Thanks to my friend, Pastor Steve Holdren of Victory M.B.
Church in Hodgkins, Illinois for the thought.
ITNTRODUCTION:
Argument ONE - Jesus Didn’t Die
Argument TWO - The Disciples Imagined It
Argument THREE - It’s All Just a Legend
Argument FOUR - They Just Lied About It
These 4 points are from “please convince me.com” website
Allow us a few minutes to look at the Word of God and see ‘what think ye of Christ’
Just a couple of weeks ago while in Bible study, we gave these words out to the new converts, ‘allow the WORD of God to be your Commentary’.
So let’s do that very thing, allow the WORD of God to tell us ‘what think ye of Christ’.
1. The Scripture Hath Said…
>>Here is just a few of the ABC’s of what the Scripture hath said about the Christ.
HE IS…. Adam Advocate Almighty Alpha and Omega Amen
Author and Finisher of our Faith Author of Eternal Salvation

Consolation of Israel Corner-stone Counsellor Creator
2. The Foolish Hath Said….

The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
Psalms 53:1 says…
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good.
>>This verse has so much meaning it is penned down almost exactly the same twice.
>>I would venture to say, these are 2 verse that should be noticed by somebody.
>>I have some bad news for these that the Bible calls fools, one day you will acknowledge this man Jesus as the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.
>>But it will be to late.
Philippians 2:10-11 says…
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;
And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.
