
• Pluralistic message about love & wisdom

There are of course other concepts that ndes reference which appear from time to time. These allow ndes to be flexible and not rigid experiences. After all no two nde experiences are the same. However using these motifs listed we can filter through unreliable ndes. These include

• NDE reports that are highly coloured with religious fundamentalist tropes particularly tropes promoting an exclusivist attitude to religion.
• NDEs that appear too detailed, fantastical & unrestricted appearing more like a science fiction or fantasy novel. For example nde claims of multiple lives on other planets or large scale prophecies & apocalyptic predictions & generally things that differ wildly from the core themes
• NDEs that talk too much about one specific spiritual concept, portraying themselves as special, prophets or mediums turning their nde into a narcissistic or monetary agenda through spiritual coaching, multiple books etc.

Finally one may say that the chapters of this book attempt to hint at the veracity of a religion & this book is a subtle attempt to proselytize that faith. I will reiterate that this book isnt trying to prove any specific religion. There may be subtle signs from one faith that fit better with the nde phenomenon than others. The following theories I would say explain these subtle signs. I leave it up to the reader to decide what they feel is the best explanation.

• Universal Divine Theory : This is the idea that prophets, mystics & sages from different cultures have been inspired through revelation from the same source & this explains the shared insights of a religion & ndes.
  
• Mystic Wisdom Theory : This simply means that certain religious writers and founders were simply wise spiritual men, mystically inclined honing on their intuition & knowledge.
  
• Intertextuality Theory : Each new religious founder simply built of older religious ideas assimilating it into their theologies.
  

Whilst these theories may suggest a subtle spark of corresponding truths, generally NDEs dont explicitly point to any religion. Some say its simply the case that a Christian will see Jesus, a Muslim will see Allah, A Jew sees Yahweh & a Hindu sees Krishna. This of course is not entirely true. The portion of ndes that claim to see Jesus form a minority & interestingly they too dont point at specific doctrines. NDE experiencers may simply describe a sentient light they perceive to be God. This being doesnt tell anybody that I am Yahweh or Allah. Experiencers will say that religious texts fall short of describing this being. It is beyond what people are taught in religion.
Those who are familiar with NDE reports and studies will know that NDEs tend to be very religion agnostic and at best subtly imply a religious correlation but rarely do we find massive amounts of nde reports cross culturally presenting exclusivist dogmas such as follow holy book x or you will burn, believe Jesus died for your sin or you will burn for eternity. When an nde does present this its seen as a red flag since this doesn't occur with the majority of other ndes. The most we have are subtle religious correlations. However NDEs do present us with certain philosophical dilemmas when it comes to religion.

• If NDEs are vague about religion how are we to interpret these religions ? Are we to see them as man made socio-cultural constructs ? Are we to see them as inspired by God but limited to their time ? Are we to see them as partially divine partially man made scriptures ?
  
• If NDEs prove that religions are man made we must ask what purpose the creator has behind the nde. If the creator has allowed man made cultures to negatively influence and control the world throughout history and has not intervened or communicated with humanity one must wonder what point there is in a nde being a message in the 21st century. So on one hand the NDE presents us with a deistic God who doesnt intervene and let false religions begin and on the other hand the God of the NDE seems very personal, involved in human lives, keeps tracks, feels love and joy for humans etc
  
• If one, many or all religions are truly divinely inspired why do NDES never directly point to this ? NDEs seem more concerned in lessons but not in pointing people to a religion.
  

Some may ask what difference does it make that it doesnt point to a religion. if anything NDEs show us that God is far beyond the narrow confines of religions. It makes an immense difference when we factor the fact that religions have influenced entire cultures and civilisations in good and bad ways. Religions have been used to wage war, cause destruction, control the masses, brainwash, confuse and build fear into the human subconscious. And on the good side religions have given hope to the world that suffering isnt in vain, that life has meaning & that justice and ultimate happiness exists.
For alot of people the need to connect to the transcendental is insatiable and religion provides a whole structure of beliefs that one can organise themselves on. For some this is very restricting and enforces a cultural dogma on to everyone. They may prefer a shopping cart version of religion where they take whats good for them and discard what they disagree on. For others they prefer to deny all religious concepts as dogma and cultural beliefs. One could argue that humans need the cultural clothing of customs and traditions to keep their lives going, something which they can use to relate with to the divine. Not everyone can believe in an abstract deity that they cannot conceive of in the absence of symbols such as scriptures.
Religious texts provide at the very least a gateway to which one can relate through stories of heroes, morals and metaphors of the divine. Of course none of this leads us to whether said divine being has revealed these texts, whether they are inspired but corrupted by man or fully man made. These symbols act as aids in feeling like we have a piece of the divine soul with us thus giving comfort and hope. Thus whilst some have no need for religions, for the masses religions have immense value.
So why dont NDEs prove religion ?
There are no clear answers to this (unless somebody has an nde and asks whoever they speak with to tell them in specifics what religion is from God and whats not) all we can do is speculate. The ndes that do ask or do mention a scripture are so few that we cannot form any conclusion on this.

• The simplest answer is that all religions are man made for good or bad intentions but this would of course lead us to the philosophical deist dilemma.
• Perhaps the NDEs message focuses on the lessons and ideals itself and sees scriptures and religions as redundant (even if there is a divine hand behind some) After all these are mainly symbols and cannot compare to a direct mystical experience (something fundamentalists struggle with)
• Perhaps an attempt to promote any specific faith would lead to an assumption that the nde message is about exclusivist salvation and leading to the worship of scriptures/religions (something fundamentalists struggle with)
• Perhaps this proves that religions are limited to their century and context and that we should only look to them for the universal timeless message they offer not the specifics. After all all major scriptures teach the core values that NDEs have revitalised ie love, mercy, kindness etc

Do NDEs support materialism or not ?
While the aim of this book isnt to debate the afterlife or brain hypothesis, I will say that at the time of this being written, my view on ndes is to say that I consider them a plausible source of evidence towards consciousness surviving death & the afterlife existing. This view of mine may change in time towards either side. The following are some reasons I would argue for them being plausible.
1 Veridical NDEs : Numerous NDES report out of body experiences including witnessing of events in an environment when this should not be possible. More than 100+ veridical cases have been documented. Not to mention veridical cases from across different countries which further strengthens the case. We would have to be radically skeptical to consider all of these testimonies fabricated.
2 Lucid narrative : NDERS experience a highly lucid narrative that usually doesn't end in the middle or chaotically unlike dreams or hallucinations. Their ndes tend to be structured with a beginning, middle and end where they are either told, know or are sucked back into the body. This is quite a strange experience compared to delirium, delusions, hallucinations etc.
3 Deceased Relatives : Most NDES claim to see deceased relatives rather than alive people supporting the afterlife hypothesis. We should expect a mixed cocktail of alive & deceased people appearing in ndes if this was a case of dreams or hallucinations. The population that do claim to see a mixed group of alive and deceased is quite a small proportion of total ndes.
4 Intuitive Reality : NDERS are very convinced that they are in a hyper real reality that makes this world seem black and white, like a dream/illusion as some would say. They are intuitively convinced they are in something real the way we might be talking in person, as opposed to it being just a dream. In one study its believed that nders brain recollect their nde as if it's a real world memory.
5 ESP claims : NDERS may perceive no time at all, may experience a life review such that they can feel the feelings of others and recall memories long forgotten. They may feel like they intuitively know things without needing to learn. Some may report greater vision and detail than waking life, ability to hear thoughts, instantaneously appear, be in two places at once or pass through solid walls.
5 Religious Expectations : NDES often may contradict the beliefs of many Christians, Atheists and Muslims who have varying beliefs about the afterlife. Some may be surprised to experience the things they see & are particularly surprised at the ESP abilities as these are not predicted by religions. Particularly interesting are religious conservative ndes with more exclusivist beliefs who are surprised and end up becoming more pluralist and liberal.
6 Clinical Death Scenario : The best NDE studies focus on scenarios whereby the person undergoes cardiac arrest and thus clinical death. At this time a person has no heartbeat, no breathing, dilated pupils, no light reflex, no gag reflex and EEG reading of little to no brain activity. This is consistent with unconsciousness as no blood and oxygen can fully reach the brain. Furthermore the fact that most undergoing clinical death dont report any experiences means NDEs are odd occurrences & consciousness should not occur.
7 Transformation : NDERS often are transformed in their beliefs with less to no fear of death, detachment from the material, more interest in altruism and spirituality and are impacted by their NDE for decades, remembering it far more than a hallucination or dream. They see it as the most important experience of their life.
8 Double edged sword : The fact that not everyone has an nde may support the idea of nde being more than brain activity. After all if the nde simply was some evolutionary dying mechanism we would expect everybody to have one. This point could also support naturalistic hypothesis (See below)
However there is still uncertainty regarding the nde phenomenon and further data, & studies are required to build a case that is greater than just plausible. These are some opposing reasons to consider doubt in them valid
1 Embellishment : NDEs are unverifiable and therefore we cannot verify which ndes are authentic or which ndes are embellished over time with the nders own thoughts, interpretations or exaggerations. This makes it easier for fabrications and frauds to claim an nde experience.
2 Brain Activity : Since NDES happen during clinical death or unconscious states where a persons brain can be returned to living we cannot be sure that there isnt some deeper brain activity that causes an nde. We also cant be sure than an nde isnt happening in the window where cerebral blood flow hasnt ceased or in the window where CPR leads back to cerebral blood flow. EEG machines also have certain limitations such that they cannot detect deeper brain regions due to the skulls electrical resistance. EEG spikes may occur due to muscle twitches & electrical noise which can often make it harder to differentiate whether this is due to the NDE or not.
3 Cultural/Religious Contradictions : If we keep an open mind, its entirely possible that a Western nde could see Jesus, an Indian nde see Buddha or an Indian nde see Jesus & a Western nde see Buddha. It seems this can be reconciled by the idea that ndes are customized to fit what comforts people subconsciously. Japanese NDEs for example see a bridge/river symbolizing journey to another world, Westerners a portal/tunnel. Westerners relate best to Jesus, Easterners to other figures. However some ndes provide conflicting metaphysical views. This can be an issue with some ndes if nde 1 says they were told to keep reincarnating until they reach nirvana, nde 2 says something more fitting to abrahamic faith. nde 3 says hell doesnt exist and nde 4 says they saw hell realms.
4 Double edged Sword : This point can be argued for ndes (See above) but also against ndes. Only a small percentage 10-20% of those under cardiac arrest are said to have experienced an nde. This point leaves questions as to why aren't all people experiencing an nde. Should we not expect a larger proportion say more than half of people to experience an nde ? If there is a realm beyond the material should we not expect every person to experience an nde. A low proportion may mean that the nde is some sort of brain anomaly. We only have speculations as to why all dont get an nde.
5 Future Science : Current materialistic explanations may be inadequate to explain ndes but this doesnt mean that future understanding of the brain may not yield a new theory/explanation that explains it away. Thus it remains a potential argument.
All of these points are worthy discussions on their own and can be found in various other valuable books. The above points are simply a valuable framework by which the reader may be able to take away what they value out of this book. Everything written is simply my own research into the subject & I always advise people to take it with a grain of salt unless it makes rational sense to you & appeals to your intuition.
Diving into the depths
Spirituality & mysticism can be thought of as two sides of the same coin with philosophy the ring that runs the circumference of the coin. While spirituality deals with the human aspects such as soul, spirit, ego, morality & purpose, mysticism deals with the divine aspects of things such as essences, attributes, metaphors, realities, realms, entities, space, time, substances etc. We aim to dive into the following themes in this book.
The Divine Source : Everything relevant to defining the higher power & source of existence including essences & attributes.

Consciousness & Spirit : Everything relevant to the nature of consciousness, qualia, perceptions, the spirit & soul.
Reality : Everything relevant to the nature of perception, illusion, concepts, space, time, substances, modes, forms & realities.
Spirituality & Purpose : Everything relevant to the nature of human meaning, objectives, purpose & suffering.
Morality : Everything relevant to values, ideals, ethics & morals.
Knowledge & Truth : Everything relevant to the nature of seeking truth, seeking knowledge & attaining wisdom. These include concepts such as beliefs, truths, axioms, speculations, nature of inspirations & revelations.
Awakening & Dark night of Soul : Everything relevant to the nature of materialism, spiritual awakening, seeking inner peace, anxieties, depression, remorse, angst & layers of the psyche.
Divine Sorrow : Everything relevant to the nature of the eschatological souls corruption, redemption, purification, punishment, divine justice & mercy including modes & forms.
Divine Bliss : Everything relevant to the nature of the souls destiny, ultimate peace, happiness, bliss & divine love including modes & forms.

I'm looking for something similar to enduring word. I am someone who has been in and out of the church my whole life but I am just now at 30 sitting down to actually STUDY the Bible and understand what it means. I have never actually done that before.
I've been using enduring word for the last week and it's very helpful at times but I kind of don't like how the author inserts their (kinda charged tbh) opinions on the world today. I'm just trying to study scripture.
I'd prefer it to be an online tool or website/app and I do not mind paying for something good, but I am also open to book recommendations.
Thank you!

Recently I have been thinking about the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ a lot and about the common Christian argument in its favor, which is that there is no better explanation for the events that occurred after Jesus’ crucifixion as described in the Bible.
Hypotheses such as the “stolen body hypothesis,” the “swoon hypothesis,” the “vision hypothesis,” and the “substitution hypothesis” have all been refuted—the first one by Matthew himself, no less. However, it seems like the “lost body hypothesis” has not received as much attention from apologists.
I am struggling to find any issues with this hypothesis. Unlike some other hypotheses, it does not directly contradict Scripture. In fact, as mentioned in the link above, it would seem to be supported by Matthew 28, which describes an earthquake occurring on the third day. The only possible issue I could think of with this hypothesis is that for the ground to open and to close again would require two earthquakes (or one earthquake and its aftershock), whereas Matthew only describes one (not including the crucifixion earthquake in Mt. 27). However, it could be possible that one of the earthquakes was just not mentioned. Also, this hypothesis does not seem to exclude alternative “natural occurrence” explanations for the disappearance of Jesus’ body besides an earthquake.
How would you refute or otherwise approach this hypothesis?
P.S. In the interest of being upfront and for additional context on where this question is coming from, I was raised Christian but over the years, I have been influenced by Bahá’í theology. The Bahá’í Faith teaches that the resurrection of Jesus was not literal, but symbolizes the rejuvenation of His religion and the disciples’ realization that Christ was eternal. I was just recently thinking about this and was wondering how it can be symbolic when we still have not found Jesus’ body. To my knowledge, the Bahá’í Faith does not endorse any theory that would explain the empty tomb or really discuss the empty tomb at length at all. This question comes from my own research.
I do not consider myself Bahá’í at this time. I still identify as Christian and primarily associate with Christians which is why I have it as my flair. However, I cannot say my beliefs are strictly Nicene. I would like to keep the discussion under this post limited to the question at hand and I only provide this information for additional context.

I have been raised in a Christian household but it wasnt until recently that I started to actually become more active and explore my faith and read the Bible. I have a way to go I think and one way I have felt I’ve gotten closer to God is by helping my dad who is a deacon at our church and a prison minister. Occasionally and especially on holidays he will make plates of food/sandwiches and drive around to hand it out to the homeless, I’ve helped him multiple times and it’s very fulfilling. He knows most of their names and prays with them.
Recently I got into an argument with an uncle who is a very conservative evangelical type (which is perfectly fine and I respect him very much). there were state and city ordinances passed a few years back and kind of reiterated every few months against feeding the homeless, and when discussing it with him I essentially said I disregard them because God calls for us to feed the hungry.
He told me I was twisting scripture and cited Romans 13 1, basically saying that breaking the law is *always* a sin, which I find ridiculous but tbh I’m not very sure and I’m not very familiar with scripture. I’m mostly just going with my feelings, but I don’t know

Possible trigger warning for usual religious anti-trans dogma

TLDR: Had a talk about being trans with my conservative sister, it went bad, and I would like suggestions for articles or non-fiction literature to send to her so she can learn from them. Ones tied to the bible would help (since that's the issue)

Hi there!
So I just had a very hard conversation with my conservative sister. I had come out to her back in November, but haven't really seen her since, so I had no idea how she felt.
Skip forward to not too long ago, and she was in town and I wanted a one-on-one conversation with her to see where she's at.
It went pretty badly. She Evangelical, and believes trans people goes against God and scripture, and while she said she loves me and it's not her place to judge ("it's God's"), that's clearly not loving me in the way I deserve to be loved.
I want to be loved because of who I am, not despite of it.
She said she was open to learning tho (possibly begrudgingly), so could anyone recommend any good articles that explain what it's like to be trans, and that it's okay, and even more so that it's good in the eyes of God?
Normally I wouldn't care to teach any God-toting bigot, but she's my sister, and I would like her in my life if I can, and she seems genuinely wanting to try and learn.
Thank you all!
Big love 💖💖💖

Hi All,
I've recently come across a very interesting topic NDE. A little background about me and my faith. I wasn't really raised in an immediate religious family meaning my mother and father weren't dedicated to religion. However, my Grandfather was a devout catholic and for whatever reason my Father strayed away from that as he grew. So i would attend church with him at times when I was very young. My mom throughout my life must've known the importance and made several attempts at taking me to church consistently, but she never stuck with it likely because as I grew older my interest wasn't there (sadly). I would pray as a child and my faith was strong enough for that, as I grew into my teens with school and all the bad I saw I started thinking How could a god be real that allows such evil to occur here on earth (this from what I know now was complete ignorance in not knowing his word) at any rate this lead me down a path of not necessarily being a non believer but also not being a strong believer for a very, very long time. I didn't know what I believed in but I believed in a higher power. I lived a life of sin (drinking, partying, drugs, judgmental etc) I always thought well if there is a god he'd understand and forgive (how naive). At any rate this was my life, a life without Christ.
An interesting thing occurred not long ago, I came across a recommended video on youtube about a very intense NDE where the person explained meeting Jesus, a life review all of that. Its interesting because I never watched anything closesly related to this on youtube ever. Now I take it as a sign. I researched it, watched more and it eventually led me into more and more religious related content. The thing for me as a very analytical person was I needed something like this to open me up to the reality that there is indeed a god. A lot of interesting research has gone into some of these experiences. John Burke has done substancial research on the topic and draws the parallels from some of these experiences to scripture. A lot of scientists can't explain how some of these people have been clinically dead for hours yet can recall events, conversations that happened when there was no brain activity etc. A lot of these experiences have so many commonalities so much in fact that I have a hard time believing it can be explained by chemicals released by the brain upon death I.E DMT. The psychelic experience is all over the place and never follows a consistent theme. These near Death experiences are not of that.
I am thankful for finding this as it has brought renewed faith to my life. I've accepted Jesus into my life. I've bought a bible and started reading the word (something I never imagined i'd do). I have a lot of work to do in order to make him even a small percentile happy with me, but I feel good knowing that I'm trying.
What brought you to Christianity? What is the Church's thoughts on NDEs? Do we believe that these are experiences our creator has allowed. I don't believe every single experience, but some of them are to real to discount imo. Also, I plan on attending a local church or churches until I find a place that feels like home. Any other tips navigating youtube or podcasts that you feel are good to follow? There's a lot of stuff out there I've had to learn to navigate around people talking to spirit guides and all this new age stuff which is dangerous bc it sounds all good in well to a new follower until you start realizing the differences and that this is not gods word. Anyway, thanks for a space allowing me to get some thoughts off my mind.
