Challenging Choo Thomas' "Heaven Is So Real"
Challenging Choo Thomas' "Heaven Is So Real"
Stories about people visiting heaven or hell are riveting. But how can we be sure their supposed accounts are real and not a figment of someone's imagination? By comparing against the Scriptures everything they espouse! Such is the case with Choo Thomas' book, Heaven Is So Real, which we examine below.
If Choo Thomas truly HAD met "Jesus" the first thing He would have told her is that His Father's Name is YHWH (Yahweh), and His own real Name is Y'shua, and that Choo should be Torah Observant!
He would never have told her that "people don't who don't go to church or tithe go to hell" (as is suggested in her book) and he would never have concentrated on showing her some silly dance she needed to perfect! (Since when is tithing a prerequisite to eternal life? Where in Scripture does it say one needs to "perfect" a dance to impress our Messiah?) Rather, He would have shown her the importance of obedience to His Father's Divine Instructions in Righteousness (Torah) - which is something Christians like Ms. Choo are calling "a curse" - while they are keeping the pagan "holy days" of Christmas and Easter, and ignoring the COMMANDED Seventh Day Sabbath - which is a sign between YHWH and those who believe in Him:
Ezekiel 20: 11 I gave them my laws and showed them my rulings; if a person obeys them, he will have life through them. 12 I gave them my shabbats as a SIGN between me and them, so that they would know that I, ADONAI, am the one who makes them holy.
Isaiah 66: 23 And it shall be that from one New Moon to another New Moon and from one Sabbath to another Sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before Me, says Yahweh.
Isaiah 58: 13 If you hold back your foot on Shabbat from pursuing your own interests on my holy day; if you call Shabbat a delight, ADONAI'S holy day, worth honoring; then honor it by not doing your usual things or pursuing your interests or speaking about them. If you do, you will find delight in ADONAI - I will make you ride on the heights of the land and feed you with the heritage of your ancestor Ya'akov, for the mouth of ADONAI has spoken."
Choo wrote that "Jesus" used the term "church" - something the true Y'shua would NEVER have done as "church" is a Greek term, a place where believers worship a Torah-less "Jesus" who came to abolish Torah, change the Sabbath to Sunday, and suggest the feasts were only for "the Jews"....Yeshua never once used the term "church" - He used the terms "assembly" whenever referring to synagogue congregations....
Choo said she met Abraham "the founder of Judaism" on one of her trips to heaven. Abraham was one of the forefathers, but he certainly wasn't the "founder of Judaism." He wasn't even a Jew! He was a "Hebrew" (Hebrew term meaning, "to cross over" - Genesis 14:13). Nobody was ever called a "Jew" until Jacob's line started the Tribe of Judah where the term "Jew" originated (Genesis 29:35; Matthew 1:1-2)! Yet EVERY believer up until then was Torah observant, and Yeshua would have told Choo this IF she had actually ever seen Him!
Not only that, but she says Abraham was already living in heaven in a mansion....It seems Choo forgot that "heaven" where we will live for all eternity doesn't start until Yahweh provides a "new heaven and a new earth" on Judgment Day (2 Peter 3:13, Isaiah 65:17, Isaiah 66:22, Luke 18:30; Revelation 21:1-5), when most will end up separated from Him, and the rest will be with Him forever....
Other problems with Choo's book include the idea that Jesus took her to a "powder room with sparkling mirrors." WHAT??? Where in the Bible can one find mirrors or toilets in heaven - the place that will be all about Yahweh, not us? We don't know what our eternal bodies will look like, nor whether they will require food, drink or toilets or any other "earthly" amenity.
Apparently, "Jesus" wants us all to know that the Bible which we are to read and accept via FAITH, is not enough. In order to understand the Bible and truly believe in heaven and hell, one must read Choo's book - the very book that does NOT line up with Scripture, and uses the terms "Jesus" and "church" and other churchisms; and never once suggests believers in Messiah Y'shua must be Torah observant?
Choo's assertions are completely ludicrous and I pray her eyes will soon be opened to GOD's Truth because she's leading people astray with this nonsense!
