Revelation 21:5-8
Let's start a bit differently this evening. Let's play a little game. I hold in my hand something very simple. It's a quarter. I'm going to hide the quarter in one of my hands and ask you to guess which hand it's in. Pretend we're playing this game one on one. If you lose, I keep the quarter, if you win, you get it. Which hand is the quarter in?*

Today, as we continue our study through the book of Revelation, I want to deal with several false assumptions that people have about God, Heaven and Christianity. I want to reveal the foolishness of betting on eternity while relying on false assumptions and I want you to think about this question: ''What if you get it wrong?''

False assumptions about God, eternity and heaven...
You can have a god of your own choosing: 5a and 6a
Explanation
The first myth is extremely pervasive in our society. In this day and age of acceptance and tolerance, it is seen as arrogant and insensitive to claim that there is only one God.
If you claim that you are right and someone else is wrong then your insensitive, narrow-minded, intolerant and bigoted.
But think about it like this, someone has to be ...
