Why choose Satan over Jesus?{{quote | text={{Bible verse|1 Corinthians|15|3|lang=WEB}} {{Bible verse|1 Corinthians|15|4|lang=WEB}} [[1 Corinthians 15]]:3-4}}{{Infobox_Contents | topic_name = The Good News | subtopics = [[Great Commission]], [[Mission]]* [[Gospels]] | opinion_pieces = {{short_opinions}} | }}
Consider- Satan has the traits of a hero. Rather than supinely lie down and accept subservience to another spirit, he followed his own path, that of a leader, even though it was not the sure and easy path. Consider the story of man's fall- Satan gave man knowledge, acting as the christian version of Prometheus. And yet the christians reject him, choosing the one that would keep them comfortably enslaved! And furthermore, they choose him so that when they die, they can live in numb enslavement for eternity!
Now considerThe Gospel is the good news of [[Jesus Christ]] - the word literally means "Good News". It is the news that our [[forgiveness]] and [[salvation]] comes through his death and resurrection. The word is also used to denote the four narratives of Jesus life in the [[New Testament]], for example, the [[gospel of John]]. ===Derivation and usage=== In [[Christianity]], '''gospel''' derives from the Old English word for "good news". In the New Testament it is a translation of the [[Greek]] word [[Greek:Ευαγγελιον|evangelion]]. The word gospel is generally used in two ways:* To denote the proclamation of God's saving activity in Jesus Christ or to denote the message proclaimed by Jesus. This is the original New Testament usage (see [[Romans 1:1]] or [[Mark 1:1]]). * As a proper name in referring to the four canonical Gospels of [[Gospel of Matthew|Matthew]], [[Gospel of Mark|Mark]], [[Gospel of Luke|Luke]] and [[Gospel of John|John]] and sometimes other non- canonical works (such as [[Gospel of Thomas]]), that offer a narrative of the life, death and resurrection of Jesus . The term gospel was an antiused by the [[apostle Paul]] when he reminded the church at Corinth of the gospel he had preached to them ([[1 Corinthians 15:1]]). He characterized it in the simplest terms, emphasizing Christ's appearances after the Resurrection (15:1-hero8): :Now I would remind you, brothers, of the gospel I preached to you, which you received, in which you stand, and by which you are being saved, if you hold fast to the word I preached to you -- unless you believed in vain. Too weak For I delivered to exert change you as of first importance what I also received: that Christ died for our sins in accordance with the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the world himselfthird day in accordance with the Scriptures, and that he was only able appeared to Cephas, then to martyr himself in the ultimate act twelve. Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers at one time, most of passive-agression and let others usurp whom are still alive, though some have fallen asleep. Then he appeared to James, then to all the power balanceapostles. Is it any wonder why Last of all, as to one untimely born, he should be rejected?appeared also to me.
