The world is a strange and fascinating place, but there’s nothing in it Christians should be afraid to explore.
Derek and Sharon Gilbert, authors of the groundbreaking books 'The Gates of Hell,' 'Veneration,' and 'Giants, Gods & Dragons,' dig deep into history, archaeology, and the Bible to explore the Bible's greatest mysteries!
Satan and his demonic minions take every opportunity to deceive us. So how can we tell when a near-death experience (NDE) is real?
Shaun Tabatt, author of The NDE Conspiracy, shares his nine-point list of criteria for determining when an NDE is real and not just an illusion or a vivid dream. He also tells us the difference between an NDE and a shared death experience, how false memories of past lives can draw people into bad theology, and why he calls NDEs “love letters from God.”

Near-Death Experiences
THE SUBJECT of NDEs (Near-Death Experiences) is controversial for Christians who—at least in the West—have been conditioned to avoid talking about the paranormal.
Shaun Tabatt has been researching NDEs for years and his new book, The NDE Conspiracy, confronts the topic from a biblical worldview. He explains how the field of NDE research, which was founded by medical doctors, is now dominated by New Agers, psychics, and mediums, how educated people like the creator of Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, can be drawn into false beliefs by grief and personal trauma, and how Shaun’s research into NDEs helped his late wife, Lynette, prepare for her transition to the afterlife.

Sodom and the Cult of the Dead
Sodom appears to have been the center of an ancient cult that venerated the dead.
Dr. Steven Collins, author of Discovering the City of Sodom, explains that there were an estimated 1,500 dolmens, megalithic monuments to the dead, at the base of Tall el-Hammam, the site of Sodom. This is the tightest cluster of dolmens in the Levant, which is home to the densest concentration of dolmens on Earth.
He also shared that his team was the first to excavate dolmens that had escaped “night diggers,” the archaeologists’ term for tomb raiders and treasure hunters who follow professional digs to hunt for artifacts to sell on the black market. According to Dr. Collins, one of the dolmens they excavated appears to have been in uninterrupted use for the cult of the dead from about 4000 BC down to the time of Sodom’s destruction in the Middle Bronze Age, a period of about 2,300 years!
