Why would they be?

God speaks in very different ways to get our attention.

Ive done lots of research and i cant decide wether or not ndes are satanic deceptions

And you haven't applied what Jesus said to them.
' Even if someone rose from the dead they would not believe.' Yes it is in a parable but the truth in this statement can be seen by asking your known atheist/agnostics what they think of Jesus's resurection. It happened, but they don't believe it.
As the parable says, if they will not believe the bible they won't believe in a resurection or in dne.

If you have taken your last breath you are dead. If you have not taken your last breath you are not dead.

So how exactly do you define "near" death?

Please help me

I'll be blunt, forget about nde, trash your research etc and start looking into the life, death, burrial and resurection of Jesus.

Here we have something that NO other religion has.
The God of that religeon becoming man living amung us, being exceuted for no crime and after burial rising to life.

Why, because we all have broken Gods laws.
When did you love God with All your Mind, Soul and Body?
If you haven't done that from birth you have broken his law. All that is deserved is judgement and condemnation BUT Jesus the Godman took all your sin, all my sin and paid the penalty that they deserved.
He offeres you Forgiveness. His Rightousness ans a place in heaven. In exchange for your saying I am truely sorry, I want to change, I want to accept you as my Lord and Saviour.

Tjat is the best advice, the best help anyone can offer you.

A near death experience isn’t a death experience. The dead know nothing at all.

A brain in the process of being deprived of oxygen will, apparently, imagine many things. That doesn’t mean that what it imagines is true, but neither does it mean that what it imagines is satanic.

What scripture says about life and death is infinitely more important than what an oxygen deprived brain may think about it.

My old mentor, pastor Arnold murray. Decades ago. Was at bed of Christian, ready to die. He witnessed Christian very briefly talking to someone. Loved ones who passed on before, come to escort Christian people to kingdom of God.

Give documentation.
Jesus gave analogy of Richman and Lazarus.

There are Two sides of the gulf.
Saints go to paradise.
Wicked and spirtualty dead go to sheol. It's holding place for the spirtualty dead or wicked until judgement day.

A angel escorted Lazarus to bosom of Abraham. Get the picture.

I hope this helps you.

I can never forget what I experienced, when I had to have an emergency section....apparently I was haemorrhage badly, it was an emergency to get blood into me, my doctor at the time, advised me never to have another baby.

Anyway...I remember I was going down this black tunnel, with what I believed were people, all dressed in black, with very high pitched voices, either side of me, discussing with each other, that it wasn’t my time....I was not a believer at the time, I had no faith to believe in God....yet, as a non believer at that time....I believe God wasn’t ready for me......4 yrs after that memory that has never left...I became Born Again.

Of course this is all of my opinion..not biblical....of course it could have been the effects of the anaesthetic....who knows...

I’m still here today....and never had another baby after that experience...we both nearly lost our lives....
