Resurrection of the dead

However, as Robert Stein points out, “Jesus never defined exactly what he meant by the kingdom of God/heaven” in his teachings (Stein 61). Instead, Jesus told John’s disciples “the blind see, the lame walk, the lepers are cured, the deaf hear, the dead are raised to life, and the Good News is being preached to the poor” (Luke 7:22). In doing as such, Jesus was pointing out his kingdom reign on earth as it is in heaven. The kingdom of God is greater than the nation of Israel had expected, was…

can have faith. In the text, she writes about uneducated, illiterate lower-class Jewish men that were sharing the good news about Jesus. Their trust in God has helped their souls and have brought them closer to God. After seeing Jesus rise from the dead, their sins have been forgiven and they now have a closer relationship with God. The love from God is what is making these men to share the good news. They did not mind because they had God on their side. I am convinced by the Welborn makes.…

decided to shoot the albatross with no explicit reason. The other crew members are so upset with him that they hang the dead bird around his neck for him to never take off. The mariner’s story…

with all our mind this does not fit with someone who has an irrational belief they hold as a sold truth. The third enemy of apologetics he lists is ignorance. Some Christians do not care that they have no knowledge of God 's existence, Jesus resurrection, the justice of hell, Christ 's supremacy, or the logical problems with nonchristian world views. Cowardice is the fourth point he covered. Be tolerant is the message we here from the world today. They want us to live and let live, be nice…

The Events Leading Up to Jesus’ Birth When did man, as we know man, really start? Our faith tells us it started with Adam and Eve. God gave instructions to Adam and then to Eve. However, temptations set upon them and they made a bad choice. The angel Gabriel, said to Zechariah, “Don’t be afraid, Zechariah! God has heard your prayer. Your wife Elizabeth will have a son, and you will name him John” (Luke 1:13, NIV). Zechariah was told that his wife Elizabeth, who was unable to bear children,…

Since the first Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone, was published in 1997, J.K. Rowling’s ‘Potterheads’ have done close-readings of the series. From determining detailed Hogwarts house characteristics to theories claiming Ron Weasley is actually Headmaster Dumbledore, the Potter fans have generated seemingly endless ideas and continue to find hidden meanings and symbols in the books. One particular trend in the series is the copious amount of biblical parallels. This is not…

Minjung Christology. Specifically, the Gospel of Mark highlights Jesus’ association with the common people. Case in point, Mark 11: 5 reads, “The blind receive their sight, and the lame walk, the lepers are cleansed, and the deaf hear, the dead are raised up, and the poor have the gospel preached to them.” This Scripture reveals that through maintaining faith and hope in Jesus Christ one’s issues will be corrected and fixed in due time. Minjung Christology stresses that Christ hears your…

finds its first iteration in his first encounter with a dead body during the war. He finds the experience “way too real” (O’Brien 214), overwhelming him while the rest of his company easily produces a post-mortem narrative with the body. Perhaps more significantly, he saturates his account of Linda with notions of salvation, even to the extent that the film he remembers seeing with her told the story of “a man whose death and figurative resurrection saved the world from Nazi Germany” (Vernon…

you are hungry He gives you food to eat, as portrayed in the example of the Loaves and Fishes. Those followers had been with Jesus for days and He knew they would be hungry even before anyone asked Him for food (Luke 9:11-17). Jesus would bring the dead to life, as shown with the daughter of one of the priest in the synagogues. We don’t know if it was a priest that was a believer in Jesus or just desperate when his twelve year old daughter died suddenly. But the news got to Jesus after her…

Ezra 3:12, the elders, priests, and old men weep because of its painful inferiority to the first. 500 years later, God’s promises is fulfilled when He returns in Christ. Not only did God physically dwell among men, but after Christ’s death and resurrection He sent the Holy Spirit to dwell in His people - His new temples. Revelations 21:3, 22, and 26 bring the story full circle, describing a city without a temple, for “the dwelling place of God is with man”(Revelation 21:3). What makes this…
