More Easter....

Hey..... 🙁
I asked my friend to give me a bit more clarity on how to explain the whole Easter thing.... She said:

Explain that blood had to be shed to satisfy God's requirement for justice.
Jesus did that for us. It's as if we were condemned as murderers. Somebody
has to be punished for the murder. Imagine the judge setting you free and
instead having his own son put to death as a punishment. That's what God did
for us. Those requirements had to be satisfied and God satisfied them by
allowing his own son to die. But the big thing is... Jesus isn't still dead
today. He rose from the dead and because of that, we can be saved.

Just thought you'd like to know.

Very kind of her to explain, I'm sure, but that sort of thing only tends to wash on the converted. There are too many bloody questiond to answer for us poor non-believers, like what about all the poor sods who died BEFORE Jesus did all that for us?

the only thing was that jesus wasnt the only one who died on the cross for their religion so did many others so wot made him so special! and ow did that save us! and if it did we owe a lot of ppl our lives!

THe thing what made it different is that according to the Bible he was the Son of God, therefore perfect and without sin. THe Bible also says "death is the wages of sin" so He did not deserve it, yet he got it. That's what made it different.
Just imagine it as God being killed by his own creation to save it.

That's the explanation if you're Christian.

THe other is that you don't believe Jesus was NOT the Son of God and you follow the Easter Bunny.

🙄 *puts on her dumb bunny ears and looks for some chocolate eggs*

See! That works just as well..... obviously. 😄

*searches for the easterbunny*

Hubba hubba Dim, you look like a playboy girl with those ears on.

*Starts to chase Dim in speeded-up motion to music, like off The Benny Hill Show*

Benny Hill is awesome!

Was LW, he's not looking too hot these days.

Poor mech, now he has to find another hot old geezer! 😛

I think he found you. 😄

Steady you lot.

If I was gay, I sure wouldn't fancy coffin dodgers. 🙄

😂 🤣 😂
Oh my! 😉

ok back to the subject......I have asked my friend for her answer to Ush's early ques about the souls of people who died b/f Jesus' death, burial, and resurrection (I'm fairly certain I spelled that wrong 🙁 ).
She's far more eloquent than I am at explanations.

the Jews celebrated they're exodus at that time,
they forced us to watch a video about Jesus, so that's why I know this one

😕 you lost me....

Jews celebrate the exodus when christians celebrate Eastern
