If Jesus Christ is Not Risen, Our Faith is Worthless. (Paul Washer)

(This may be the best clip of Paul Washer I've seen. When you watch this, keep in mind what the title says: "If Jesus Christ is not risen, our faith is in vain." (As Paul states in 1Corinthians 15.) But also realize, "now he is risen" about 2000 years ago. Long before anyone reading this came out of their mother, he was already risen from the dead. I think many people live their lives thinking that when they believe on Him, then he'll be risen from the dead, but the truth is he already has long before we even had an inkling of following Him and loving Him.)


Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also you have received, and in which you stand; By which also you are saved, if you keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless you have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures: And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of over five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain until now, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one untimely born. For I am the least of the apostles, who am not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I labored more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me. Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so you believed. Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; you are yet in your sins. Then they also who are fallen asleep in Christ have perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most to be pitied. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept.

(1Co 15:1-20)

@ThePredatorElder

Do you have a functioning brain? Do you ever question or even think about what you write? I know, just the thought of THINKING is scary to you. You are merely a drone that spews nothing but meaningless quotes from a work of fiction. People like you and the charlatan on display in the above video should be laughed at and ridiculed for believing such nonsense- you are like a ball and chain on the ankle of human advancement.

@easyas314 Creepy indeed

@avoeloos 5 The Lord is at your right hand;

he will crush kings on the day of his wrath.

6 He will judge the nations, heaping up the dead

and crushing the rulers of the whole earth.

7 He will drink from a brook along the way,

and so he will lift his head high

-What is His name or His son's name? Surely you know!

(Proverbs 30:4)

[ThePredatorElder]

@avoeloos 2 The LORD will extend your mighty scepter from Zion, saying,

"Rule in the midst of your enemies!"

3 Your troops will be willing

on your day of battle.

Arrayed in holy splendor,

your young men will come to you

like dew from the morning's womb.

@avoeloos Old testament:

-The LORD says to my Lord:

"Sit at my right hand

until I make your enemies

a footstool for your feet."
