8. You said “Fool”
…twice!
“My mom says that’s a cuss word!”
Won’t that send you to hell? (Matthew 5:21-22)
This must be serious to God if He said it.

9. No God? Who says that? Pretty much nobody!
God and His judgment are the #1 expletive in the English language
Everyone has a god
Is the Bible wrong then? Nope.

Not an absolute denial
They who dismiss God’s authority
They who disregard God’s expectations
They who deny accountability to God
They who distrust God’s character
All related and progressive

God’s authority
Power over life and death

God’s expectations
The wages of sin is death
The promise in the beginning
The promise for all time

Accountability to God
It’s personal
It’s personal and individual

15. The Resurrection and The Fool
The character of God
God’s love
God’s justice
God’s righteousness
God’s power to forgive
God’s power to save from hell
