The Resurrection Is Christianity's Usp

[fiveleaves]

Happy Easter. You can say many things about Easter, but for me one of the most profound is Jesus's victory over the last enemy eg death. We no longer have to fear death as some fearful end. Jesus provides a path to Life if we are willing to accept it.
It is no longer fashionable to see binary outcomes but either the Ressurrection happened or it didnt and either Jesus is God or He isn't. Our whole destiny hangs on these points. Happy Easter

Or is this just really silly now and you are not replying?

[PsalmEquipt]

When Christ returns, the “dead in Christ” (I Thessalonians 4:16) will have victory over death and receive a new, spiritual body in the fashion of Christ’s resurrected body. Death only gets a person to the grave. In order to be raised from the dead, a person needs to be saved, and we get saved in the resurrection. (Romans 10:9)
O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory? But thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. I Corinthians 15:55,57
Jesus Christ is the son of God. Matthew 27:43 “…for he said, I am the Son of God.” He makes God known to mankind, and the Holy Scriptures make known Jesus Christ. The Word of God is our standard for truth. By making Jesus Christ known, it reveals the Father's relationship with His family which is the core of Christianity.

If that's true then let's have David Icke front and centre please.

A joke's a joke but building your life around a story beginning with a 'virgin birth', continuing through a short life veering between 'miracles' and outbursts of rage culminating in being transformed into a zombie seems a bit daft, if you stop to think that is.

PsalmEquipt, like all the rest who have been saved, you quote from the Bible to "prove" the Bible is correct. That's disingenuous to say the least, do you not have any other proof?

[Peter Pedant]

I get the point, vulky - self reference and all that

you cannot use the bible to prove the bible

and you cannot use maff to prove the consistency of maff. That is Tarski's indefinability theorem and I can tell you it is longer than one word ( "obvious") or two ( obvious innit?)

and of course you cant learn to fly an aircraft by getting into an aircraft and trying to fly it

you arent overflying Ukraine as we speak - are you
( Vulky in PP voice: I dont know, I dont know how t fly this aircraft! ter daah !)

seriously hem hem as this is AB - credo quia incredibilis
I believe because it is incredible - Tertullian
ah says Vulky - you cant use Tertullian to prove Tertullian wasnt foo-foo

but then why do we read books at all ( yeah ok 90% of AB say - we don't! and 10% quip: who said I cd read?)

[Peter Pedant]

OK vulcan, another simpler one
Jesus, Book of Coffee Ch 1 v 1 - o god I am dying for a cafe nero macchiolato

and we report he said it - you say that proves he didnt right?

[vulcan42]

Oh heck PeePee, you're now quoting from a book even more imaginary than the Bible.

[PsalmEquipt]

Vulkan, to academically prove the Bible is correct is not possible, however, it is possible to prove to oneself that the Bible is correct. I can only offer you my personal testimony (psalmequipt.nichesite.org) and challenge you to take a Bible class to see if it gives you the answers you want in life.
Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled. Matthew 5:6

PsalmEquipt, you’ll find that quoting Bible passages doesn’t impress many around here. Most people prefer a civil conversation.

Incidentally, your organisation has a bit of a reputation as a cult.

Psalm...: " take a Bible class to see if it gives you the answers you want in life."

What's the point in seeking answers you want, when you should really be seeking answers which are true?
