There are those that trust their academic ability, or someone else's mental sharpness and genius that say they have the answer. And their answer is that God, as the single and only Creator is t a factor in creation; and in fact God does t exist. But that something just blew up eons ago and formed the universe. The results of this explosion also unleashed life and what we see today evolved over many, many, thousands of years! Now, this definition of creation by its very explanations declares that when one is dead, one is done, forever! There are also those that say God does exist, and he can be anything anyone declares him to be! And one's worship of him is whatever the group guideline specifies. But the Judeo - Christian Bible disagrees with the premise of these previously stated claims, and any other claim that misrepresents the one true God of creation; who is also the God of the Jews. Anyone that is t seeking to hor and worship the one true God of Creation; the Father and God of Jesus Christ is caught up in false god and idol worship ! Every creature is admonished to believe the words and woks of Jesus: That His words and works during His earthly ministry are offered as proof that He is the Son of God; sacrificed His life for forgiveness of sin for the human race; on the third day of His death He (Jesus) was raised from the dead; and w He offers eternal resurrection life to whomsoever will come in faith, believing Him for that eternal life! I only kw of one personality in history that has ever said, I AM born to die for you ; but t just for you alone, but for the whole world? Generally, men just take from each other by bullying, stealing, killing, and destroying! So, when someone appears on the scene and declares, I AM born to die for you, one would think that such a herald would get everybody's attention, or at least make them curious! Wow! Here is someone, I did t kw and had reason to think they knew me, that says their life's ambition is to die for me! I do t kw what anyone else's question(s) would be, but mine is, What gives; Why do you think I need someone to die for me; and more importantly, Why are you volunteering? The Apostle Paul answered the question(s) this way: For when we were yet without strength (had part with, and was an offense to God), in due time Christ (Jesus) died for the ungodly (Rom 3:23 [For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God]; and Rom 5:12 [Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin: and so death passed upon all men, for/ because that all have sinned; and if t redeemed, shall be eternally lost). For scarcely (or unlikely) for a righteous man will one die: yet peradventure (or, let us suppose) for a good man some would even dare (or have courage eugh) to die. But God commendeth his love toward us, in that, while we were yet (neither righteous, r good; but) sinners, Christ (Jesus) died for us. Now, every other so called, spiritual head/ power/ deity I have ever heard of in the world demands something of their fellow beings/ followers: and the demand could be anything from some spiritual level you must attain on your part through human effort; the giving of something you possess; to something you must make others do, and/ or die (give up) for the cause ! In others words all of the effort and risk is on your shoulders, or on your part; and ne of the risk is on the spiritual power. Is t this so? Think of all the religions around the world, through the centuries, and then you decide! Consequently many, many people are eternally destroyed for a lack of kwledge; as they chose wrong commitments parading as God. Romans 5:6 through 5:8 Our book speaks of many of the details, but the Judeo - Christian Bible provides the complete story. And many dedicated believers often refer to this Bible Book as the plan of God to deliver the human race from eternal death and loss! Nothing is too hard for the LOR
