NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCES AND AFTERLIFE STORIES
The stories of those who flat lined during illness or accident and left their bodies bear witness to the unconditional love of God and encounters with angels and Jesus which present very differently from their portrayal in religion. The Afterlife also is not as terrifying as presented in religious imagery.
