A friend of mine was dead for 4 mins

He woke up 3 days today from a coma. He wrote this a week before he went down.
"Follow Christ.
The world will consider you a fool.But consider for a moment what the world exalts.
They praise the decadent and loath the humble, they lift up those who make a name for themselves while casting aside the beauty in honoring others. They seek happiness for themselves at the expense of others and cry out only when it is they who are suffering. They demean thugs and strippers but shame fatherhood and modesty.
They call religion hypocritical but have no standard to give their judgement. They are for abolishing poverty as long as its someone else's money. They love things but hate the people who make them. They want security but despise the authority that provides it. -
They hate God but want his blessings. What about this world gives me any reason to care if it thinks me a fool. For In Christ I have found the wisdom of God. For in Him we have hope because we are made new. No longer do we love evil but delight in doing good. No longer do have value in things that by their nature are dependent on another. No longer do we plunge down wells that have a bottom and eventually run out of water. No longer do we seek that which cannot satisfy, nor that which brings death. But we have found the author of life. The spring of joy.

Now we truly love one another. We serve one another because we LOVE it. Its like a billion stars lit in our souls and the only way we aren't burnt up is to let the light shine through the cracks of our crushed egos. And we smile. Because we realize that we are nothing and all this is a gift. As undeserving as we are, yet still He gives Himself to us. It really doesn't matter what we think or how much we protest it is ours by His grace and mercy. There is nothing we can do about it. Only sing in the deepest places of our hearts and worship in joyful obedience as His Spirit transforms our spirit till we become like Him. Not from our efforts or drivenness our works or our strength, but from simply abiding in His love and His word and with His

Where two or more are gathered together, there will I be.

It's amazing. I'm here in the hospital watching him play his
Guitar while others cracking up and having a good time. I seen him on saturday night a min after he went down watching my good friend die. It's such a blessing to see him fully functional with a minor memory loss. -
Thanks be to God

I'm a little confused. So he wrote this and a week later he was dead for 4 minutes and then slipped into coma for 3 days and them just woke up an you watched him play guitar? I'm confused about the timeline.
In either case, I'm not religious at all but this is absolute beautiful and your friend is/was brilliant.

I went to a bday party, a min before I arrived he was all ready passed out. Paramedics said he was literally dead for 4 mins. The paramedics nursed him back to life. Went to the hospital induced in a coma cooling and regulation. After three days he opened his eyes and wanted water. Today currently he was at full health playing with his guitar. Sorry I was hanging out with everyone while wanting to share.I'm a little confused.

Could say was "Lord please keep him here, keep him here, his time is not now, not now" - God has also brought many different people from all
Around even other Churches to come together in love for one another. It was truly a beautiful cause -
Lol I feel sorry for doctors they save lives and people thank God and not them, my friend died we don't know how long he was dead for his roommate came home and found him, paramedics and doctors managed to bring him back, I don't think that's the work of god that's the work of science. I died once on the operating table once again brought back by doctors, think of it this was before doctors it was a miracle for people to live past 45.

When I got my leg removed I bought the nurses two tins of celebrations to share. And the Doctor who actually suggested the operation and did it, I got him some 20 year old port and a box of celebrations. I made sure to thank them! And I'm jabbering on :LAugustine, the point is, I hope you thanked the doctors and nurses too!

Get this religious crap off the forums. This isn't a church

Reasons we call religious people hypocritical
1) they say killing is wrong but have started more wars and attempted more genocide than anyone else
2) they preach that one should be charitable yet their church is one of the richest institutions on the planet and being a preacher is one of the lucrative positions one can aspire to
3) they condemn things like homosexuality yet their priests engage in child molestation
I'll think of more later

Why does this anger you so much? It's someone's perspective and way of coping. That this, a moment he wanted to share, bothers you so much is quite concerning in all honesty. This is general discussion -- meant for anything. You can post your anti religious crap and others can post what might have inspired them. Don't read it if you don't like it. Seriously living up to the dramabot name today.Get this religious crap off the forums. This isn't a church
Glad your friends back, Augustine, no matter the source.

They must have been either Jesus or a zombie to come back from the dead. Also, fuck you. You are a bitch, and will do nothing about it. Fuck off.

Saying thanks be to god is spiritual not religious. Can you tell what religion I am to a 100% certainty based on that statement?Get this religious crap off the forums. This isn't a church
Do you see the irony in taking the time to read and comment on a post that shouldn't be here? It sure sounds like you were the one who doesnt need to be here, because it bothers you. Thanking God and doctors and nurses are not mutually exclusive.
I'm glad your friend is well Augustine Abe. Thanks be to God.
