Question #7: What about out-of-body experiences?

7. What about out-of-body experiences?

I don’t know if the Bible really addresses this, but in my humble opinion, I’d be pretty skeptical about these stories. I think when someone is near death, their brain can do some pretty tricky things, and I think they’re more likely hallucinatory than spiritual in nature. Naturally, God does have the power to raise someone from the dead, and there were a few examples in the Gospels of Jesus raising some that had passed away (e.g. Matt. 9; John 11). But it doesn’t say what they saw while they were dead. The Bible tells us what we need to know about the afterlife--and we’re better off getting our truth from that Source rather than sensational or dubious stories. In short, I am 100% sure of the spiritual reality of heaven and hell, but I am very skeptical when it comes to out-of-body experiences. (Heb. 9:27)
