Resurrection

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 destroy the Christian faith. Many have walked down this path but none return the same as they were before. This can be said for a man named Lee Strobel for he too has walked this path and returned a different man. The…

time period in which the accounts in scripture are written and the historical accuracy of these encounters proves challenging (Morreall, 2012). A majority of encounters were written after they physically took place, a prime example of this is the Resurrection of Jesus: it became a significant important part of Christian doctrines, specifically the Nicene Creed (Morreall, 2012).

Since her accident…

“The Girl in the Lavender Dress” is a new version of “Resurrection Mary” therefore both stories have akin plot incidents.

The resurrection plays a HUGE role in the Gospel. If there wouldn’t be resurrection then there wouldn’t be salvation. There would not be a gospel that would be effective. 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. And none of that would of happened if it wasn’t for the Grace and the…

The resurrection of Jesus Christ is the most prolific event that ever happen. Should the resurrection of Jesus Christ be a sign of the Gospel, or not?

Twain and London both describe their experiences of earthquakes in San Francisco with two distinct purposes. While Twain writes to criticize the people's lack of common sense when facing a life endangering situation, London describes the scene of the earthquake in order to convey the magnitude of the destruction that occurred in San Francisco.
