Resurrection of Jesus

The first four Gospels of the New Testament, Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John, all present information about the same things; Jesus’s birth, life, ministry, death, and resurrection. Through them we find out how Jesus was born, Jesus’s teachings, about the followers and disciples of Jesus, miracles, and Jesus’s final days. Most of the gospels seem to paint the same picture, it is even widely accepted that the Gospels of Matthew, and Luke were largely based on or influenced by the Gospel of Mark.…

Do you believe that Jesus Christ died on the cross and rose again on the third day after his death according to the scriptures? This mystery that occured in the early first century A.D. is the kindle of a flame that is Christianity today. Christianity, by atheists, is seen as a religion that is false and one where the followers are mindlessly following a God that isn't real. Some have even gone far enough attempt to find all the evidence in the world to disprove the resurrection and ultimately…

The fact that most Christians live and swear by is that Jesus Christ lived, died and resurrected while saving the world from its sins and ever since, has granted forgiveness. This is the doctrine which many hold dear and true to their hearts. Many still, however, know very little about Christ as an individual and his interactions on earth with people like us. The primary truth about Jesus Christ is that he is the son of God who represents all truth and justice in the flesh. Because he is the…

Proof for the historicity of the Bible & Proof for the historical Resurrection of Jesus In all my proofs, I quote Scripture to justify my views. I believe that Scripture is living, true and is above the law. I know that the Scripture is right and true because first, why would God give His people who he loves a book that is full of lies? Second, the amount of original manuscripts of the New Testament in Greek alone is over 5,800. With that many original manuscripts, it is obvious that the Bible…

Review of Philip Yancey’s The Jesus I Never Knew In The Jesus I Never Knew, Philip Yancey’s unpretentious and unbiased examination of Jesus’ earthly walk, it is almost as if Mr. Yancey is interviewing Jesus himself. He candidly shares his personal doubts, fears and preconceptions from his own American twentieth century fundamental Christian upbringing, but attempts to set all that aside and look at the historical evidence available from several perspectives. With his unique journalistic…

and the Jesus Seminar has been an ongoing struggle since 1985. The Jesus Seminar, founded by Robert Funk, originated in 1985 as around 70 biblical scholars set out to determine the legitimacy of Jesus’ sayings (Dart). The Seminar focused on the historicity of Jesus using the best methods of science and literary criticism as it pertains to the Bible. Funk believed that the gospel writers had made Jesus into a “larger than life” figure in order to satisfy their religious desires. The Jesus…

(Acts 2:1-12, 4:32). They were a community of believers (Acts 2:42-47) who were all witnesses to the resurrection and truth that Jesus was, in fact, God (Acts 2:32, 3:15, 4:2). As God’s true people, were called to accomplish God’s will in the redemption of the nations (Acts 5:30-31, 24:14-16). 1.2. My Identity As a baptized believer in truth of God’s Word and the death and resurrection of Jesus, I am a member of God’s diverse church. As a witness and servant of the Lord, I am partaking in…

gospel that does not use parables as a way of telling us how Jesus taught and is the only account of several events, such as Jesus turning water into wine. The Gospel of John was written anonymously but many theologians believe that it was written by the apostle John sometime around 95 CE in Ephesus. The basic story is that of a testimonial of one of the Apostles and his version of how Jesus comes about. It begins by telling the birth of Jesus and then goes on to prove that he is the Son of God…

angels is one of God’s secrets; there’s a crowd of them. The term “guardian angel” does not appear in the Bible; however, there are some verses which teach that God, on occasions, has used angels to guard His children. (Psalms 34:7; Psalms 91:11) When Jesus talked about some little children, He referred to “Their angels” (Matt. 18:10). Now, it’s altogether possible that He was referring to a group of angels in heaven rather than each person having an angel assigned to them. However, the Bible…
