Debate: Is there life after death?
Side: Yes, Heaven awaits!

Chuck Missler has been a recent find. He is not my only sourse, since I literally first heard of him a few weeks ago. But he has become a faborite source. I explain that because He has well written examples. So that is why I'm ref him in many examphes.http://www.khouse.org/enewsarticle/2011/1765/http://www.khouse.org/enewsarticle/2011/1765/I dont follow man, I expect God to show me, and He does. Holy Spirit is alive and dwells within His sheep. But we recognize truth in others. Sheep know the voice of Jesus and can hear truth. Again these are a drop in a bucket of piles of evidence "And I will pour on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem the Spirit of grace and supplication; then they will look on Me whom they pierced…" - Zechariah 12:10 "…Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:" - Luke 24:46John the Baptist wore camel's hair and ate locusts and wild honey (Matt 3:4). And by the Spirit, John recognized the true purpose of Jesus of Nazareth from the beginning, before Jesus' ministry had even started. John introduced Jesus to the crowds in John 1:29, saying, "Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world." John understood. He got it.After his resurrection, Jesus met two men on the road to Emmaus, and he expected them to already understand through the Scriptures that Christ was meant to suffer and die. "And beginning at Moses and all the prophets, he expounded unto them in all the scriptures the things concerning himself," (Luke 24:26-27). We would all have loved to be there on the road to Emmaus that day, walking with the resurrected Jesus himself as he detailed the different prophecies that concerned his death and resurrection. Still, the apostles and other New Testament writers do a good job of filling us in. The Old Testament is filled with prophecies and types of Jesus' suffering and death and resurrection as payment for the sins of the world, and the New Testament points those out. Psalm 16: 8-11Simon Peter starts out on the day of Pentecost explaining that Jesus the Messiah had risen from the dead, "Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it," (Acts 2:24). Peter then pulled from the Psalms to prove the truth of his testimony."For David speaketh concerning him, I foresaw the Lord always before my face, for he is on my right hand, that I should not be moved: Therefore did my heart rejoice, and my tongue was glad; moreover also my flesh shall rest in hope: Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Thou hast made known to me the ways of life; thou shalt make me full of joy with thy countenance."Men and brethren, let me freely speak unto you of the patriarch David, that he is both dead and buried, and his sepulchre is with us unto this day. Therefore being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him, that of the fruit of his loins, according to the flesh, he would raise up Christ to sit on his throne; He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption. This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses." - Act 2:24-32The sacrifice and resurrection of the Messiah are throughout the Old Testament. Psalm 22, written by King David a millennium before Christ, gives us the very perspective of the Lord hanging on the cross. It describes how the people mocked Christ (Psalm 22:7-8; Mat 27:41-43), how they cast lots to divide up his clothes (Psalm 22:18; Mat 27:35), how his bones were out of joint (Psalm 22:14), how the wicked had surrounded him and pierced his hands and feet (Psalm 22:16) – the scars of which Thomas later got to touch and feel (John 20:27). Psalm 22 ends by saying God's righteousness would be declared to "a people that shall be born" (Psalm 22:31). http://www.khouse.org/enewsarticle/2011/1765/http://www.khouse.org/enewsarticle/2011/1765/In Psalm 22 - crucifixtion not practiced yet. But here is an excerpt, it sounds like prophesy of crucifixion. David did not experience this. Yet he wrote it. There are 28 scriptures just in psalms that were fulfilled in Jesus!Ps 2214 I am poured out like water, and all my bones are out of joint: my heart is like wax; it is melted in the midst of my bowels. (Bleeding from cuts and whipping, and also piercing His side. And internal bleeding)( bones out of joint! That would be from hanging with stress pulling on His joints) 15 My strength is dried up like a potsherd; and my tongue cleaveth to my jaws; and thou hast brought me into the dust of death.(Weakened by the beatings, and parched of thirst, He called for a drink, they gave Him vinegar on a sponge)16 For dogs have compassed me: the assembly of the wicked have inclosed me: they pierced my hands and my feet.(Did Jesus tell the guards to pierce His hands and feet? This didn't happen to David, and it wasnt practiced. So where did the thought come from?)17 I may tell all my bones: they look and stare upon me.(It will be a public display, a public humiliation)18 They part my garments among them, and cast lots upon my vesture. (And they did this too)Is 534 Surely our griefs He Himself bore,And our sorrows He carried;Yet we ourselves esteemed Him stricken,Smitten of God, and afflicted.5 But He was pierced through for our transgressions,He was crushed for our iniquities;The chastening for our well-being fell upon Him,And by His scourging we are healed.6 All of us like sheep have gone astray,Each of us has turned to his own way;But the Lord has caused the iniquity of us allTo fall on Him.7 He was oppressed and He was afflicted,Yet He did not open His mouth;Like a lamb that is led to slaughter,And like a sheep that is silent before its shearers,So He did not open His mouth.8 By oppression and judgment He was taken away;And as for His generation, who consideredThat He was cut off out of the land of the livingFor the transgression of my people, to whom the stroke was due?9 His grave was assigned with wicked men,Yet He was with a rich man in His death,Because He had done no violence,Nor was there any deceit in His mouth.10 But the Lord was pleasedTo crush Him, putting Him to grief;If He would render Himself as a guilt offering,He will see His offspring,He will prolong His days,And the good pleasure of the Lord will prosper in His hand.11 As a result of the anguish of His soul,He will see it and be satisfied;By His knowledge the Righteous One,My Servant, will justify the many,As He will bear their iniquities.
