Resurrection

According to Oxford Dictionary Online, Resurrection is “the act of causing something that had ended or been forgotten or lost to exist again, to be used again” Christianity teaches that Christ was resurrected into eternal life for making the ultimate sacrifice for mankind. The idea of being “recalled to life” comes through every course of A Tale of Two Cities. The French revolution is form of resurrection. The revolutionaries had to destroy the entire society to form a new one to gain their…

The world we live in is a broken and sinful place where death and destruction seem still to reign and yet our faith teaches that in Christ has defeated death through his work on the cross and in resurrection declaring that not even death can separate us from the love of God. Paul teaches in Romans 6:4 “Therefore we have been buried with him by baptism into death, so that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, so we too might walk in newness of life.” In baptism we…

Pro’s argument Pro argues that Jesus existed, that the New Testament is a reliable source for history and thus as it claims Jesus was raised from the Dead that Jesus is God. 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 exists. More on this later, I will address Pro’s argument…

Docetism is one of the several heresies of the 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.

Orthodox Church as they responded to attacks of heresy from one another. The purpose of this review is not an all-inclusive review of the entire book, but a focused look at two important chapters: one that addresses various interpretations of the resurrection of Christ and another that deals with the question of which church should…

grandfather. Jesus Christ’s resurrection is essential to the gospel. “The resurrection is the ultimate proof that Jesus is the Son of God,” wrote Hindson. Since the gospel relies on the deity of Jesus Christ, the resurrection, which proclaims that Jesus is the Son of God, is vital to the gospel. However, people cannot intellectually fathom that Jesus resurrected insomuch that they compile theories, such as the twin and alien theory, in order to reject the resurrection of Jesus. After studying…

QUESTION 1. What does salvation mean? How does the death and resurrection of Christ save us from our sins? Are Christians the only persons who can experience salvation?

Salvation is defined as rescue from mortal peril, deliverance from sin and death, and the gift of fulfilled life in communion with God.

As with any controversial topic, there are many different approaches people will employ and identify with. On the topic of Jesus’ Resurrection, Fideism, Strong Theological Rationalism and Critical Theological Rationalism are three main categories of logic Christians seeking to defend the Resurrection could fall into, and each possesses a specific set of standards for having that belief. Those who fall into the first category, Fideists, believe strongly that faith is the only…

People from all over the world believe in some form of resurrection or a life after. This religious doctrine has mandated our lives and guide our religious experiences. No one wants to think about what might happen after death. That after we die all the suffering and the hard work we have done will vanish only to be in the memories to a few. Life is so fleeting but death is permanent. This though has brought a lot of people to religion because they are promised a life after death. When I was…
