"TWISTED"

Reexamining popular beliefs about heaven and hell, angels and demons, Satan, and the End Times.
Quick quiz: Why do we think of the forbidden fruit eaten by Eve as an apple?
Answer: Not because of the Bible.
We have lots of ideas and pictures of Satan, heaven, hell, angels, and demons...but how many of them actually derive from our Scriptures? Some of these misconceptions are trivial (like the apple). But some really impact how we understand our faith, how we grieve, even how we live day to day. We’ll take some of these popular beliefs and check them according to the Bible. And what we’ll find is that there is always Good News to be gained when we let go of that which God has not said!
