WHAT IS IT ABOUT CHRISTIANITY AND THE RESURRECTION
OF JESUS THAT SCARED SOME PEOPLE TO DEATH?


|
T his article is not intend to convince unbelievers but to strengthen believers.
Romans 3:3 (KJV) For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? James 2:19 (KJV) Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
DID CHRIST RAISED FROM THE DEAD?
Why people scared of Christianity?
They are scared because they had the wrong concept of what God required of them. They have the wrong concept of how and when to uses the urges of the body. Here we see David complaining that his mother conceive him in sin. There is nothing wrong about marital sex. You might ask, then James you do not believe in the inspiration of the Bible. Inspiration is talking about it’s record. It is true that it was said. However, what was said is not bound to be correct. There is nothing sinful about marital sex. Psalm 51:5 (KJV) Behold, I was shapen in iniquity; and in sin did my mother conceive me.
PEOPLE SCARED THAT CHRISTIANITY WILL CHANGE THEIR LIVES.
1 John 1:8 (KJV) If we say that we have no sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us.
James 2:10 (KJV) For whosoever shall keep the whole law, and yet offend in one point, he is guilty of all.
One of the main sins among Christians is back biting. Then they will never call the accused and say what they heard so the accused can clear his or her name and get on with their lives. You only hear words dropping, and you know that they heard something and are feeding off it. So we do not live any life either. Therefore, it is not the life that sinners are afraid of.
Lament. 3:22 (KJV) It is of the Lord's mercies that we are not consumed, because his compassions fail not.
Galatians 5:15 (KJV) But if ye bite and devour one another, take heed that ye be not consumed one of another.
IF CHRIST REALLY RAISE FROM THE DEAD THEN A PROVISION HAS BEEN ESTABLISH FOR MAN’S SIN.
1 Cor. 15:14 (KJV) And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
2 Cor. 4:14 (KJV) Knowing that he which raised up the Lord Jesus shall raise up us also by Jesus, and shall present us with you.
1 Cor. 6:14 (KJV) And God hath both raised up the Lord, and will also raise up us by his own power.
FIRST CENTURY KINGS AND NOBLES DID NOT DISPUTE THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS.
Twelve calamities "if Christ be not risen":
2. Our preaching is in vain (1 Cor. 15:14).
3. Our faith is in vain (1 Cor. 15:14,17).
4. We are liars; because we have preached such a doctrine (1 Cor. 15:15).
5. We are yet in our sins (1 Cor. 15:17).
6. All the dead are perished (1 Cor. 15:18).
7. We have no hope (1 Cor. 15:19).
8. We are most miserable (1 Cor. 15:19).
9. We are plain fools (1 Cor. 15:30-32).
10. Nature is a farce (1 Cor. 15:35-49).
11. Promises are lies (1 Cor. 15:50-54).
12. Prophecies are false (1 Cor. 15:55-56).
THE DEATH OF JESUS WAS NOT DISPUTED NOR REFUTED.
John 19:31 (Living Bible) The Jewish leaders didn't want the victims hanging there the next day, which was the Sabbath (and a very special Sabbath at that, for it was the Passover), so they asked Pilate to order the legs of the men broken to hasten death; then their bodies could be taken down.
THE SOLDERS MAKE SURE HE WAS DEAD.
JESUS DISCIPLES PRONOUNCE HIM DEAD.
Matthew 27:57-61 (KJV) When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple: [58] He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered. [59] And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth, [60] And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed. [61] And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre.
THE JEWISH LEADERS AND PHARISEES SEAL THE TOMB AND BUT SOLDERS AS WATCHMEN.
Matthew 27:62-64 (KJV) Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate, [63] Saying, Sir, we remember that that deceiver said, while he was yet alive, After three days I will rise again. [64] Command therefore that the sepulchre be made sure until the third day, lest his disciples come by night, and steal him away, and say unto the people, He is risen from the dead: so the last error shall be worse than the first.
died for our sins—
according to the scriptures
THE RESURRECTION OF JESUS WAS DISPUTED BUT NOT REFUTED.
Matthew 28:2 (Living) Suddenly there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord came down from heaven and rolled aside the stone and sat on it. Matthew 28:3 (Living) His face shone like lightning and his clothing was a brilliant white. Matthew 28:4 (Living)
THE SOLDERS SAW THE RISEN LORD.
THE JEWISH LEADERS AT THE TIME BELIEVE IT.

5. seen of Cephas

THE MIRACLES OF JESUS WAS DISPUTED BUT NOT REFUTED.
READ THE FOUR ACCOUNTS OF THE TIME OF VISIT.
Mark 16:2 (KJV)And very early in the morning the first day of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun.
Luke 24:1 (KJV) Now upon the first day of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain others with them.
John 20:1 (KJV)The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
The Jews divided the night into 3 parts of 4 hours each and the Romans into 4 parts of 3 hours each. The 4th watch would be 3:00 to 6:00 in the morning. What did these verses had in common? These verses had every thing in common. Early in the morning is still dark in that part of the world.
Let us face the fact, no matter how much education we had on a subject we can go out there and made the worst mistakes of our life, that cause us dearly. Only Jesus Christ can help us with our decision-making.
Proverbs 3:6 in all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.
Psalm 34:8 (NASB-U) O taste and see that the Lord is good; How blessed is the man who takes refuge in Him!
HOW TO BECOME A CHRISTIAN.
Isaiah 7:11 (ASV) Ask thee a sign of Jehovah thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. Isaiah 7:12 (ASV) But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt Jehovah.
Ezekiel 18:32 (ASV) For I have no pleasure in the death of him that dieth, saith the Lord Jehovah: wherefore turn yourselves, and live.
First you must recognize that you are a sinner and need God mercy.
1 Peter 2:24 (Living) He personally carried the load of our sins in his own body when he died on the cross so that we can be finished with sin and live a good life from now on. For his wounds have healed ours!
YOU MUST KNOW THAT YOU CANNOT SAVE YOURSELF.
2 Peter 3:18 (ASV) But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be the glory both now and for ever. Amen.
Zech. 4:7 (KJV) Who art thou, O great mountain? before Zerubbabel thou shalt become a plain: and he shall bring forth the headstone thereof with shoutings, crying, Grace, grace unto it.
Eph 2:8 The Message Bible” “Saving is all his idea, and all his work. All we do is trust him enough to let him do it. It's God's gift from start to finish! Eph 2:9 We don't play the major role. If we did, we'd probably go around bragging that we'd done the whole thing!” There nothing you could do to save yourself , the only thing you could do is bowed your head and ask God to save you.
You must believe that there is a God.
No other person can save you except Jesus.
Acts 4:12 (Living) There is salvation in no one else! Under all heaven there is no other name for men to call upon to save them."
Then you must know that God invites you to come to him.
Do not wait until tomorrow to get save.
2Co 6:2 The Message Bible. “God reminds us, I heard your call in the nick of time; The day you needed me, I was there to help. Well, now is the right time to listen, the day to be helped.”
Delay not your conversion to the lord, put it not off from day to day. Remember that tomorrow is promise to no man. Accept the lord, go home and continue with your life, if the lord.. If the lord saves you in bad life style, he has some plan up his sleeve how to get you out of it, give him time to work out his salvation in your life.
WHOSEOEVER SHALL CALL.
Romans 10:13 (KJV) For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
Ezekiel 33:11 (KJV) Say unto them, As I live, saith the Lord God, I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn ye, turn ye from your evil ways; for why will ye die, O house of Israel?
Now bow your head and pray this prayer.
From this day onward you will begin to feel a flood of joy and peace full your heart and mind. You must confess Jesus to others with your mouth. Tell what great thing the lord had done for you. Romans 10:9 (Living) For if you tell others with your own mouth that Jesus Christ is your Lord and believe in your own heart that God has raised him from the dead, you will be saved.
Then you need to start reading the bible, start reading from St Mathew.
THE LORD WILL MAKE YOU HOLY IN HIS OWN TIME.
OUR BODY WAS NOT REEDEM AT CONVERSION.
Rom 8:21 that the creation itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the liberty of the glory of the children of God. Rom 8:22 For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. Rom 8:23 And not only so, but ourselves also, who have the first-fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for our adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
OUR VILE BODY WILL BE CHANGE AT THE RETURN OF JESUS.
THE SINS OF THE BODY WILL NOT BE CONQUERED LITERALY BY ALL SAINTS WHILE LIVING ON EARTH.
When the Lord redeemed us our body was not redeem, it was our spirit and soul. The changes took place in our spirit man. Not the body. The body will still continue to sin. If the believer do not know this they will become worried as to why am I still lusting? And became eaten up with guilt to the point where they experience no peace and joy.
Even though our body were not redeem, we who wanting to live up to certain standard, to please society, must bring our body into subjection, even thou we do not do that to buy salvation. But to prevent Satan from capitalized on it. But to bring this body into subjection take time. We saw belivers at the judgment seat of Christ in heaven being judge for the deeds of the body.
1 Cor. 9:27 (NASB-U)but I discipline my body and make it my slave, so that, after I have preached to others, I myself will not be disqualified.
2 Cor. 2:11 (NASB-U) so that no advantage would be taken of us by Satan, for we are not ignorant of his schemes.
Romans 12:1 (GW)Brothers and sisters, in view of all we have just shared about God's compassion, I encourage you to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, dedicated to God and pleasing to him. This kind of worship is appropriate for you.
2 Cor. 12:7 (NASB-U)Because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, for this reason, to keep me from exalting myself, there was given me a thorn in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to torment me—to keep me from exalting myself!
SOME THING YOU OVERCAME IT BY IMPUTED GRACE.
“I saw a river of blood, flows from Calvary Mountain, I am in it and your are in it, and I am clean, clean” By Smith Wiggle worth.
We can sing with the song writer" I rise walk in heaven’s own light above the world and sin with heart made pure and garments white, and Christ en-throned with in. The cleansing stream I see I see I plunge, and O It cleans-eth me. O praise the Lord, it cleans-eth me, it cleans-eth me yes, cleans-eth me."
HOW TO CONTINUE IN THE FAITH.
The first thing you will need to know is this. Beware of people who come laying hands on you say they are filling you with the Holy Ghost. That is how people get possess with demonic spirits. God will give you every thing you need to fit you out for his service in his own times. You do not need to push any thing nor to make any thing happen. Wait until God make it happen.
A NEW MIND-SET.
Eph 4:22 That ye put off concerning the former conversation the old man, which is corrupt according to the deceitful lusts; Eph 4:23 And be renewed in the spirit of your mind; Eph 4:24 And that ye put on the new man, which after God is created in righteousness and true holiness. Eph 4:25 Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbour: for we are members one of another.
GIVE YOURSELF AWAY TO THE THINGS OF GOD.
Jer 29:13 The Message Bible. "When you come looking for me, you'll find me. "Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else,
