Haven't read this article yet but
Just a twist I bounced off my friend today regarding this while examining the rapture article.
When we die were DEAD right? Not concious of time whatsoever?
DEAD.....time passes...... resurrection? Will you experience a time lapse?
My opinion, if we are no longer subject to time once we are dead, is it feasible based upon the scripture "a day is as a thousand years and visa versa in the eyes of our Lord" we would not be "transported in time to the resurrection" and not experience a "time lapse"?
The reason I ask, there have been too many testimonies of near death experiences where people experience either Heaven or Hell, something else is the "out-of-body"(OOB) experience.
I have experienced the latter (OOB) in my teens before I was saved, was frightening!
All this is hypothetical.
My dad passed away 17 months ago and I was in the bedroom he died minutes after his passing. I experienced an overwhelming sense of a supernatural presence I had never had before. Later my then pastor said it was angels that came to "fetch" my father. Whether this is rational reason or not, the experience I had was real. My dad was a Christian for over 60 years.
It will be interesting to read other views on this as this is one of Ray's writings I am trying to come to grips with.
Luv to all
