And if they say, “Well, I have inquired of you and you didn’t tell me what I want to know,” he would say, “Well, that is your problem. I have told you what you need to know. You don't need to know about such and such if I haven’t told you. And, in fact, if you go trying to inquire about such and such that I haven’t told you, you are dishonoring me.” So that is the nature of the argument. And, therefore, I think the prohibition of séances and necromancy applies to this kind of thing and people ought to stop writing those books. What We Know for Sure No. Like in the movie, Colton's heart never actually stopped beating. The real Todd Burpo stated this during an interview with Megyn Kelly on The Kelly File. "Well, he never flatlined or coded, but talking to the surgeon, he said children that young, they have no warning, vital signs don't fade, they're just there or they're gone. But he never did technically just flatline." In the months and years following Colton’s initial revelations about his trip to heaven, the young boy slowly revealed more information about his experience. Notably, he described: Considers herself as a timeless explorer and a steadfast interpreter ofdiverse epochs, cultures, faiths, and worlds.

Jeb Lund, a columnist for The Guardian, [17] expressed skepticism about the depiction of the story in the film. The red markers which Colton Burpo claims Jesus had on his hands and feet are well known. The boy could have easily guessed that his minister father would have been praying, or nursing staff could have told him.

Now, my skepticism is increased because I tried to read one of these books one time and immediately I saw a mistake. We at Desiring God, we wrote to the author. He had said, “When you get to heaven, there is no mention of death or anything like that brought to memory” — something like that.Here is what it is: “When they say to you, ‘Inquire of the mediums and the necromancers’” —the communicators with the dead — “‘who chirp and mutter’” — when they say that — “‘should not a people inquire of their God?’” (Isaiah 8:19) That is the argument: Should they inquire of the dead on behalf of the living? In other words, God’s beef with necromancy is that it belittles the sufficiency of his communication. Why would you inquire of the dead to find out what you want to know instead of inquiring of me? The real Colton Burpo supposedly told his father that he was in Heaven for three minutes. After hearing about everything his son had done in Heaven, Todd Burpo knew that such a short amount of time didn't make sense. As in the movie, he turned to the Bible for an answer and recalled that the Bible says that with the Lord, "a day is like a thousand years, and a thousand years are like a day." -Heaven is for Real book

Photos of Colton and his family are shown in the present day. If books go beyond Scripture, I doubt what they say about heaven. In other words, I am skeptical. And since doubted claims are of little use for living our lives, I don’t bother to read these books. Since I have my Bible, which already tells me what I can know for sure about heaven, and everything in those books I do not know for sure, I don’t credit them with infallibility. Therefore, it is all guesswork, and I don’t find guesswork about heaven helpful. Therefore, I don’t read the books. Let Scripture Speak When my dad asked how long I was up in Heaven, for some weird reason I said 3 minutes, when I got to see the past when my dad played with Pop, the present where I got to see my dad preach, and my dad in his separate room giving his little prayer to God, and then the future, which is when the Armageddon is to happen. -Colton Burpo, January 2012 ( 100 Huntley Street Interview)March 13th: It appears that Colton is well enough to be discharged.
