RBP 122: Death: Is There Anything Beyond? | Guest: Missionary Marco

Removing Barriers

Episode 122 If we are honest, we admit that we wonder about the big questions of life: Who am I? How did we get here? What is death? What happens after death? Social media is replete with stories of near death experiences, encounters with the dead, and other paranormal or supernatural incidents, but are they real? Are they true? What exactly happens to a person when they die? In this episode of the Removing Barriers podcast, Missionary Marco joins us as we explore these questions and examine what the Bible says about them.

At about 16 minutes in the recording, Missionary Marco mentioned the case of a pastor who was praying over what to do with his unresponsive mother. He would like to correct the record with the information below:

In 1988, the mother of Pastor Terry Coomer (Hope Baptist Church, North Little Rock, Arkansas) suffered a heart attack and was without oxygen to her brain for more than five minutes. She went into a coma and throughout that night had seizures every few minutes. Several brain specialists told the family that she would never regain consciousness and would be a “vegetable” for the rest of her life. Her major organs had shut down, and she was on a breathing ventilator. For months she remained in that condition, with her husband stopping by the hospital each day to talk to her, when she suddenly woke up! Pastor Coomer testifies: “I was called to the hospital and she talked to me. She told me how much she loved me and how she was going to miss seeing her grandchildren grow up. She also talked about knowing that she was going to die and about the home that she had in heaven. She asked why this had happened to her. I told her I did not know, but I knew God loved her and had a place prepared for her. We prayed together, and I hugged her and told her how much I loved her. Ten days later, she went into the presence of her Lord. I asked the neurologist how they could make such a mistake. He told me the brain is different than any other organ, meaning that it is more difficult to predict what will happen to the brain than with other organs. I can testify to that. I am glad we were not persuaded to pull the plug even though I was told over and over, ‘She has no quality of life.’ I am thankful we left the decision of her life in the hands of the Lord rather than those who thought it was okay to kill.”
