I was thinking, lets look at this from another perspective. Sometimes questions become clearer when we look at them in a mirror; look at them in reverse. So: "Is God's will unnecessary to enter the Kingdom of Heaven"? Whaaa?

Yes!

I think Lynx in post #3 comes closest to what I have experienced. For me, it is very difficult to know when I am in the presence of a true Christian. They are so focused on me and my wants, needs, and interests they take away all qualities from themselves. They become nearly invisible. When...

Yes

Lately, I have been finding more and more uses for this Meme...

I share your feelings. I also think it is insanity to use a man's death, no matter the worth of his character, to advance your own agenda. He doesn't care squat about Mr. Floyd or his family. Shame on you Joe Biden.

Oh....I hope not!

When I was a kid (more than a few years ago), Halloween was fun and it was not satanic or macabre. We dressed up in all kinds of costumes, a sheet over our heads to be friendly ghost was as extreme as it ever got. There were lots of clowns, a few hobo's, robots, cowboys, and few Indians...

I recommend anyone curious about this phenomenon read Dinesh D'Souza's book Life after Death. Even noted atheist Christopher Hitchens noted the strength of D'Souza's arguments. Well worth the effort!

You have certainly been through the storms, one after another. You have also written a beautiful testimony to God's faithfulness, but also a testimony to your own faith. This is heart warming and encouraging for us. God wants us to bring our pain and sorrows to Him. Life can be incredibly...

...you're hyperopic?

I am guilty of your accusation...

I find it a little amazing that someone who makes sound arguments and good judgements would begin a post with your first sentence. It is just as easy to discount any other doctrine as it is to discount perceived errors in Catholic doctrine. I am not catholic but it breaks my heart to hear...

If you go to church looking for perfection, you need to be perfect yourself.

I believe these are some of the most profound words Paul wrote: 1 Corinthians 7:14 For the unbelieving husband has been sanctified through his wife, and the unbelieving wife has been sanctified through her believing husband Don't evangelize, demonstrate. Keep on demonstrating. Don't quit...

I have learned a very important lesson about this issue; "...you will know them by their fruit."

A great post MaryM, thank you for bringing this issue up in such a thoughtful way. These experiences have been with mankind since our very beginning. This includes not only NDE's but also other experiences that just cannot and never will be explained by our earthly knowledge. Some researchers...

Welcome VicarTimGoodwin, that was a fabulous introduction. We are kindred spirits, I respond to everything you have said! For sure we will hear from each other often.
