Historically, even non-Christians acknowledge Jesus's existence and empty tomb. 1 Corinthians 15 explains death entered through Adam, our ancestor, but through Christ, a new lineage of life is offered. Believing in Jesus grafts us into this living lineage, ensuring our future resurrection like Christ, the firstfruit.
Arachnophobia, like the fear of death, is common, yet unwarranted for those with faith in Christ. As Paul's words to the Corinthians express, death's sting is negated by Jesus' sacrifice. Believers need not fear death; it's merely a passage to eternal life, a victory and hope through resurrection afforded by faith in Jesus.

Someone not long ago asked this question how many people did our Lord Jesus heal during the three years of his public ministry?
I have my father's memory. These are the words that I speak to somebody when I've forgotten something that I was going to tell them, or I forgot something that they told me.
Have you ever heard of the word Triune or Trinity before? If so, you've maybe connected it to the Christian church.
