Easter is stolen from the Pagan celebration of Ishtar. So Biblical Christians now prefer the titles of Maunday Thursday, Good Friday and "Resurrection Sunday."

I believe we're just going to have to disagree on both counts, and that's OK by me.

The Bible is proof a plenty to me because my eyes have been opened to spiritual things. The Bible explains all we need to know at this point to understand creation, "In the beginning God." The "Origin of species" proves nothing to me nor to anyone else who is really thinking. Darwin could not explain the beginning of life on this planet and could not provide any examples of species to species transitions because there are none. His theory is just that, a theory.

The Bible is quite enough proof for me, but you're free to not believe. Biblical Truth is spiritually discerned, and unless the Spirit moves yet at some point in your life by God's mercy and grace, you will remain "Blind". Please do not harden your heart more...

AND, no matter how much you wish for it (Hell) Not to be True, doesn't change that it IS REAL...

NO, why "re-invent the wheel" when there are such good reasonable answers to these kind of questions already given. The human spirit demands justice and God has promised He will provide it...His delay is out of mercy in the hope than man will repent of sins and come to the Savior, Jesus Christ!

If a man receives a $2 fine for a crime, you can be sure that the crime he committed was trivial. However, if you hear of a criminal getting multiple life-sentences without parole, you can surmise that the crime he committed was very serious. The penalty given, gives us understanding of the nature of the crime.

The penalty for sin is death and damnation--life without parole. The sentence is eternal. This is harsh by any human standard, however, God’s standard is infinitely higher than ours. He is perfect and holy, and the best of us is desperately wicked in His sight. If we sinned a mere ten times a day through lustful thoughts, greed, ingratitude, bad actions, etc.,--over a 70 year life that comes to 255,500 sins that God must punish.

If Hell doesn’t exist, then Hitler murdered six million mothers, fathers, children, brothers and sisters, and got away with it. 100,000 people committed murder in the 1990's in the US and were not brought to justice. Human reason demands Hell's existence, but as to its eternality, I leave such thoughts in God’s hands. In the meanwhile, I say with the Apostle Paul, "Wherefore knowing the terror of the Lord, we persuade men." ~ copied from Ray Comfort ~ http://www.thegoodtest.net

They did die that day "spiritually" and they subsequently died physically. They wouldn't have died at all ever if they hadn't eaten the fruit that Adam had been told not to eat. They could have eaten from every tree in the garden except just that one and they chose to disobey God which resulted in sin entering and corrupting the world. Sad, but we would have done the same thing....God sent His Son Jesus to restore our broken relationship with God. Will you accept the gift? http://www.thegoodtest.net
