David, God bless you with peace in this time of loss. I'm sure Roland is having a blast in the next life and waits eagerly for the day you and him will be reunited again. Blessings.
As one who has studied NDEs for over 3 decades and one who fancies himself a follower of the Anointed One Jesus, I can say with 97% certainty that our beloved pets will greet us in Heaven someday. God’s love is manifest in all intelligence and relationships. If it’s any small consolation; you will be reunited with Roland someday. As you know Robert, God loves Roland with an infinite love too.
NDE ‘ s … as a nurse I heard my post cardiac arrest patient tell me “ I didn’t want to come back ! I saw my deceased brother- he was not old… but maybe 30 ish. From those moments in the late 1970’s… that was not understood…” it was real there !” More real than here. In 2006 , I began my study of NDE’s. I listened to podcasts, read books. “ I was told I had to return to earth to finish my work… agreement… the love I felt was perfect and enormous and not human love. Many come back with gifts. Still fascinates me. Jesus fascinates me more. All will be well, and all matter of things will be well…JNorich Apokatastasis !
Always learning more - Thank You 💙DBH. Prayers for your Spirit & For Roland 💙🙏 Have a feeling that Roland is Happy in Heaven, Hoping and Wishing that Nothing is Ever Lost By God's Magnificent and Wonderful Grace - Amen. Peace & Blessings My Friend :) No Apologies Necessary
David, I have read most of your books (including lots of articles) and they have been fundamental for my faith. I'm looking forward to reading this in black-and-white. As far as I am concerned these texts are meant to be read silently. My short-term-memory is a very short-time-memory and tends to exclude already the beginning of a long sentence. In the meantime I will listen to this some more times just as the written text has to be read repeatedly.
I can identify and empathise with you regarding the cognitive impediment of short-term memory . Like you also , DBH's addresses and treatises have reinforced the intellectual underpinning of my faith , but likewise often I too need to review what was expressed previously for a coherent understanding of a particular point or topic .
"Whereof one cannot speak, one must remain silent." Thus, in terms of theological knowing anyway, I am neither of Paul nor Apollo, but of Wittgenstein.
@@leavesinthewind7441 They’re sneaking ads onto videos without the creator’s permission, David. This has happened to a few channels I’m subscribed to. There maybe something in the creator’s studio that you have to switch, or maybe contact RU-vid, I’m not sure.
As I rewatch part of this, I wonder, not being an expert in this area, what you think of Apollinarian incarnational theories. I remember years ago, Bill Craig got a lot of crap for adopting what he said was Apollinarian view of the incarnation. But what he was trying to do was to show that the Son, or at least the rational/cognitive aspect of the Son, was the same sort of thing as the human soul, and so, when paired with a human body, completed human nature easily. I have always thought it was strange for Craig, an evangelical, to be open to such a view. But I find it compelling in its broad contours.
[From DBH’s guest editor]: Dr. Hart asked me to say that he regards Craig’s view as somewhat absurd, and that it is absolutely the opposite of what he regards as a coherent Christology. The lectures to follow should make it clear why he says that.
