Word Gems
exploring self-realization, sacred personhood, and full humanity
In some cases, the Bible
directly contradicts the
scientific evidence for the afterlife.

May I direct your attention to an inset-box found on the “Personal Messages” page (near the bottom).
You’ll find the story of Witch of Endor and the Prophet Samuel. I will avoid recounting the entire writing here, but, enough to say, a sure sign that this encounter is “fake news” and fraudulent is the aspect of Samuel being required to come back and manifest. I make the point that no one in Summerland is ordered around by anyone, least of all someone on Earth.
Buttressing my claim is the testimony, from the other side, of Brother John of Glastonbury. He affirms, regarding his missionary work on Earth, that “no one can call us back,” and if he does make a call here, it's of his own accord -- to share his joy, as he says.
Normally, a conflict such as this might be reviewed as “your word against mine,” with the issue dying unresolved. However, in this case, the direct-voice medium, Leslie Flint, was thoroughly investigated for fraud. See this web-page.
Leslie Flint, circa. 1960

"I think I can safely say that I am the most tested medium this country has ever produced... I have been boxed up, tied up, sealed up, gagged, bound and held, and still the voices have come to speak their message of life eternal."
In other words, we have good scientific evidence that Brother John’s affirmation is, in fact, exactly what it purports to be. But the Bible enjoys no such substantiation.
We already know what Bible-believers will say: “Satan did it.” It’s their one-trick-pony response. But, as you might know, elsewhere, I have addressed this charge.
There is no Satan with armies, there never was a rebellion in heaven -- that's not even possible (another contradiction of the scientific evidence for the afterlife; see the "no invasions of Summerland" paragraph) -- there is no "lake of fire," and, in any case, as per the 30+ sub-articles in this writing, the Bible, which gives life to a "Satan," cannot be trusted as an infallible guide.
