Subject: "Celestial Tourism" |
Bible Note: "There are several things that make this account completely different from today’s celestial tourism. First, Paul says that he does not know whether his experience was a vision or something that happened bodily; celestial tourists all declare that they actually, fully experienced heaven. Second, Paul says that he was forbidden to discuss what he saw and what he experienced; these books all describe everything the authors can remember. Third, Paul did not die; these tourists were all dead. Fourth, Paul shares this in a unique and specific context—the context of boasting in the gospel; none of these modern authors are boasting in the gospel in their accounts. In fact, they are preaching an inadequate gospel at best (Heaven Is For Real) and a false gospel at worst (To Heaven and Back)." --Tim Challies From his blog... www.challies.com/articles/what-the-bible-says-about-the-heaven-books |
