Ever heard that little phrase “Life’s hard, then you die”?…
““Ever heard that little phrase “Life’s hard, then you die”? Well, that’s a pretty hopeless outlook on life, and it’s definitely not what the Bible clearly teaches. Yes, life is sometimes very hard and very unpredictable. Yes, everyone eventually dies. But in God’s message to you, there’s more to it! There’s more to life than what you can see and more to your story than just time itself. You want proof? Okay. Conscience. You have a conscience. Here’s what I mean. How can biological matter spontaneously develop conscience? That’s like saying I can hurt my refrigerator’s feelings! Conscience is a soul thing—a spiritual thing—and meat doesn’t generate spiritual events. Meat is just meat—it doesn’t feel good or bad—it just sits there and rots once life has departed. I’m not trying to be crude, just clear.””
