(c)2005 This street is literally a dead end! hehe But seriously, no one's really dead. 1 Corinth. "...so to be absent from the flesh is to be present with the Lord". Both before anyone is born, and after the death of the flesh. Hence the universal near death experiences are all nearly similar,...bright light, feelings of love, and a departed loved one meeting you. Isn't God wonderful how He tries to make the transition from this earth to heaven a comfortable one,...after the death of the flesh.
