I am! Thank you, Lord!

Of course I am very thankful for that,because it means that my sins are forgiven,and I can now live a life of victory.It also signifies that i can have abundant and eternal life in Heaven after death,(John 3:16 in the Bible,which quotes ''For God so Loved the world that He gave His one and only begotten Son,that who ever believes in Him,shall not perish,but have Eternal Life'') because Jesus is not a dead God,as his ressurection proves that he is a living God that reigns in the lives of those who believe in Him and have received Salvation.(John 14:6 in the Bible quotes ''I (Jesus) am The Way,The Truth,and The Life,no one comes to the Father(God)except through Me'')His death on the cross signifies that He has conquered death and that's the ultimate reason why we are saved from our sins by his grace,and we do not have to suffer in hell because his unconditional love has claimed that we can now live a guilt free life,because it's his love that has covered a multitude of sin.
Just something to ponder on from my youth pastor,which i think is meaningful to celebrate Easter:
His Destiny: The Cross
His Purpose:Love
His Reason:Us

No because it comes down to self responsibility
Why would you be thankful for someone else dyeing for your sins
If I did something wrong I would want to face the consequences for myself
Jesus came to Master Life and from that became a Reiki Master & Spiritual Master, Jesus’ teachings about love and forgiveness and promote these methods as ways to cure personal and worldly ills.
The claims are substantiated by the reported absence of Jesus from Biblical record for 12 years during his lifetime when he is supposed to have come to India in Kashmir and have studied under Buddhist Bhikkus from where Christianity takes its missionary aspects. But the question still remains of Radha who is not mentioned in the Bible and of the sixteen thousand Gopis of Lord Sri-Krishna. Hence, for everything that these scholars say, their romantic and controversial theory could as well be baseless imagination built around a few co-incidences.
Instead of taking what you read in the bible for granted why don't you just research Jesus himself you maybe amazed at what you find out so much has been taken from the Bible how can you take it on face value don't you ever wonder why they took so much out of the Bible ?
Love & Blessings

No, I'd like it better if he lived and answered for his outlandish claims. When was the last time you moved a mountain? If you have faith the size of a mustard seed, you should be able to do it, right? Or was Jesus lying for dramatic effect?

Well, the concept of another person dying for you might fill some people with joy, but I fail to see how telling someone that they are responsible for an innocent man being humiliated, tortured, and killed, is beneficial.

Yes I am. Why do you ask? Are you having doubts about your own mortality? Dry your eyes and ask your mom and dad for some help. You will find that, the older you get, the smarter they get.
Good Luck

no. i don't believe that someone died for me 2000 years ago, so therefore i can't be thankful for that.
if people believe in that, it's ok with me, it's just not FOR me
have a great easter weekend!

Actually, I'm sad the Jews were able to kill him. Here was a guy with great ideas who was really trying to help people, and they brutally killed him for it.
