Indeed!

[dware]

It was Malarkey, after all. Sorry, couldn’t resist the pun.

Beat me to it...

"Alex recanted his testimony about the afterlife..."

Simply confirmation of the most likely explanation all along.

[piytar]

This is NOT about the 4 year old (I didn't recall his name until I read your post)?! Just wow. The MSM fooled me on that score. Thanks for the information!!!

I have often suspected this of those tales of previous lives that people use to prove reincarnation.

Sells books.

[MeshugeMikey]

Ficition sells well even when sold as non fcition

Don’t ever believe protestant accounts of NDEs.

[Ann Archy]

Their name is MALARKEY????? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAH

Not to be confused with "Heaven Is For Real" about 4 year old Colton Burpo's experience. I don't think the "media" would INTENTIONALLY try to confuse anybody, do you?

I made the mistake of thinking it was the same kid until I came back to double check.

[Tijeras_Slim]

Better this than a fully credible account that claims Heaven is just like a Chuck-E-Cheese, only with better illumination.

[SuzyQue]

Why not?

Luke 16:26

Exactly. Nobody goes to Heaven and then comes back to earth to tell us about it. Had this so-called "Christian" publishing house understood the Bible in the first place, this wouldn't have ever been an issue because they wouldn't have published such "feel-good" nonsense.

What about Matthew 17:1-3? Moses and Elias came back. John tells us he saw heaven in Revelation 4

Not so distant relatives of Josh... Earnest....I’ve been told

[MeshugeMikey]

I dont by into NDE...regardless of spiritual orientation of the tale bearer

They fooled me on that one. Now that you've brought it to my attention, I realize that I've never heard of the book mentioned here or its authors. 5 minutes ago I thought I did.

[Secret Agent Man]

I think they totally hope people will assume it was the younger boy.

[Aliska]

St. Paul was caught up into the third heaven. But he said it wasn’t lawful to tell what he saw and experienced.

[ALASKA]

Well, he’s in trouble now when he does go!!!

[Boogieman]

Maybe this will inspire the Burpos to come clean too.
