Colton passes the test, telling his father that it never gets dark in heaven because God and Jesus create its light. So, Todd asks Colton what he did when it got dark in heaven, knowing full well that, according to the Bible, heaven is actually bathed in perpetual light. However, he wants to give Colton one last test to check he’s telling the truth. This makes sense to Todd, as it matches the description of the heavenly thrones in the Bible.īy this point, Todd almost entirely believes that Colton went to heaven. He states that Jesus also had a throne, on the right-hand side of God’s. Colton confirms that he did, and that it was huge. It comforts them to know that one day, they’ll reunite with their late daughter in heaven.ĭecember: Todd asks Colton whether he saw God’s throne while in heaven. Todd and Sonja are shocked, since they did suffer a miscarriage before Colton’s birth, but had never told him about it. October: Colton tells his parents that while he was in heaven, he met his sister who’d passed away in the womb. Todd is astounded, as this matches his experience of deciding to become a pastor: He’d felt that someone or something had been calling him to do so, and now knew that it was Jesus. He also states that Jesus had described reaching out to Todd and telling him to be a pastor. Todd believes that much of what Colton is describing matches the descriptions of Jesus and heaven in the Bible, again strengthening his belief that Colton is telling the truth.Īugust: Colton reveals that while in heaven, he met Todd’s late grandfather, Pop, and says he was very nice. He only spent three minutes in heaven (although Todd concedes that, since Colton can’t tell the time yet, what he thinks of as three minutes may be much longer).Everyone in heaven had light shining above their heads.Everyone in heaven had wings that they used to fly, except Jesus, who could fly without wings.Jesus was his “teacher” while he was in heaven, and he had to do “homework” along with many other children.Later that week, both Todd and Sonja ask Colton questions about heaven. He begins to contemplate the idea that his son is describing a real experience.
He gives a description of Jesus that matches both passages in the Bible and the depiction of Jesus on crucifixes-but Todd notes that Colton hasn’t encountered crucifixes or those sections of the Bible yet. Colton explains that he met Jesus and the angels while visiting heaven. The Burpos wonder how Colton had known what his parents were doing during the operation, and question whether the experience Colton is describing was a dream or real.Īround July 10th: Todd questions Colton further about his experience.
