31. THE SPIRITUAL VIEW OF HIS DEATH Then an amazing thing happens in the temple
in Jerusalem ... the priceless 6-inch thick veil
covering the Holy of Holies is ripped from top

"Father, into thy
hands I commend
my spirit: and
having said thus,
he gave up the
ghost." Luke 23:46

' "The Great Resurrection Hoax" by Josh McDowell, Liberation
Tapes, P.O. Box 6044, Lubbock, Texas 79413 ··Matt. 28:4
Marsha, now do you under- The Bible says: ~ Fo r all have si nned and come short of
the glory of God." (Ro m. 3:23) And again : "As it is written,

34. Today sin has become a big joke... most people
believe God is going to wink at their sins.
THE BIBLE SAYS ... "Be not deceived; God is not
mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall
he also reap." Galatians 6:7
Marsha accepted God's
gift ...
"... the gift of God is eternal
life (in Heaven) through Jesus
Christ our Lord." Romans 6:23
No one ever spoke more about
hell or warned people to miss it
like the Lord Jesus did...
When you. stand before God on the day of judgement, as you surely
will , and are not protected by the blood of Christ.. He will look at you
with His eyes blazing and say, "Dep art from me , ye cursed into
everlasting fire , prepared for the devil and his angels."
*..... it IS appointed unto men
... THE CHOICE IS YOURS once to die, but after this the
judgement. " Hebrews 9'27
THE BIBLE SAYS THERE'S ONLY ONE WAY TO HEAVEN!
