The sometimes heard idea that "many now living will never
die but live forever in paradise on earth" differs from Paul telling us that all sin and therefore all will
die. Read 1 Corinthians 15:22. Not only Paul, but Christ and others time and again said the gospel or Good
News is the Resurrection Hope, not living forever on earth. In Genesis, Adam and Eve were told they would
never die but could live forever in paradise. (Read Genesis 3) Not God but a serpent made this false
prediction or claim.
Also, although Ecclesiastes 1:4 says Earth will never end, Christ and
the Bible say heaven and Earth will pass away although a new heaven and Earth will come. (Read Matthew 24:35; Luke 21:33,
Revelation 21:1) So precisely as Ecclesiastes says, our planet Earth has come and it will go away even as the different
generations of humans do, but yet the Earth will be recreated and in this sense it definitely remains forever.
Paul
said there was one true faith and hope. (Ephesians 4:5) The faith which he spoke of was and still is Christianity in
general, although it has like a huge tree had good, average and bad branches. Although some branches and individual
Christians have been like weeds or an unproductive fig tree, happily most have produced some to many good fruits, that is
love, joy, peace etc. In fact Revelation 19:1 says there will be a "great crowd" in heaven.

2 Corinthians 5:1, 2; Galatians 1:8, Philippians 3:20, James 1:17. The website christianwitnesses.com has information
