The Misunderstanding of Heaven in Christianity
Many Christians hold misconceptions about heaven, often influenced by cultural assumptions and beliefs. These misconceptions have become so deeply ingrained that challenging them can lead to defensive reactions. Pastors and teachers may also contribute to these misunderstandings by not handling the topic biblically.
