My NDE was not religious but there was a God in it and there was a figure who I would say was a pre-Jesus(beyond time) e was an orb of light...
His name in heaven wasn't even Jesus... It was bigger than that...It wasn't God even though the Godlike being I met in heaven wasn't real comfortable with that name either...He/She was bigger than that.... Love is a more descriptive word than God...loving kindness is closer to the name but it is bigger than that... In any case, there really were streets of Gold in heaven... When I returned to my body, I found religion repulsive but still reading scripture from the Torah and New Testament had wonderful reminders of the God I met in heaven and the type of Jesus I met there as well. Whatever symbols or words God is on the other side....I am certain that whatever we call God he/she/it is unconditional love and forgiveness...loving kindness... Somehow whatever there is in this world...love finishes the story and the absence of love ends....
