But here's the rub (for you). He's not dead, He is alive, THE FIRSTBORN FROM THE DEAD. And if there's a first, there must of a necessity be a second and so forth.
I know He's alive because the same Spirit that raised Him from the dead dwells in me and teaches me and brings all things to my remembrance, and.......because I've literally seen Him, He is risen.
Do you realize that even some of the hard core terrorist muslims are turning to belief and faith in Him because He has/is appearing to some of them? Now that's sad, that the sons of Ham hardened by 1200 years of the Koran, are beating the rest of the sons to the Door of the House.
And do you know what the reaction is to seeing Him? I can tell you. Shock and sobbing.
Don't bother with your arguments with me about why you think He's not the Messiah. I will tell you what I tell everyone else that tries.
If you live on the Ohio line, let's say, there's a 99% probability if not 100% that you have also been across that line to Pennsylvania at some point. Having experienced going there, could then anyone on the face of the earth tell you and convince you that you hadn't been there? Of course not. Well, you're too late, I've been there. Peace
