Boy Says he didn't go to heaven?

Boy Says He Didn't Go To Heaven; Publisher Says It Will Pull Book

Alex Malarkey, seen here in a 2009 photo, has written an open letter saying that events described in the best-seller The Boy Who Came Back from Heaven were made up. The Bible is the only source of truth.

I would like you to define Heaven. Is your definition of what heaven is the same as mine?
 
Unlikely.
 
My point of view is that we all go to a compatible heaven and therefore go where we need to go as souls. I believe of course in reincarnation which most early Christians did too until they were killed for this belief as a way to enslave them physically, mentally and emotionally.
 
Am I right or wrong?
 
This conversation is completely irrelevant because I cannot ever prove to you my belief system nor can your prove your belief system to me either.
 
In the end heaven is something we experience or we don't all the time. Will it be there after we die?
 
"To Sleep perchance to Dream" and "Maybe it will be a good dream?"
 
Whether this boy went to heaven or not really has nothing to do with the rest of us. Because each of us are going to experience whatever we are going to experience and believe whatever we are going to believe.
 
And in the end, who can say who of us is right or wrong for our beliefs?
 
Or better said, "Whatever we believe may or not be the truth"
 
So, maybe people believe what they believe because otherwise they just might jump off a cliff somewhat like ISIL soldiers are doing when they commit suicide in battle.
 
However, my point of view would be killing yourself to go to heaven is sort of saying, "This world is just so bad that I would rather die than stay here any longer."
 
Is this a valid point of view? It doesn't matter if it is valid or not many people seem to agree with it.
 
I don't. But, I have already faced suicide in my youth and decided to stay alive for my kids, my present wife and my friends. But, that's just me.
 
Also, I enjoy writing this blog for all of you, I like to climb mountains, to ski, to travel to Hawaii like I'm doing now and go snorkeling with my friends like I'm likely going to do today.
 
Life is Good. I live in Heaven. Why don't you?
