1 Corinthians 15:12-19 ~ Resurrection of the dead

How did Halloween become today's decorations and not an overly Religious Holiday?

All Hallows' Eve, is a holiday observed on October 31, the evening before All Saints' (or All Hallows') Day. The celebration marks the day before the Western Christian feast of All Saints and initiates the season of Allhallowtide, which lasts three days and concludes with All Souls' Day.

Even in very pagan times, people believed on All Hallows Eve, the souls of the dead returned to their homes, so people dressed in costumes and lit bonfires to ward off spirits. Hiding from the dead.

How did it become fun and more or less fake spooky?

God is in a very serious line of work. And I fully believe and know, I am entirely grateful God is God Himself.

1 Corinthians 15:12-19

Now if Christ is proclaimed as raised from the dead, how can some of you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?

 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised. 

14 And if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain and your faith is in vain. 

15 We are even found to be misrepresenting God, because we testified about God that he raised Christ, whom he did not raise if it is true that the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised. 

17 And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile

 and you are still in your sins. 

18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 

19 If in Christ we have hope in this life only, we are of all people most to be pitied.

Celts had a festival called Samhain.  

New Christians be brave, don't hide from the dead, the dead are at peace. So, the costumes changed. It's cute, and our children don't have to be named at age five and swaddled on the wall for a couple of years. We can celebrate the long lives, the forever lives of our children.  No more spooky with making fun of spooky.

We can laugh at death. We will live.

When we are young, we see the death of Jesus as a young man with Promise.

As we go forward in life, we see Good Friday as the death of a Son. God's Son. Our Savior.

Going through Life, we will see Good Friday from many aspects at the Table of God. This is my thoughts on my relationship with Father God.

God is a Father. God explains Scripture with positive approaches to Good Care of our emotions. We can look at Scripture constantly to find God is Fathering us. God explains His own Nature in Jesus Christ and on Good Friday.

God explains how He felt about Jesus dying.

Ready the man  - Who had healed the blind, lame, deaf, lepers and brought sons and daughters back to life - for death.

Reality.

God Himself is going to have a reaction to this.

The Light of the World. Is Jesus Christ.

Evidence today of the earthquake:

The Temple experienced the Earthquake and the Veil to the Holy of Holies was torn.

For two millenniums, Christian Historians site non-Christian Historical references to earthquakes and darkness on Good Friday. Historians argue over text and verbs and placements of words. We would have to say 3 secular Historians of this era point out earthquake and darkness history, resulting in 2 millenniums of arguments over this history.

To analyze earthquake activity in the region, geologist Jefferson Williams of Supersonic Geophysical and colleagues Markus Schwab and Achim Brauer of the German Research Center for Geosciences studied three cores from the beach of the Ein Gedi Spa adjacent to the Dead Sea.

Varves, which are annual layers of deposition in the sediments, reveal that at least two major earthquakes affected the core: a widespread earthquake in 31 B.C. and an early first-century seismic event that happened sometime between 26 A.D. and 36 A.D.

The latter period occurred during “the years when Pontius Pilate was procurator of Judea and when the earthquake of the Gospel of Matthew is historically constrained,” Williams said.

Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow. Living His Story. History. Earthquake Science has been reliable.

Israel today sits on a major earthquake fault and their government discusses and dreads a 7 point earthquake seismic event. All architecture built since 1980 is coded to be saved from earthquakes on a 4 point seismic scale.

Daylight returned.  

Brave men went to Pontius Pilate - who had murdered men and women on High Jewish Holidays before and requested the Body of Jesus Christ. Pilate was merciful to release the Body of Jesus to them.

And the Tomb of Jesus Christ was sealed and protected by soldiers.

John 3:16-17

For God so loved the world, that he gave his only Son, 

whoever believes in Jesus Christ should not perish 

but have eternal life. 

For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, 

but in order that the world might be saved 

through Jesus Christ.

Abba, Holy Father,

We rely on Your Willing Blessings each day.

In Jesus, on Good Friday, any time of the day, any year, any season 

- this is our Rock and our Deliverer. Wonderful of God.

In Your Son, Jesus, we will Rejoice. Every Day.

Blessed be our Father, The Lord God Almighty, maker of Heaven and earth. Creator of All Things and His Son, Jesus Christ. Wonderful.

Amen and Amen and Amen in 

Jesus Christ the Lord.

Autumn can be both beautiful and gloomy as the earth prepares to sleep

Halloween kicks out the idea sleep is forever

1 Corinthians 12 

17 If the whole body were an eye, where would the sense of hearing be? 

If the whole body were an ear, where would the sense of smell be? 

18 But in fact God has placed the parts in the body, 

every one of them, just as he wanted them to be. 

19 If they were all one part, where would the body be? 

20 As it is, there are many parts, but one body.
