Resurrection of Jesus

vain, and we are still in our sins. Indeed, Christianity hinges on the reality that Jesus died and was raised—never to experience death again. Left on its own, there is nothing revolutionary about the claim of life after death, nearly every religion attempts to answer that question. The significance of the resurrection is that through it, Jesus proved that He was the Messiah. With the Greek terms for resurrection (anastasis and egeiro) occurring multiple times in the speeches of Acts, there is…

important quality of Jesus’s was he was a consoler. His caring qualities are illustrated in Matthew Chapter 8. Jesus was teaching on a mountain and was followed by great crowds. As he descended the mountain, a leper approached him and Jesus cures the man’s leprosy. To promote the kingdom of God he so firmly believes in, Jesus brings consolation to people who are suffering. The Gospels portray Jesus as a benevolent man who…

account of the resurrection recorded in Matthew 28, presents a clear proof of the resurrection of Christ. The author emphasises the resurrection, the report of the guard, and the great commission in the final chapter of Matthew.

Fundamental Theology”, O’Collins provides an analysis of the ideas surrounding the legitimacy of the revelation surrounding Jesus’ resurrection. O’Collins’ primary argument is that in order to believe in God, we must also believe in those who personally bore witness to his divinity. O’Collins goes on to outline three positions academics take with regards to the legitimacy of the resurrection. These include: (1) faith without reason, (2) faith based on evidence and (3) the subjective and…

principle that the only way to salvation is through impartial faith in Jesus. In the pamphlet, it that’s that “He will save you if you trust Jesus Christ as your Lord and Savior,” which is biblically supported. In the Gospel of John, Jesus affirms the reality that “no one comes to the father except through [Jesus]” (John 14:6). The pamphlet illustrates this point further beyond just the basic concept that salvation is through faith in Jesus, but also impartial faith. The “Eternal Gift” argues…

Church. It is the belief that the humanity of Jesus is mere a disguise, and actually Jesus is God. This belief is against many doctrines that the Church agrees with. Docetism denies the Incarnation because it is believed that Jesus is an image of God, and God does not need to be made into a human. The belief is based on that “matter was evil, and hence that God would not take on a material body”. Since “Christ was born without any participation of matter”, Jesus is not a true human being but…

the author uses several miracles of Jesus to show that the miraculous acts are specific in nature and directed toward achieving the goals stated in John 20:31. The intention is to understand Jesus is the Messiah and to provide a means of eternal life.1 However, among scholars sometimes there is debate as to exactly how many of these miracles are signs. Most tend to agree that there are at least seven, but a dispute sometimes arises if the Resurrection of Jesus should be considered a sign.…

It should be apparent already that even if you grant a miracle, like resurrection, it does not lead to proving one is God. This is a non-sequitur. Also of note, even if it is found that Jesus existed historically, it does not follow that this means the Christian God…
