NO DIFFERENT

Mark 8:34-38 And when he [Jesus] had called
the people unto him with his disciples
also, he said unto them, Whosoever will come after me,
let him deny himself, and take up his cross, and follow me. For whosoever will save his life shall lose it; but whosoever
shall lose his life for my sake and the gospel's, the same shall save it.
For what shall it profit a man, if he shall gain the
whole world, and lose his own soul? Or what
shall a man give in exchange for his soul? Whosoever
therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful
generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the
glory of his Father with the holy angels.
Though Hugh
Hefner lived differently than most, in his end he is no different than any
other.
Rubble from the
Second World War had not yet been cleared when in 1947 The Kinsey Institute for
Research in Sex, Gender, and Reproduction was founded as a nonprofit research
institute at Indiana University. The resultant Kinsey Report
resulted in considerable cultural stir. In 1953 Hefner, for profit in wealth
and notoriety surfed the sexual revolution wave that thereafter became tidal in
USA culture. Then, as is with capitalism, competitors Penthouse and Hustler
arose yet further from Biblical morality.
At age 91 Hugh M.
Hefner took his last hop.
Was it to eternal
damnation as some are saying?
Maybe, maybe not,
for God’s saving grace is available for one and all. God’s will is that no one
would perish. (2Pet.3:8-9) Man’s God-gifted will with individual option to
agree or continue unto death in disagreement; in this you and I are no different:
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only
Son, that whoever believes in him should not perish but have eternal life.
For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn
the world, but in order that the world might be saved through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does
not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of
the only Son of God.” (ESV Jn.3:16-18)
