The point being... Just because some people don't interprete it the same doesn't mean its not there...
What you insinuated is deeply insulting to me, for reasons that I will not go into, and it has no basis in this argument.
And no, the difference between your and my interpretation of scripture isn't a matter of opinion, because opinion which is unsubstantiated by facts is not a valid opinion.

Why would i keep a list of anything relating to a religion i disagree with? Or any religion for that matter?
It's a well known fact in Islam that Muhammad ascended to heaven and decended, but this claim is a bold lie ...
There cannot be only one God and many Gods. That violates the Law of Noncontradiction. That's an epic logic fail.
So again, what if both were true...
What if there is one Supreme God,and many lesser "Gods"... perhaps depending on which planet/galaxy/dimention said person exists within?

logic is blind, and often leads you into the trap of believing you know.

Answers are a perilous grip on the universe. They can appear sensible yet explain nothing.

Ultimately, all things are known because you want to believe you know.

Then how would you be able to claim that such a list exists? Did you just make up your claim?

What you're actually advocating is Esigesis. Scholars deal in Exegesis. They are completely opposite.
or are we to understand that all these folks who claim they've been to heaven or hell and bring a message from jesus are fakes too?

We are told specifically not to trust any spirits without testing them first and no i do not trust NDE's because of the Rich man and Lazarus parable. If NDE's were a legitimate experience it was for that one person only, no one else would believe it but another believer anyway so it would serve no purpose other than to tell people who already know, which would be a excercise in futility and i have never known the Holy Spirit to waste his time, he would use something to bring the Lost Ones to Him.

LOL. Tell me God doesn't have a sense of humor?
funny you should reference that parable, the conception of the after life is closer to the Hebrew Sheol than the christian one
