Overaged Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 he just says that heaven is for those who are afraid of the dark.Nothing belittling to the multitudes of people who believe in heaven?? Do you think his comments were meant for himself only? His public lectures, his books, his interviews, ect... are just his own private musings?? That may be stretching the benefit of the doubt just a little too far,Brav. So are you saying he is an active opponent of Christianity? Maybe so by virtue of what he publicly says he believes, but as I also said earlier; I believe there is a lot more to his story than what meets the eye.

Moderators Bravus Posted May 19, 2011 Moderators Posted May 19, 2011 Yeah, sorry, meant to drop by and add a link but I'm out and about on a very slow connection. Here it is: http://clubadventist.com/forum/ubbthreads.php/topics/444387/Respect.html#Post444387 It might still be a bit cryptic. My point was that not being an active opponent of Christianity does not mean he has to tiptoe around for fear of upsetting Christians. He is not attacking Christianity, he is talking about his own understanding of reality. That happens to conflict with Christianity, but many things conflict with many other things and it's impossible to dance around all of them. Quote Truth is important

BobRyan Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 According to ABC news - The Latest Prophet is Colton Burpo who saw Jesus, Peter and John in heaven. He's only 12 years old. But ... could this just be an opportunity for his father to get rich selling books about him? That is the question. Quote John 8:32 - The Truth will make you free“The righteousness of Christ will not cover one cherished sin." COL 316.
Woody Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Why? Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
BobRyan Posted May 19, 2011 Posted May 19, 2011 Because you brought up Burpo and this link tells the reader/viewer who that person is by letting them see the person speaking for themselves. in Christ, Bob Quote John 8:32 - The Truth will make you free“The righteousness of Christ will not cover one cherished sin." COL 316.
