Even If An Angel

There have been a couple of books that have made the claim that the individual died and went to heaven . Then upon being resuscitated , they recount the experience. What they report have a similar theme but what is lacking is the need for the gospel of Jesus Christ. It seems heaven is entered into without the need to repent of sin , trust in Jesus Christ and His life ,death and resurrection . The reports are a mixed up mess of new age spirituality and every thing under the sun .

So we can add another to these accounts. The story has broke and a book is forth coming ,about the experience of a 4 year boy at the time ,who went to heaven , talked to God , saw Jesus and dead relatives . Did this young boy experience something , no question  but as  Bible believing Christians , we need to put these accounts through the lens of scripture. In the account given ,there was no mention of the need to repent of sin and trust in Christ for salvation. Even the encounter with God was described as if God had a body but the word tells us He is spirit .Plus throughout the word , those who encounter God shudder in terror for He is holy and we are not.  There seemed to be no need for a Saviour , yes Jesus was mentioned but it seemed as an afterthought.

So what are we to make of this. Regardless if its coming from a young boy , I think what Paul has to say in Galatians should be heeded.


[8] But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be accursed.
(Galatians 1:8 ESV)

Paul's warns that no matter who brings another message of salvation , if it does not align with the truth that Jesus Christ ,the Son of God ,came in the flesh ,lived a sinless life ,was obedient to the God the Father , was put to death on the cross for His sheeps sins  and rose on the third day for our justification , then it is another gospel .A lie and is a counterfeit.

These stories feed the sinners soul , because there is no need for a Lord who bled and died . The God in these stories is not holy but more of a big fatherly figure .The cross is of no importance.The Bible is not the revelation of God to men . And all the while it leads so many to the wide road that leads to destruction. If the Devil wished to deceive , then why not pick the most innocent. If this young boy and his family aren't believers in the one true Lord , revealed in the holy Bible , then they need to repent of their delusion and come to to the light of the world , the Lord Jesus Christ.
