The Atonement of Jesus Christ is constantly under attack by the world. We are constantly challenged to present proof that someone could be resurrected and mocked when the ignorant presume their own superiority. But there is proof of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ outside the Bible. Here is that proof.

The Real History of Easter and Its Symbols
I’m sure that you have heard that Easter is not a Christian holiday, that it is actually a pagan holiday that Christians copied or stole and that the name Easter comes from the pagan goddess Eostre that used to be worshipped on this day. You may have also heard that the reason rabbits and eggs are associated with Easter is because they are signs of sexual fertility and were symbols of the pagan goddess Eostre. This all sounds very convincing. There is just one problem.
None of it is true.
Easter is a completely Christian holiday that has nothing to do with paganism at all.
And here is the historical proof.
Great Profiles in Courage: Mary Dyer Executed for Religious Liberty
Mary Dyer is one of the greatest examples of true Christianity in American history. A member of the Society of Friends, a Quaker, she stood up against one of the most authoritarian and autocratic societies to ever exist in North America, the Puritan ran Massachusetts Bay Colony. While plenty of people talk about liberty and religious freedom, Mary did more than talk – she lived and died asserting her basic human rights in the face of a brutalist and oppressive society that would deny her basic rights because of her faith. She is a shining example of what it means to love liberty more than life and what it means to truly live pure Christianity. Her example is a righteous example to us all.
This Is What It Is Like After You Die
People have been asking the question of what happens after you die for tens of thousands of years, for millions of years. As long as humans have existed. It has been said that if you could bring someone back from the dead and ask them about what, if anything, happens next it would be the most important thing any of us ever could learn.
Well, you don’t have to wonder anymore. It has happened. People have died. They have had intimate visions of what happens after death. And they have returned to life to explain what they experienced and what we need to do to prepare in this life for the next. This is just such an account, a vision of the next world as shown by God to Elder Jedidiah M. Grant, Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ.
Revealed here is what a modern-day Prophet, Seer, and Revelator saw when he looked beyond the veil of death and into the world of spirits.
This is what happens after you die.
This is what the afterlife is like.
This is what comes next.
