tate4242 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Are Roman Catholics willing to discuss greater cooperation with your Latter day Saint brothers and sisters due to your enthusiasm for near death experience accounts? Am I silly to think that these near death experiences are a massive open door, testimony tool that can be used to assist millions and billions of people to rapidly come into a relation ship with Messiah Yeshua - Jesus as their Savior so that they can be baptized and prayed for and be filled with the Holy Spirit? I've read a number of Latter day Saint near death experience accounts and frankly they are so well written that I personally feel incompetent to even attempt to disagree with any major assertion that they have made. For example.... Latter day Saint near death experiencers seem to be show the ability of souls to progress in the afterlife, in Hades, which sure reminds me of your Roman Catholic idea of Purgatory.

tate4242 Posted November 3, 2020 Author Share Posted November 3, 2020 To the degree to which this idea is incorrect, my apologies in advance, but it sure looks to me like Latter day Saints are perfectly prepared to become part of what Pastor David Wilkerson termed "The Super Church." Although Pastor David Wilkerson was sincere... .and although his visionary dream was from Jesus... I believe that his tendency to fear...... .combined with the fact that the dream was given in 1973 caused his understanding of this dream to be somewhat pessimistic..... somewhat fearful........ and was not as devoid of fear as his understanding could have been IF... PASTOR DAVID WILKERSON himself had been virtually devoid of fear due to his being filled with the Love of the Heavenly Father even for his rivals / enemies, (according to his own definition). ..... "I feel that Latter day Saints, Roman Catholics and a significant percentage of gifted Pentecostals and gifted Charismatics are all set up to be AN IMPORTANT PART OF THE "SUPER CHURCH" that Pastor David Wilkerson saw in his dream from 1973. You Latter day Saints seem to be perfectly prepared to understand ideas like this.......... even if they were a little bit off or imperfect because all near death experiencers are often blown away by what they are shown and they do not know how to explain what they were shown perfectly." https://thirdhour.org/forums/topic/70443-is-a-one-billion-soul-harvest-coming/?tab=comments&fbclid=IwAR3pQ00hISBvDXwD1X719Nhi6UimPg4zmYpum2aPDVvyEm4kK_Z3TWx3-dU#comment-1059260 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We certainly are less shy about talking about the dead - praying for them and asking for prayers from a few saints - than some protestants. I wouldn't say the Catholics I know are particularly enthusiastic about near death experiences compared to other people. In fact, I think we are encouraged not to pay too much attention to reading about other mystical experiences in general save in some exceptional cases. This is because though such experiences may come from God, they may also come from somewhere else less good - and even if from God, they are often intended only for the benefit of the one who witnessed them. If you could clarify by greater cooperation, that would be nice! I firmly believe that the Catholic Church is the "super-church". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
