stage was when the Gospels were taught orally by his apostles and disciples for around 40 years. These people knew him or his apostles and Jesus’ teachings well. Because Jesus had been crucified and resurrected the Gospels were coming from a post-resurrection view. While the Good News was being spread and taught orally, some passages were altered slightly with the telling of the stories. However, the message of the Gospels had the same important meaning. The third stage…
human body decays and the soul goes to meet God, while awaiting its reunion with its glorified body. God, in his almighty power, will definitively grant incorruptible life to our bodies by reuniting them with our souls, through the power of Jesus' Resurrection.” —Catechism of the Catholic, 997 Introduction Many people are unsure about the views of the Catholic Church concerning cremation. When undertaking the preparation of their own death or the death of a loved one, there is often some…

I say Hume is wrong. In my opinion, a wise person should base their belief on the weight of evidence that is presented. It is foolish to believe that evidence for natural events outweighs the evidence for miracles. For example, the Big Bang Theory, which many scientists believe to be true, is an event that will never repeat itself. It’s a highly rare event, but if we followed Hume’s belief, it would be considered irrational to believe in the Big Bang Theory. It contradicts our uniform…

dominant religious group in the world, tell the story of crucifixion of Jesus Christ and his holy resurrection repeatedly in church, emphasizing the importance of the two. The current Easter Day celebration, a silly day embedded in American culture celebrated with chocolate bunnies and colorfully decorated eggs, continues to hide the true significance of the day--celebration of Jesus Christ’s resurrection. Likewise, in Light in August, William Faulkner…
lacks patience and mercy, and is therefore filled with hatred and evil. The Gospel of John states that, "anyone who does not love remains in death" (1 John 3; 14). Death – humanity 's biggest fear – has only been overcome by Christ through His Resurrection. I, Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ, testify that the path of human hatred can only be defeated by belief in Christ. I wrote in my letter to the Corinthians that "the last enemy to be destroyed is death" (1 Corinthians 15; 26). Hatred will…
all He appeared to me” (The Bible). In an interview, Strobel discovered that this early creed, “is actually a summary that corresponds line by line with what the gospels teach” (Strobel 281). There are many inconsistencies when it comes to the resurrection, but, the inconsistencies are not found in the major details, so they don't actually discredit it. One theory pertaining to Jesus’ body disappearing is that the women went to the wrong tomb, which would lead them to deduce that Jesus had been…
something no other species has. Yet, we have faith in things that may seem irrational. There are many things people have faith in, for example: a sea being split in half, bread just forming in the middle of a desert, and even a man raising himself from the dead. Reason can be a great ally to faith at times, but there are still times that you must rely on faith alone. People have faith in many possible phenomena which is highly unlikely to happen in nature. For example, there are about 13-14…
