May 24, 2018 · A summary review of Randy Alcorn’s Heaven **** Christians don’t seem to speak about Heaven as much as in the past. There is more interest in establishing the Kingdom of God on earth than in preparing for the afterlife. SLOPPY THINKING When Christians do think about Heaven, they seem disconnected from the Scriptures. According to […]

Eben Alexander earned his M.D. from Duke University Medical School in 1980, where he also did his residency. For fifteen years he worked at Harvard Medical School and Brigham & Women’s Hospital in Boston. In 2008, while living in Lynchburg, Virginia, he was a neurosurgeon at the Focused Ultrasound Surgery Foundation in Charlottesville. On November ...
Eben’s description of his trip to “Heaven” is in no way similar to that given by either Colton Burpo or Don Piper. His first awareness in the afterlife was of a surrounding darkness. He was not aware of having a body. He felt as if he were surrounded by dirty Jell-O. The darkness was almost suffocating. He heard a deep, rhythmic pounding, which sou...
No visit to the afterlife would be complete without some experience of the divine. Alexander’s visit is no exception. At one point in his journey, he claims to have entered an immense void, which was pitch-black and yet brimming over with light. (I know, I’m shaking my head, too.) The light was coming from a brilliant orb that he sensed nearby. He ...
Alexander’s understanding of the reality and purpose of moral evil in our world betrays a very New Age and Eastern view of reality. “Through the Orb, Om told me that there is not one universe but many—in fact, more than I could conceive—but that love lay at the center of them all. Evil was present in all the other universes as well, but only in the...
What you have just read is only a sampling, and a very selective one at that, of the horrible theology and unbiblical worldview promoted by Proof of Heaven. We could analyze his statements about meditation, prayer, universalism, and the soul, but what we have examined is sufficient to show that Dr. Alexander is certainly no Christian believer. His ...
Dr. Eben Alexander claims to have had an experience out of his body in another dimension which is indicative of the actual afterlife that all of us will one day experience. Like Burpo and Piper36Dr. Alexander seems convinced that his experience is real. However, the experience that he is convinced he had and the “Heaven” he describes is nothing lik...
I am forced to conclude that the testimony of Dr. Alexander must be rejected. But on what grounds? I cannot reject his account simply because he is not “one of us” (meaning “evangelical Christian”). I have to reject it because it disagrees with Scripture.39If Scripture is my standard, then Scripture ALONE gives me the truth concerning spiritual rea...
It is entirely possible that Eben Alexander has fabricated the entire experience.41It is possible that he doesn’t actually believe that any of this happened and knows full well that every word he wrote concerning his “experience” was a well-crafted lie. For the record, I do believe that Alexander had some sort of experience and that he is absolutel...
It seems that, given the toxicity of the infection of his brain and spine, and given the medications with which he was treated, that the possibility that this was all a very elaborate and vivid hallucination should at least be on the table. Alexander entertains this as a possibility in Appendix B: Neuroscientific Hypotheses I Considered to Explain ...
This is what I believe happened. Alexander admits that we are spiritual beings. He talks in the book about the mistake of assuming that there is no greater spiritual reality. The Heaven he claims to visit is one populated with spirit beings, one of which he calls his “guardian angel.” Given just the experiences that he has had, he would have to adm...
The Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes states that God has “put eternity into the human heart.” 20 As people crafted in God’s image, we are eternal beings with an innate longing and capacity for eternal life. 21 We were made to live forever.
Jan 1, 2004 · Here is the best reason to read it, quoting from the book: "Satan need not convince us that Heaven doesn't exist. He need only convince us that Heaven is a place of boring, unearthly existence. If we believe that lie, we'll be robbed of our joy and anticipation, we'll set our minds on this life and not the next, and we won't be motivated to share our faith.

Dec 22, 2020 · Christians united in local churches represent heaven. We speak for heaven by our judgments (Matt. 16:19, 18:18). We portray heavenly values. We are what will be adorned and celebrated alongside Jesus Christ at the great marriage supper of the Lamb (Rev 19:6–8). We are the citizens of that heavenly city.
