Jesus in the Gospels warns us that wrong religious teachings can be recognized by the evils they bring. He says: “Watch out for false prophets. They come to you in sheep’s clothing, but inwardly they are ferocious wolves. By their fruit you will recognize them. Do people pick grapes from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? Likewise, every...

Afterlife studies is a genuine science, which means that it has much to tell us beyond the fact that human minds are eternal.

After two experiences of light in childhood, naturally I was an ardent Christian. Having married a Catholic, I was a Catholic Christian, a Catechism teacher, a Lector, and such a devoted daily reader of the Bible that I have read it cover-to-cover at least a dozen times.

The afterlife evidence and the Gospels agree so closely in so many details – some of them very small details – that we can prove now that Jesus did in fact come to us two thousand years ago with knowledge that could have come only from God. And that is big news! But since... Read More

My journey away from mainstream Christianity and toward following the teachings of Jesus has been lifelong. Having had two experiences of light in childhood, I was always certain that God is real. But Christianity troubled me more and more as I read communications from the dead and came to understand ever more clearly that the... Read More
