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

Moses and Elijah did not come back.

The Apostles simply saw a vision of them, along with Christ in his glory. They never set a foot on earth. This is clear from verses 8-9, where Christ specifically calls what they saw a “vision”:

“8 And when they had lifted up their eyes, they saw no man, save Jesus only.
9 And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead.”

“John tells us he saw heaven in Revelation 4”

Again, John was given a vision of Heaven,and several other prophets/apostles were as well. They never went there, at least not while they were living.
