The ‘Boy who came back from Heaven’, Alex Malarkey, has aparently released a statement recanting his story and calls to repentance those who profit from it:
“Please forgive the brevity, but because of my limitations I have to keep this short.
I did not die. I did not go to Heaven.
I said I went to heaven because I thought it would get me attention. When I made the claims that I did, I had never read the Bible. People have profited from lies, and continue to. They should read the Bible, which is enough…”
Read it all at Pulpit and Pen. (Photo: Pulpit and Pen.)
