Thank you for posting this! I have known Todd Brady, the author, for almost thirty years. I haven’t seen him lately, but he is a fine man.
That aside, I heartily agree with his point. Modern accounts of personal encounters with Christ and visits to heaven never seem to be in accordance with Scripture. We must get our understanding of the thrice Holy God from HIS WORD not the subjective experiences of other men. The Bible is all we need to be made perfect and complete in Christ. It is the Scriptures that make us “wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus.”
“But continue thou in the things which thou hast learned and hast been assured of, knowing of whom thou hast learned them; And that from a child thou hast known the holy scriptures, which are able to make thee wise unto salvation through faith which is in Christ Jesus. All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: That the man of God may be perfect, thoroughly furnished unto all good works.”
—2 Timothy 3:14-17
Right on. Amen. Thanks.
Preach it, brother.
