1) You can't believe that Steve Jobs was seeing heaven, because he rejected the divinity and salvation of Christ and therefore under your church's doctrine was destined for Hell,
This ain't necessarily so.
What a person does for most of their life isn't the same thing as what a person does for all of their life.
Then there is the issue of precisely what is involved in accepting God's offer of salvation - many Christians wouldn't have a problem with the idea that folk who've never even heard of Jesus Christ can be saved.
Abraham being one such example.
2) The notion that the living - even the only barely living - can peer into God's realm of the afterlife is a deeply occult and therefore anti-Catholic doctrine.
Acts 7
quote:
The Stoning of Stephen
54 When the members of the Sanhedrin heard this, they were furious and gnashed their teeth at him. 55 But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God. 56 Look, he said, I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God.
