Is it important to you that our stories match up in order for you to believe?
Meeting Christ is a personal and intimate meeting that differs amongst us all.
What he has to say to one person will not be the same to the next. What HE decides to show one person will be different for the next. HE shows us what each one needs to see and/or hear.
Not care about the truth? Of course I care about the truth
but to simply ramble on and regurgitate the same ole message that God does not exist and its only made to control man .....this theory you regurgitate is also NOT fact. If so then prove it.

Maybe you're dismissive of the things that God does in your life, perhaps chalking it up to "coincidence" or whatever.
I think the OP is sincere, because I feel the same way to some degree. It doesn't sound as if my trials (which I am still in the midst of) have been as hard as the OP's, I understand the sentiment. For me, there doesn't seem to be such thing as coincidence any more.

You don't believe in coincidence? So everything is jesus? Or just the good things? You pick and choose?
The OP and the others say they see and speak with jesus. That is not the same as attributing coincidence to supernatural beings.
What kinds of "things" does god do to your life?

Someone on that ship (USS Valdez) had been leaving small chick tracts in the crews lounge.
Every day as I would pass through this area I would pick some of them up and read them.

My theory is that Jesus is not the son of God but a powerful spirit/ Cosmic Entity a la the Marvel Comics.
I'm pretty sure Jesus came to you to guide you.
I have had a relationship with both the Father and Jesus and can bear witness and give testimony that they are both God Creators.
You speak in past tense.........have had.........spirit of discernment speaks out......
Are you aware that there is an evil spirit whose name is called the spirit of religion?
I still have a relationship with them. Only I am working on closing the door to the spirit world on account of all the evil spirits around us in the netherworld. This is God's will for me. And I do not have many of the mystical experiences that I once had. I do not believe that I need to know any more for what I want to accomplish with my life. The wisdom that I have acquired in my life did not come easy.
WOW someone else must believe as well because you were starred on this statement and this scares me..........
So God has given you the authority on closing the door to the spirit world? I don't believe that for a second and I hope others will rethink this as well. I believe you that you believe this but I want you to rethink it. We all want to serve our master in a way that pleases him but the authority you speak of is no where in the bible. The authority that Jesus has given his disciples (which include you) is:
Matthew 10:1 - Jesus summoned His twelve disciples and gave them authority over unclean spirits, to cast them out, and to heal every kind of disease and every kind of sickness.
He also did the same for 72 other disciples!
Luke 10:17 - The seventy returned with joy, saying, "Lord, even the demons are subject to us in Your name." And He said to them, "I was watching Satan fall from heaven like lightning.…
If you are a disciple you have this authority as well!
Look brother (sister) I am not bashing you or rebuking you. I do love you and hope the best for you and your family but you are a bit delusional. I am a demonologist and work with exorcists. I too have been face to face with evil spirits and fallen angles (two different things) and I pay the price for it everyday and I believe that is my calling. To help deliver those under the curse of Satan and his followers through deliverance.
You do not have the authority that you speak of and what you speak is blasphemy. This job you speak of is for Jesus Christ and he alone. You are speaking of closing the gates of hell...... closing the door.....please meditate on this.
We all get overzealous from time to time.....me too but I warn you..... playing with fire will get your burnt and if you have no experience in dealing with evil than leave it alone. Fight with prayer and fasting to keep you and your family safe.
God bless you.

obviously you dont know your bible well - there are no papas or mommas in heaven.
You further state that you are making atonement for certain dead; I thought that role was reserved for jesus
or the saints. You sound like some sort of new age catholic

In the book, Heaven is for Real, of all the drawing renditions of Jesus, the only one that Colton agreed looked like the guy he saw in Heaven was the one painted by Akiane.
Oh boy.
Murgatroid, the boy came out and admitted it wasn't a true story. He confessed the events were fabricated.
Link and another and one from Snopes

Thanks for sharing suruptileous.
Some aren't going to believe and have already made this to be an attack on people's testimonies and choosing to follow Jesus. Still gotta love them though, right?
Mark 4:12
That seeing they may see, and not perceive; and hearing they may hear, and not understand; lest at any time they should be converted, and their sins should be forgiven them.
When I went to a power and love conference this what a missionary that worked in China shared
She had a vision/dream from God
In it she walked thru China, an elderly man passed by and she tried to share Jesus with this man.
He became angry and started hurdling insults at Jesus.
She became angry too and was ready to defend Jesus with all her might, but Jesus loving motioned her to continue walking. There was no need to argue or fight with this man.
Just as Peter had a sword to defend Jesus. There's no need.

This article is literally, completely wrong. You all do have an editing department right?
premyer
YOU NEED TO RECANT THIS ARTICLE! WRONG FAMILY!!! It’s the family of the ” BOY WHO CAME BACK FROM HEAVEN!” I think you guys knew what you were doing. Get your facts straight first. This is Horrible!!!
Michelle B.
Guys , what I did was write to the Project Casting team. This article is COMPLETELY and UTTERLY wrong. I’m hoping she did not do this on purpose because it looks like she knew a little bit too much for her to confuse the book.
Holly
You had best recant this article quickly before you get yourself in trouble. You have the wrong family and wrong book title for the story.
Bill Ingram
you need to recant this story and tell the right one as all you have here is in error you would think as journalist you would have done a better job 2 different families 2 different stories get your fact straight before you go to press
seriously disgusted
this article makes no sense at all?! Colton is the name of the boy in Heaven is for Real. If I were the Burpo family I’d be contacting my lawyer about suing y’all for slander right about now. This story needs to be pulled and you need to do a better job of “reporting”. What a joke!
Ian E
What’s sad is your slanderous, sloppy, careless – and I wonder malicious – journalism. It took a lot of effort to find four images for the obviously-wrong book so you can make gross generalizations about a group of people.
rob
This article is going to make the Burpo a lot of money — your money. You need to get out there really quick with a retraction — a big one. You have completely confused two separate books. The Malarkey book is the one where the kid has recanted the story. Your article is further inaccurate in stating that it’s the dad who recanted.
Amy Jo Turner
This makes ZERO sense the book wasnt even about this kid, it was about Colon Burpo! Im sorry I am zery confused by this article. How can this family claim its about them when its about another family all together.

It has been known for thousands of years to be the devils to drive a person mad. Believing the lies of the devils will make a person lose touch with reality.
How does pasting a quote from the bible prove anything?

Yes that was back when people were incredibly superstitious but thanks to psychology we know for sure devils are not to blame for a possible delusional episode...
