Not seeing it at all and recommending my friends don't either. I don't believe any of these people have truly been to heaven since many aspects of their story are unbiblical.
Not seeing it at all and recommending my friends don't either. I don't believe any of these people have truly been to heaven since many aspects of their story are unbiblical. What broke my heart was when a girl I went to high school posted on Facebook that she's so glad she read the book because now she's not afraid to die because she knows she'll get into heaven. Note that she's not a believer but a cultural Catholic. Right there, that tells me something.
Ok, what does scripture say about what you see or happens first when you die in the Lord?
On what basis does one make the steadfast decision that another is not a believer but rather some "cultural Catholic" or other?
I guess you don't live in an area where cultural Catholicism is the norm. What are they? People who don't believe the Bible, don't believe that Jesus is the Son of God, believe that if you're good enough, you'll get to heaven but also believe they need to be at Mass on Easter and Christmas, have their children receive first communion and must always get married at church.
Most of that, I would line up with you. I have not come into an Catholics in my neighborhood who would deny that Jesus is the Son of God. When it comes to "people who do not believe the bible", that can be an ambiguous statement. I know many, even here, who have different takes, often subtle, occasionally significantly different, one can make the claim in such that "they don't believe the bible". Not sure if I am clear here, but it is "clear" to me.
