@kevin-eleven saidYou can accept that God is real and not be saved, not sure what point you are
Wouldn't acceptance be the more mature choice?
trying to make.
-Removed-Yes, you were correct to ask me to be more specific.

-Removed-Although I left a certain prominent faith in my teens after I observed that it seemed to be mostly a form of social control that tried to damage the psyches of the young for the sake of that control, I still kept a "wait and see" attitude regarding the afterlife, and subsequently noticed (especially during my periods of creative activity) that some things seemed to be connected behind the scenes.
The works of Myers and Moody regarding indications that there is an afterlife are of some slight interest.
So I guess time will tell.

For me the most interesting book of Moody's was not about NDE's, but the one about the recollections of survivors who witnessed strange phenomena at the moment of someone else's passing (sorry that I don't remember the title).
@kevin-eleven saidI recall reading a book about that in I be the 70’s but don’t recall the name, before I got saved.
