It’s not necessarily profit motive, but it’s at least for attention. I am sure he thinks he saw what he saw. How do you account for other NDE which describe different experiences? Why does his only mention Joseph Smith? I would not give too much credence to anyone’s NDE.

Steve, thanks for the clarification. And, yes, the manger would, most likely, have been made of stone.

…also going along with what you are saying, he said since wood was not that common, Jesus and other carpenters worked with stone most commonly and with mud just as often as wood… or something to that effect.

@larryco_. I’m a skeptic, don’t get me wrong. But I listened to a long podcast interview with this guy, and he did actually describe the ‘stable’ as a cave, and said the manger was made of stone (maybe built into the wall–I can’t remember entirely). The way he described the inn, etc. matched very well with what you are saying.

larryco and Scw have expressed doubt about what Ralph V. Jensen wrote. That’s OK. But the question still remains: is there anything to the vast numbers of people who have suffered death and then return telling these incredible near-death stories?

Are they all trying to make a buck from their crisis? Did Ralph V Jensen have two attacks and suffer greatly only to dream up a way to profit from it?

Wow, amazing that this gentleman was personally taught by the Savior, kind of like Moses’ vision. Why is he not in the 12? Waiting for an opening? Or just publishing his crap book to make a buck off gullible saints. Is Sarah Menet still around? These two could have an interesting conversation.

Right out of the gate we have a problem: There is a slim to none chance that the Savior was born in a stable. The scriptures never mention a stable; stables are made from wood, which was/is a rare commodity in Judea. The 1st century Bethlehem home was typically built into a hillside, with the lower level dug out (or a natural cave) where the animals were cared for, and two living rooms built above. The scriptures say that Jesus was placed in a manger (trough) because there was no room in the “inn” – or sleeping area.

Thank you so much for sharing this story. It is exactly what I needed to heara this morning as I read it. If we can face all situations with love and not fear, then the adversary will not be able to be present. Thank you again….now I can do what I need to do today….something that is not easy, but needs to be done.

Elder Bushe, spoke several times at Stake conferences when I was in collage, in Lubbock, Texas. His standard opener was that when he got baptized he told the branch president that it was on the condition that he never had to give a talk or hold a calling.

You are always upbeat, Jared. You are much appreciated.
