Resurrection

Exaltation of Christ There are four stages of the state of exaltation. 1. Resurrection a. The nature of the resurrection The resurrection of Christ's body and his soul is really real. His body was raised from the dead. Jesus did not rise as a spirit only but as a whole person, body, and soul (Bloesch, 2004). Unlike the other human, His body and soul rose completely. This shows that Christ defeated death. The resurrection of Jesus in his human nature indicates a perfection that is getting raised…

To further justify a bodily resurrection he points to Christian eschatology, which he argues gives humanity the hope that both soul and body will be resurrected. For Moltmann, the resurrection bears witness to the unity of the human rather than presenting a duality of the soul and body, with the soul being preeminent. The resurrection is vital to understanding the human being for Moltmann, who argues that it is a part of human life and does not represent the general view of a life after death.…

Since “The Girl in the Lavender Dress” is another version of “Resurrection Mary” there are some differences in the events in each of the stories plot. For example, in “The Girl in the Lavender Dress” the text never specifies where Carol’s ghost was coming from. The text said “And it was after dusk when we first saw her. I know it was dark, 'cause I remember first seeing her in the lights ahead. Neither Herbert nor I spoke. He slowed down, and the girl stopped walking. She just stood there on our…

It is true that in the days of Jesus the Sadducees still refused to believe in any life after death. Indeed, because Jesus stood for “the resurrection and the life” in opposition to the authorities who stood for the principle of death and darkness, these people were forced to bring the judgment on themselves to bear unjustly upon their accuser, and judge, and attempt to destroy Christ. However…

463). I both agree and disagree with Moltmann's statement. I believe that God's existence now is just as real as his existence from the moment of creation to the point of the resurrection, and to the present time, and His existence in the future is the same as well. I believe God's existence is outside of our time line of the earth, the Milky Way, and the universe. His existence transcends time, but He is at the controls of time…

20:24-29, Thomas had not been with the other disciples when Jesus appeared to them, and was in doubt when they told him that Jesus had returned. It wasn’t until Jesus appeared to Thomas and had him touch the fatal wounds did Thomas believe His Resurrection was true. Throughout history, many artists have depicted this moment between Christ and Saint Thomas through various mediums such as paintings, sculptures, and films. One of the most popular artworks of this event is the 1602 oil painting…

Balthasar, Hans Urs Von, and Brian McNeil. Explorations in Theology: Creator Spirit. Vol. III. San Francisco, Calif: Ignatius, 1993. Print. In section II, chapters two and seven of Explorations in Theology: Creator Spirit, Balthasar provides us with a particular Johannine oriented pneumatology. The bulk of his argument seems to be situating the Holy Spirit within an understanding of the Holy Trinity, which establishes the Spirit as truly divine, rejecting any notions to just reduce the Holy…

Any time Taylor refers to the resurrection he proceeds it with words like, “his creatively remembered death” which is a way of saying the story of his death and resurrection that we have today are not actual complete fact and that some sort of flare (the resurrection) was added to better the story for a particular purpose (Taylor, 269). This is not the only time he precedes references to his resurrection with words that imply the resurrection might be nothing more than a fictional story…
