I'll use my friend,Miles,to make the point:
If you tell me that a long time ago Miles died, was buried, and then rose from the grave, I can't testify to the validity of that.
But.......if Miles is settin' in a chair next to me, I can guarantee you he is alive today, and that's what's important to me.

Gene since you honored me to make a point, I will try to make one also. I have heard lots of people talk about the soul being saved for a new body after the resurrection, and how it would be impossible. We humans do basically the same thing, by transferring info from one computer to another, through the air by phone or Bluetooth, or other methods. AND, I don't suppose that we are nowhere near as smart as God. miles
Look out for number 1, don't step in number 2.

Miles, when I was about three years old Mama made some gingerbread. Nobody could have convinced me that this world held anything better than having all the gingerbread and cold milk I wanted.
Then I discovered other things as I grew older, some of them having to do with girls, that made gingerbread pale in comparison.
Our speculation about the hereafter is sort of like me and my gingerbread, I expect.

I figger that for someone that created an entire, vast, universe out of nothing with just a thought, the promises of the Bible are a piece of cake.

Whenever I have my doubts, I just stop and look around me at how perfect nature is, and realize that it didn't just "happen" or evolve. Someone, a much higher being, is responsible, and if He can do that, He can certainly give us life after death.

Happy Easter folks.
I love the fact Easter happens in Spring when flowers are returning from their graves. Nothing makes me feel more thankful than a beautiful day, fields full of colors, budding trees and the return of life. Coincidence?

I believe in Jesus,folks. I am very science based myself but science has never explained the wonderment of all we see adequately . I find the big bang theory more unbelievable as time passes...getting something from nothing-chemically. All the science in this world will tell you this is not possible.Until they come up with something more credible I will stick with the act of creation...Tony + Happy Easter

It is irrelevant what you think. What matters is the TRUTH.

Happy Easter, brothers and friends
if a man speaks, and there isn't a woman around to hear him, is he still wrong?

What a day - EASTER !!
And what's more, two wise and deep fellows that I very much respect are at the top of a thread marking this day - and waxing reflective.
Christ has risen - He has risen indeed ! May the overwhelming significance of this day fill your heart and soul with joy !

Gene, Miles - how are you guys? Doing well, Doc. The older kids probably remember the tornado, don't they? Since they only saw the aftermath, they may have thought Ed's place always looked like that.😀
