Resurrection of Jesus

29 September 2015 “Jesus Freak” or Jesus Fake “Christian” is a common label in today’s society. Christians are supposedly people who believe the Truth of the Bible and accept the salvation that Jesus Christ offers. In 2012, the Pew Research Center performed a demographic study on “The Global Religious Landscape” that shows that Christians makes up 31.5 percent of the global population (“Global Religious Diversity”). While that percentage means 2.2 billion people claim Jesus as Lord and Savior,…

A scholar states “Jesus may not have died nailed to the cross because there is no evidence that the Romans crucified prisoners two thousand years ago.” The Descriptions of his death come from the traditions of The Christian Church and the artwork of it. We have NO written evidence or antique texts describing Jesus being crucified. “The Bible has been misinterpreted as there are no explicit references the use of nails or to crucifixion - only that Jesus bore a "staurus" towards Calvary which is…

According to the Bible, Christians believe Jesus died by crucifixion. However, according to the Quran, Muslims believe Jesus did not die by crucifixion. Instead, Muslims believe Jesus’ enemies planned to crucify him, but God’s saved Jesus and brought him up to him. In addition, if Jesus died by crucifixion, then Islam is false; but if Jesus did not die by crucifixion, then Christianity is false. Furthermore, after watching the debate, I think Jesus died by crucifixion because there are early…

Golgatha because there were rocks that formed a structure that resembled a skull, symbolizing death because it was an execution site (Mitch and Sri, 358).Before crucifixion, the wine was offered to lessen the pain, but the same soldiers who mocked Jesus with the crown of thorns put a poison called gall in the wine that sends "a bitter discharge from the liver to the gallbladder" (Mitch and Sri, 358).Soldiers show malice to the Jewish king (Mitch and Sri, 358).Christ refuses to drink the wine…

Nevertheless, these still aid in proving how unreasonable this teaching is. Firstly, if King is correct, then marriage has not existed since A.D. 70. Jesus clearly taught in Matthew 22:23-30 and Luke 20:27-35 that after the resurrection marriage no longer exists. With this in mind, if “Realized Eschatology” is true, millions of married couples have been committing fornication! Another unforeseen problem in this doctrine is the Lord’s supper…

In my opinion the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most important event in the history of humanity. And why is that, because it allows everybody who has accepted Jesus Christ as your Lord and savior to have everlasting life. On December 25, A.D. God sent his one and only son, in his image, to spread his word and teach his truths. Jesus performed miracles such as making the blind see and helping the lame to walk. He performed such miracles as feeding five thousand people by…
