The most oft-quoted, memorized, believed, preached about and sung about passage found in the Bible is John 3:16,17: “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him should not perish, but have eternal life.

As was explained in the posting on the three resurrections, those who take part in the Lord’s Second advent–both dead and living “in Him”–will be resurrected at that time, rise to meet Him in the air and will remain with Him forever (1 Thes. 4:16,17).

In many New Testament passages the word “hell” refers to gehenna, but not in every instance.

Normalcy Bias: the desire for the common; an innate resistance to anything outside the norm (normal). The desire for social and spiritual normalcy is as old as man. Because of the normalcy bias, human beings automatically resist that which is not familiar. Unfamiliar people, places and situations are all approached with a degree of caution. […]

As a result of the Lord’s decline in importance, sin will soon be viewed by the majority of the earth’s population as a relic of the distant past. As stated earlier, I predict that within 10 years the Bible, the age-old standard by which our ancestors evaluated themselves, will be removed from the public domain […]

What was seen and heard during the interview with the scout leader left all who viewed it with the correct impression that the man was an upstanding citizen worthy of the public’s acceptance on the social level.
