That's true, John. I think that either way, for some Christians, it is an important devotional focus, allowing one to "participate" in the reality of Christ's crucifixion.

Thought about it? Do you mean science thinks this stuff up? Just what is the difference between science and science fiction? |

The most I believe we have is 30 years, if we even have that long to go before the Church dispensation or the age of Grace comes to an end.
If anyone has any evidence that can show the age we live in is more or less than 2000 years, then I would be happy to look at that. |

Everyone gets to "participate" in calvery. There were three crosses, and everyone has to choose one of those three. Two of those crosses go to Paradise, one does not. To many people on this forum seem to want to choose the cross of the mocker. |

Matthew 7:13-14
"Enter by the narrow gate; for wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction, and there are many who go in by it. [14] Because narrow is the gate and difficult is the way which leads to life, and there are few who find it.
I can not make you do anything. It is your choice if you want to enter in by the narrow gate that leads to life. Or the wide gate that leads to blasphemy and destruction. |

you are destroying my faith in the human race. I must assume that you are a troll, because I fail to see how someone can misunderstand so much.
