A. THREE FUNDAMENTALS
1. IF JESUS CHRIST WAS NOT RAISED FROM DEATH, WE HAVE NO SURE HOPE, OR TRUTH, OR KNOWLEDGE OF ANY KIND .
2. ALL BORN OF ADAM MUST DIE, AND DEATH IS TOTAL ABSENCE** OF LIFE!
**Contrary to Satan’s Lie to Eve (Gen.3:4), which is Plato’s Lie also.
3. ETERNAL LIFE IS THE GIFT OF GOD, THROUGH JESUS CHRIST HIS SON, TO HIS SAINTS ALONE ON RESURRECTION DAY.
HALLELUJAH!!
