Thoughts on Is Heaven For Real Part 1

The book Is Heaven For Real  My review and opinion
I read this book because so many Christians are going nuts over it. I don't read Christian books without the Word near by or in hand..There have been a lot of Christian fads that have come and gone.One I remember was the 'I found it 'slogan or how about " one way"or "WWJD" not that they are bad but books do the same thing as these slogans.People will read them and just except what it say's just because their a pastor or they have written so many book or just because its a big seller .non of  those reasons are  good enough to say the books correct and true. So here I go .

My likes
Its one that is written to be a good read with out having a dictionary at the  ready to see what the words mean.It read smoothly and flowed well.It shows how even pastors are not above questioning God and why he would allow this medical emergency to happen.Its a quick read.

My dislikes
First there are somethings that are not verifiable. I DO NOT believe that there is new revelation that Gods word could not prove to be true.So with that in mind if it can't be validated then its not correct. Gods WORD is my only AUTHORITY!


Can't find anything that say's Jesus's horse is multi colored .There are diffrent color horses mentioned in scripture Rev 6:2 white horse ,Rev 6:4 red horse ,Rev 6:5 black horse ,Rev 6:8 pale horse (yellowish green)  ,and Rev 19:11-16

The Rider on a White Horse

11 Then I saw heaven opened, and behold, a white horse! The one sitting on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, and he has a name written that no one knows but himself. 13 He is clothed in a robe dipped in^d blood, and the name by which he is called is The Word of God. 14 And the armies of heaven, arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, were following him on white horses. 15 From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.
This is Jesus's horse. Its white nowhere in the text is there a multi colored horse. 
Angels singing   to little Colton ,well I thought I find a verse or two speaking of angels singing and I thought of Luke 2:13 but no it says "praising him SAYING  ,so how about the four living creatures in Rev ,.....nope they are SAYING Holy Holy Holy,.The ESV uses the word Angels 91 times and Angel 204 times and in all them none speak of Angels singing The Greek doesn't interpret praising or saying as singing. So do angels sing I would think so but the Bible as far as I can find does not mention Angels as singing.


Sitting on Jesus's lap well maybe Jesus liked children and said basically  having faith like a child you can get into Heaven (my loose translation) he also said, "Let the children come to me, and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Luke 18:16.
The next couple of things  seeing John the Baptist and being told by Jesus that his cousin baptized him.sure we would see others and probably meet everyone , but are you sure he has never heard about Jesus baptism(dads a pastor)
Rev 19:12 On his head are many diadems I can rationalize this whole book this boy has been in church all his life and his father is a pastor,so to say Jesus has a crown is not a shock when colton says it as a matter of fact.
