The Resurrection Never Happened Life

Decent Essays
If the resurrection never happened life would be piontless, and it would not even matter what you do. However, it is nearly impossible for Christs ressurrection to be false. From the time the resurrection truely took place to the time the resurrection was accually put into words was to long of a time between each other for it to be fabricated. Also the accounts concerning the resurrection in the Bible are too problematic. Hundreds of first hand accounts were recored claiming they saw Jesus as a raised man. If the Bible only stated the tomb was empty it would be assumed that the body was just stolen. If just the meetings with Jesus was recorded everybody would think it was a just dream being mentioned in the Bible. Although, if you but the empty

    Mark Taylor spends the entire book dealing with the issue of Lockdown America. Lockdown America re-encompasses issues like the over militarization of the police force as well as the mass incarceration of the American population specifically that of colored people. But this chapter more specifically deals with the dramatic action carried out through Jesus’ death, the political implications of His death, the powers of fear and fascination, and how governments will use it to control a population. To start Taylor explains that often violent assaults as well as passive endurance fail to make a lasting impression with the oppressed long enough to rally aid and further action. The two types of political protest also fail to change the actions of those…

    Firstly, my spiritual belief is one of the cultural lenses that I believe has majorly affected my view on the dispute of life after death. When I was sixteen years old, I made the biggest and dare I say, the greatest decision in my life, which was: receiving my Lord Jesus Christ. Because of my faith, I believe that once you die, you either go to heaven or you go to hell. Secondly, one of the cultural lenses that I believe has molded the attitude I have towards work ethic is my race.…

    8. Keller addresses the issue of the resurrection and the historical proof for this event. Keller admits there will never be conclusive proof, like in a science lab, to manifest the resurrection. However, given the Biblical accounts and the events that occurred afterwards, there is solid evidence of the resurrection. There were documented witnesses who saw Christ after he had risen, and there were actual people testifying years after Jesus’ ascension.…

    New Agers object Christianity’s beliefs for a few reason. New Agers believe that reincarnation seems to make more sense than God sending people to Hell for mishaps. “Christians believe God will send people to hell because of their bad deeds. How can people believe that a God of love would punish anyone by sending him or her to hell? Reincarnation seems so much more just” (Halverson, 1996, p. 168).…

And because of the resurrection back then, today we can preach that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that He was buried and the most important thing that He was raised from the dead on the third day according to the Scriptures.…

During Jesus’ time on this earth, He used the claim “I AM” to describe himself throughout all His teachings. The Gospel of John shows at least eight different times Jesus says this. Seven of these claims were accompanied by signs to back up His words.…
