   Think of who is the audience. The audience for something like this would   
   supposedly be people who do not believe in God and the Bible. For such,   
   the Bible prescribes the gospel, not getting into arguments about   
   anthropology. In Acts 17, Paul spent no more than 30 seconds talking   
   about the God of creation before he transitioned to the gospel, which is   
   the power of God.   
      
         “For I am not ashamed of the gospel, for it is the power of God   
          for salvation to everyone who believes, to the Jew first and   
          also to the Greek.” (Romans 1:16, ESV)   
      
         “So faith comes from hearing, and hearing through the word of   
          Christ.” (Romans 10:17, ESV)   
      
         “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. For I delivered to 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 third day in accordance with the   
          Scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.”   
          (1 Corinthians 15:1–5, ESV)   
      
         “But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach to you a   
          gospel contrary to the one we preached to you, let him be   
          accursed. As we have said before, so now I say again: If anyone   
          is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received,   
          let him be accursed.” (Galatians 1:8–9, ESV)   
      
   That's the true, saving gospel. Men are saved by faith in Christ's   
   substitutionary atonement for their sins, not by their own physical   
   deaths, and not by losing an argument about anthropology. The fact you   
   do not proclaim the same gospel as the apostles did shows you are an   
   heretical fraud.   
      
   --   
   Have you heard the good news Christ died for our sins (†), and God   
   raised Him from the dead?   
      
   That Christ died for our sins shows we're sinners who deserve the death   
   penalty. That God raised Him from the dead shows Christ's death   
   satisfied God's righteous demands against our sin (Romans 3:25; 1 John   
   2:1-2). This means God can now remain just, while forgiving you of your   
   sins, and saving you from eternal damnation.   
      
   On the basis of Christ's death and resurrection for our sins, call on   
   the name of the Lord to save you: "For 'everyone who calls on the name   
   of the Lord will be saved'" (Romans 10:13, ESV).
