Agnostic Engineer's Life RADICALLY Transformed by Near Death Experiences | John Burke

- Before becoming a pastor, best-selling author, and NDE aficionado, agnostic engineer John Burke had little interest in the divine. He’s now returning to Maybe God for a second deep dive into reported glimpses into the afterlife. In his latest book “Imagine The God of Heaven”, John details the shocking evidence that supports these claims (such as blind people reporting accurate descriptions of their late loved ones) and discusses how people from various religious traditions all seem to encounter the same, biblical God. What can their experiences teach us about the His character?

00:00:00 INTRODUCING JOHN BURKE
00:12:29 WHAT IS A NEAR DEATH EXPERIENCE?
00:17:44 VERIFIABLE EXPLANATIONS
00:33:12 IT'S NOT ABOUT CHRISTIANS BEING “RIGHT”
00:35:38 WHICH GOD DO PEOPLE MEET?
00:49:50 GOD'S JOY AND LAUGHTER
01:05:21 PUSHBACK FROM CHRISTIANS
01:19:15 WHAT DOES THIS ALL MEAN?
I was shot, and then all of a sudden I was above my body, and then I was looking at this bright light coming from my left. And then I was awakened getting into the ambulance, a second later I'm out of my body again riding above the ambulance to the hospital. They woke me up again in the ER, and put me under for surgery. And that's all I remembered.
I think some of the comments about the book sales are a bit unfair. This is a good man. I don't get the slightest sliminess. Pure, genuine love and sincerity.
Most Precious Blood of Jesus Christ, save us and the whole world.
Amen glory to the great I am forever and ever
You have a lot of faith in something that failed multiple times to save the whole world (according to your own book, not me)
Its ok for someone to make a living by telling their story. I never discount someone right away just because they have a book or a project. Think for just a minute that he is being truthful. What a wonderful way to make a living. Sharing the best news possible. I’m not saying there are not some that take advantage and aren’t truthful. Just don’t let them tarnish the vast majority of people that aren’t perfect but are sincere.
I’ve re-read imagine heaven a couple times now I’ll have to read imagine the god of heaven. I loved this interview!!
I have to say in love. Is that when you read scripture. As well as have a relationship with the Lord. You know, without a shadow of a doubt. God is the only God the God of the Bible, is it. I mean, how can there be any other if he is the creator of all. Mayvthe Lord open the hearts of man to see that only one God exists and we are worship him and him alone. We need him he created us for his glory.
Just as he says in this interview, Jesus christ Reveals himself even when the person is hindu
The only part of your mind that has reality is the part that links you still with God. Would you have all of it transformed into a radiant message of God's Love, to share with all the lonely ones who have denied Him? God makes this possible. Would you deny His yearning to be known? You yearn for Him, as He for you. This is forever changeless. Accept, then, the immutable. Leave the world of death behind, and return quietly to Heaven. There is nothing of value here, and everything of value there. Listen to the Holy Spirit, and to God through Him. He speaks of you to you. There is no guilt in you, for God is blessed in His Son as the Son is blessed in Him.
Everyone has a special part to play in the Atonement, but the message given to each one is always the same; God's Son is guiltless. Each one teaches the message differently, and learns it differently. Yet until he teaches it and learns it, he will suffer the pain of dim awareness that his true function remains unfulfilled in him. The burden of guilt is heavy, but God would not have you bound by it. His plan for your awaking is as perfect as yours is fallible. You know not what you do, but He Who knows is with you. His gentleness is yours, and all the love you share with God He holds in trust for you. He would teach you nothing except how to be happy.
Blessed Son of a wholly blessing Father, joy was created for you. Who can condemn whom God has blessed? There is nothing in the Mind of God that does not share His shining innocence. Creation is the natural extension of perfect purity. Your only calling here is to devote yourself, with active willingness, to the denial of guilt in all its forms. To accuse is not to understand. The happy learners of the Atonement become the teachers of the innocence that is the right of all that God created. Deny them not what is their due, for you will not withhold it from them alone.
The inheritance of the Kingdom is the right of God's Son, given him in his creation. Do not try to steal it from him, or you will ask for guilt and will experience it. Protect his purity from every thought that would steal it away and keep it from his sight. Bring innocence to light, in answer to the call of the Atonement. Never allow purity to remain hidden, but shine away the heavy veils of guilt within which the Son of God has hidden himself from his own sight.
We are all joined in the Atonement here, and nothing else can unite us in this world. So will the world of separation slip away, and full communication be restored between the Father and the Son. The miracle acknowledges the guiltlessness that must have been denied to produce the need of healing. Do not withhold this glad acknowledgment, for hope of happiness and release from suffering of every kind lie in it. Who is there but wishes to be free of pain? He may not yet have learned how to exchange guilt for innocence, nor realize that only in this exchange can freedom from pain be his. Yet those who have failed to learn need teaching, not attack. To attack those who have need of teaching is to fail to learn from them.
Teachers of innocence, each in his own way, have joined together, taking their part in the unified curriculum of the Atonement. There is no unity of learning goals apart from this. There is no conflict in this curriculum, which has one aim however it is taught. Each effort made on its behalf is offered for the single purpose of release from guilt, to the eternal glory of God and His creation. And every teaching that points to this points straight to Heaven, and the peace of God. There is no pain, no trial, no fear that teaching this can fail to overcome. The power of God Himself supports this teaching, and guarantees its limitless results.
Join your own efforts to the power that cannot fail and must result in peace. No one can be untouched by teaching such as this. You will not see yourself beyond the power of God if you teach only this. You will not be exempt from the effects of this most holy lesson, which seeks but to restore what is the right of God's creation. From everyone whom you accord release from guilt you will inevitably learn your innocence. The circle of Atonement has no end. And you will find ever-increasing confidence in your safe inclusion in the circle with everyone you bring within its safety and its perfect peace.
Peace, then, be unto everyone who becomes a teacher of peace. For peace is the acknowledgment of perfect purity, from which no one is excluded. Within its holy circle is everyone whom God created as His Son. Joy is its unifying attribute, with no one left outside to suffer guilt alone. The power of God draws everyone to its safe embrace of love and union. Stand quietly within this circle, and attract all tortured minds to join with you in the safety of its peace and holiness. Abide with me within it, as a teacher of Atonement, not of guilt.
Blessed are you who teach with me. Our power comes not of us, but of our Father. In guiltlessness we know Him, as He knows us guiltless. I stand within the circle, calling you to peace. Teach peace with me, and stand with me on holy ground. Remember for everyone your Father's power that He has given him. Believe not that you cannot teach His perfect peace. Stand not outside, but join with me within. Fail not the only purpose to which my teaching calls you. Restore to God His Son as He created him, by teaching him his innocence.
The crucifixion had no part in the Atonement. Only the resurrection became my part in it. That is the symbol of the release from guilt by guiltlessness. Whom you perceive as guilty you would crucify. Yet you restore guiltlessness to whomever you see as guiltless. Crucifixion is always the ego's aim. It sees everyone as guilty, and by its condemnation it would kill. The Holy Spirit sees only guiltlessness, and in His gentleness He would release from fear and re-establish the reign of love. The power of love is in His gentleness, which is of God and therefore cannot crucify nor suffer crucifixion. The temple you restore becomes your altar, for it was rebuilt through you. And everything you give to God is yours. Thus He creates, and thus must you restore.
Each one you see you place within the holy circle of Atonement or leave outside, judging him fit for crucifixion or for redemption. If you bring him into the circle of purity, you will rest there with him. If you leave him without, you join him there. Judge not except in quietness which is not of you. Refuse to accept anyone as without the blessing of Atonement, and bring him into it by blessing him. Holiness must be shared, for therein lies everything that makes it holy. Come gladly to the holy circle, and look out in peace on all who think they are outside. Cast no one out, for here is what he seeks along with you. Come, let us join him in the holy place of peace which is for all of us, united as one within the Cause of peace.

I can't imagine how you feel, but I lost my 17 year old son and my father and brother-in-law. I didn't think it could get worse until I lost my only son.

Let’s do everything we can to get closer to Jesus. He is the most adorable God ever. His love for us is just unbeatable and He really enjoys our company.
You answered a question I have had, about why don't people come back knowing what to do to get born again, and you answered it about Pauls experience. We must seek God and be obedient to scripture, we must be born again to enter the kingdom of God.
John 3:3-8
[3]Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
[4]Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
[5]Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
[6]That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
[7]Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be born again.
[8]The wind (spirit) bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit. (The "sound" spoken of here, of the spirit/wind, is speaking in tongues)
Thank you.
This was excellent. Thank you!
Excellent, thanks for the revelation 🙏🏻
❤❤❤ Loved this!
Yeshúa loves you two and all of us. I'm Yitsrael Jai!! Shabbat Shalom!!
Huh! Pastor Eric video gets recommended to me. So cool!!
I love your explination of the black and white 2D and the 3D comparative.
Ive battled with the concept of reincarnation.
To come to the realisation that if we are....then we are a blank canvas everytime
So when we start building our life and awareness in the new body grows again.....
We ask ourselves the exact same questions....have we been here before.
But because the canvas was cleared....its the same US but we just dont know.
Its like when people have hesd trauma and lose memory.
Its like they have to live life from the start again....but in the same body.
Hopefully money goes directly back into ministry , and folks that gave there stories are compensated ..
I think that trinity is the Father (God), the son (us - like Jesus) and the Holy Spirit which is the unique spirit that God communicates to us with, like a pipeline.
Sadly No. Please read the Scriptures...And pray to our Lord Jesus Christ to give you Grace to understand.
God Bless 💖
Also the silver cord is a kind of New Agee concept. It's not in the Bible. So....most likely not true.
God Can do Anything He wants. But He respects our Free Will.
😱 I have no courage to …
* But YES! There is a GOD!
Why would he even mention about that doctor making that weird absurd comment???
What did he say I haven’t watched the whole thing
Its hard to believe people.
Please tell this beautiful author that I'm pretty sure he has a dairy intolerance. His sinuses are dripping down the back of his throat. I am now dairy free (mosty). Maybe if I'm visiting and given something, I will eat it. My sinuses are so much better, I hope he gets this message. XO
You are absolutely sweet and thoughtful, I hope he sees your comment, God bless you and your beautiful family
@mrsellenj.a1740 awww, thank you, you too.
We tend to put God in a box. I view the Bible as Gods word. Very , very important for us to study, be inspired by, uplifted by, seek knowledge from etc but we don't worship the Bible. We worship God thrue Jesus ,anointed , Messiah, son of God and the holy spirit. Here is thesis I have. It may or may not be true but it makes sence to me. For those who have there Theology , Eschatology all worked out from the scriptures. Cemented or if I may use the expression "put in a box" You may not like this Thesis.
When we die. Is it or sins that seperate us from God? Is it our individual sin? Not our friends or neighbours sin. Could it be right that the distance or hell that a person find them selves from God is equal to there sin. Is it reasonable that a person who have committed hainous crimes would recieve the same punishment from God in a hell verses a kind and caring person who didn't recieve Christ. ( True! In Gods eyes no one is good) Wouldn't it be just that the criminal would recieve the consequences/punishment of his crimes in hell and the kind caring person recieve the consequences/punsishment of his sins in hell wich in comparison would be of a lesser degree. Not saying hell is a place anyone want to go and that its not terrible but wouldn't it make sence that the punishment should be just.
I've never had an NDE, but I've seen enough to believe it.
Me too. I believe wholeheartedly. 🙏🏼
Never sorry typo there
Death is the end. I’ve been through both.
lol tell me your experience
Do you have 2 days !
So if it was hallucination the guy he menitons wouldve neber published any findings in a.medical journal
Well i appreciate his story, however when they try to sell their book and make money off their story means we need to be cautious about his story.
That’s personal🤣
Can anyone pray for me and talk to Jesus for me? Ask him if he forgives me and what I should do the rest of my life?? Thanks yall
Pray to him ..say lord Jesus I believe in you and what you did for me on the cross I want you to be my lord and savior and ask for forgiveness of your sins and have faith in him and you will be saved ..he's just waiting for you to turn to him
I said a prayer for you but it's up to you to make the choice to turn to him
@joneslivin1663 thank you , thank you so much. May god bless us both
Is this some kind of joke talk? John 11:43 (UKJV) And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth.
Almost 2000 years ago.
2 Corinthians 12:4 (UKJV) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, (o. rhema) which it is not lawful for a man to utter.
Almost 2000 years ago.
Churches full of unbelief. Churchianity.
The whole bible comes from peoples experiences with the Lord.
Bible worship. Dead words that are read, but not believed.
👏🏻❤️
Biblical Cosmology is one of my studies. The word Earth is how it describes God's creation. Planet is described as a wandering stars. The word globe isn't Biblical. Science is also a word in the Bible but is corrupted. Having God's word to rely on gives me confidence in the truth of where we live and breathe. That to say when you talk about the creation it is more Biblical to use the words God gave us..Earth, Heaven, Hell and the heavenly host's called stars along with those that left the order of God to be called planets. Earth is not a planet Biblically.
In all kindness,so what if the word”globe” is biblical or not? It is a globe anyway. Science as mathematics,physics and chemistry aren’t mentioned in the bible, and they are all solid facts whatever the bible says or not. I personally prefer a doctor than a preacher if I broke a leg.
And by the way,hell is not either in the original hebrew and greek scriptures.
❤️
@@WaldorfStatler science is in Daniel by the way. Planet is a wandering star and the worship was un Godly. Worship of science is an idol.

How does Pastor Burke address those people who come back as non-Christians, but see all of the same sorts of things Christians allegedly see; the bright light, super, overwhelming expressions of acceptance and love, views of vistas outside the gates of heaven, etc., but also talk about pre-incarnate contracts that they wrote for their life experience. They advocate for Reincarnation, everyone allowed to heaven without exception, instructing others to live a good life, including loving others, in order to merit heaven, etc., etc.
I have yet to hear Mr. Burke, explicitly address all of these clearly non-biblical experiences. I understand there will always be counterfeits, but at this point it appears there are more counterfeits than there are verifiably Christian experiences. Wonder why, for the serious Christian, he doesn’t address these troubling testimonies.
Hey there, good questions. I've been looking into ndes myself as of late as a Christian, and I definitely see the points your making. But it's important to note that the devil is very good, I'd say, at disguising himself as an angel of light. Deceiving people into thinking their in a place of paradise, when their actually surrounded by a dome of illusion, as some other nder's call it where they see others in hell deceived while going through their own hell nde.
When people come back from either a heaven or hell nde, and deny Christ, that doesn't mean that He's not up there. That just means that their not ready to accept the truth of the Christian worldview. Bear with me here for a minute and hear me out. Roughly 1 quarter of ndes are hellish, and so when people say that the being of light and love lets everyone into heaven/paradise, whether their religious or not, that makes me suspicious of their experience right off the bat. As we know that's not the case just based alone on the fact that there are so many hellish ndes. So when someone says that they see a being of light that they think isn't Jesus and says that reincarnation is true and everyone makes it in, that pretty much shows me that they were just deceived in a false heaven/paradise experience, where they were actually in hell with demons trying to put on a charade. That would make sense if the Christian worldview is true, with demons/evil spirits in the spiritual realm that hate humans who are created in the image and likeness of God. Desperately trying to deceive us into thinking that everyone goes to heaven, so why even put your trust in Christ?
The bible says in romans 2:4 NLT; Don’t you see how wonderfully kind, tolerant, and patient God is with you? Does this mean nothing to you? Can’t you see that His kindness is intended to turn you from your sin? And luke 6:35 NASB; ...He Himself is kind to ungrateful and evil people. It's no wonder the God of the Bible lets unbelievers see what they are missing, giving them a taste of what He wants them to have, if they would just turn to Him. But He also shows others hell, so that all of us here on earth hearing these stories know that He is also serious about sin, and there must be punishment. Either we're paying the price for straightup disobeying Him, or we're accepting Jesus' righteousness and what He did for us on the cross. If everyone saw hell when they had their nde, I feel like they'd be much less likely to turn to God. But at the same time, knowing that hell is a very real place, if God allowed everyone to see heaven, with very few people seeing hell, then we would all think that theres no punishment for sin, so the creator must be cruel for allowing rape and murder to go unpunished. God has balanced it out just right so we hear testimonies of both heaven with Him, and hell without Him, we choose.
The Bible also says in romans 5:10-11 NASB that; "For if while we [Christians] were enemies we were reconciled to God through the death of His Son, much more, having been reconciled, we shall be saved by His life. 11 And not only this, but we also celebrate in God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have now received the reconciliation." Note that Paul says that while we were enemies, meaning before we accepted Jesus, God had reconciled us to Himself. The whole world is reconciled to God, thats how every Christian, hindu, muslim and atheist are even allowed to stand before the uncreated creator and be shown any sort of kindness, despite what we have done to Him by disobeying His laws. But it's only those who have 'now received the reconciliation' who are able to stay standing before God for all of eternity. It's only those who want to be with Him, who havent rejected His son and what He did on the cross. It's only those who want to have relationship with God who God will spend forever with.
If it's not the Christian God, or any other religious god that's up there, but rather some generic being of light that definitely seems to want to love on us and have a relationship with us and show kindness to us. Then how can we be in that relationship with him here on earth if he hasn't given us, or anyone else before this generation any sort of material here on earth besides the bible to show us how to be in relationship with him, or how to accept him? How has he shown us how to escape this place of hell that people go to? Why do some people who think their 'good' have the hellish nde, whereas some others who are bad people and even reject the idea of a loving God get shown this amazing place with so much love from an intimate creator? It's because the kindness of the biblical God leads those people who experience Him in a near death experience to repentance.
People who come back from a heaven nde and reject the God of the bible, I'm convinced, do it either because they were deceived, or because they have some form of church hurt, or bad experiences from Christians in the past. Maybe they misunderstand certain passages in the bible that arn’t what they think. Let's not blame Jesus in light of some Christians on earth who play Christ poorly.
As for reincarnation, I don't believe that's whats going on, because from what I've seen and heard, alot of people who experience heaven see their loved ones on the other side, alot of which seem very excited to see the nder, people who seem to have been there for a while. If reincarnation were true, then why are there people on the other side at all? Shouldn't they have just come back right away as a new person? Doesn't this God want to lavish His love on us forever? Why would He instead just send us back again and again to the earth?
Just some things to think about. I hope I've helped you on your journey Keto. If you want to talk back and forth with me about this, let me know.:) Otherwise, God bless you and enjoy your week!
Your right it's hard to reconcile alot of ndes the reincarnation the everyone is excepted almost seems jesus lied about the narrow door
@@briandykeman4056 What about all those many people who have hellish ndes? Or even those who see heaven and hell in one go?
And beautiful explanation.Thank you very much.And I think keto lady should understand, I just got on keto carnival diet sixty days, and I feel great. I stay away from man-made materials and boxes that are pretty much poisoned and slowly take our health away and kill us.But other than that, thank you so much for explaining.Really enjoyed reading even as a christian that I am.
No where in the bible did satan or evil raise the dead or cast out demons like we as Christians were commanded. Satan comes only to kill and destroy.
Why would Christians years ago dismiss these encounters if the ppl said they were positive and sacred. Wouldn’t they want to validate that and be super happy to hear it to justify the faith.
I am 60 this year.
Read about these NDEs many years ago in book by Moody.
Only near Death thing to anyone I knew was a 92 year old lady I assisted, said when her Mother was dying she looked up and said, I didn't know it's so beautiful!❤
Because a lot of “Christians” just like the church traditions of man. The Laodicean church. They can’t receive the things of the spirit, of little faith.
You also have to think with those telling their experience, their audience may have never heard of such a thing, or see it as a one off. They may be telling friends or family, but not the doctors, so nothing was verifiable like some of those who were able to retell what the doctors were doing during operation. Also, this isn’t exactly biblical from my understanding. I do believe these experiences are real because there is strength in the case with commonalities and the out of body experience verifications.
There is a silver cord that connects the physical body to the spirit body and once it breaks there is no coming back.
How do you explain history with science? Why was George Washington?
When science tries to explain religion, it’s similar to comparing apples to oranges.
”Nobody can come to the father except through me” Jesus ar supposed to have said.
He didn’t say:”you must read the scriptures forward,backwards and forwards again until you are totally brainwashed”. His disciples surely did not hang over the prophets all day. Theres is hardly a more boring collection of scriptures makin one fall asleep in 5 minutes.
By the way there is no such thing as hell in the original hebrew and greek text rolls.
Jesus is indeed son of God,the truth,the way and life itself. The bible is not.
7:07 So this guy never had NDE himself? But he then postulates EVERY NDE experience is a Christian experience? Truly delusional and ignorant
What a propaganda for Jesus 😂😂😂
religious dogma don’t apply to this phenomena, open your eyes, this has got nothing to do with your nonsense bible.
You've insulted me. What have I done to you?
@@SuperJill1111Interesting choice of words, tell me how I’ve insulted you exactly, then I’ll be happy to tell you anything else.
Anyone that goes on a podcast to glorify himself and talk about how ‘the lord’ has touched him is a total fraud
Not true
I don't find he glorifies himself.
He has written a book goes around charging money for his ministry is a red flag, he started a church, said he is called of God and that God told him to write books. I believe in the afterlife and an obsession with the NDE stories, money is king it motivates all people i think he wanted his own NDE and saw this as a way to get rich
Until you are born again spirituality, you willnot have eyes to see or ears to hear. It's okay, you will though. You are loved and so precious. Edit: you have discernment.
Judge not lest you be judged. Everyone writes books. Get over it. Only God sees the true motive of a man.
