FK: Don’t you see the internal inconsistency here? If Christ’s resurrection ONLY made it POSSIBLE for us to be saved, THEN He did NOT rise to “restore our eternal life”. He only rose to make that possible.

Mark: No I don’t see any inconsistency

Neither do I, Mark. Christ did rise in order to restore our eternal life. He destoryed the power of death and broke the gates of Hades and let everyone out. But He did not force anyone; nor does He force anyone today. Instead, He offered salvation to all willing to come to Him. This is no different than saying "I opened the door for you, it's up to you to get out."

The Prots not only wait to be lead out, but expect Him to carry our luggage as well!

Early Christianity was called “Via”, the Way (in Latin). It is the Way of the Lord, not the comfy chair.
