first source of evidence. Instead, they would start from a position of neutrality to validate or refute Christ’s resurrection through reasonable data. Perhaps, they would begin by investigating statements like everyone dies or Jesus was divine and could live again since these look at both sides of the issue. In turn, if they decided to pursue the Bible as justification for the resurrection, it would only be because they previously evaluated and justified it through neutral proof to be true.…

this paper, I will be talking about the trustworthiness and historicity of the Gospels. The historical reliability of the Gospel accounts of Jesus’ miracles, and did Jesus claim to be God. Did his disciples believe he was God? The accuracy of the resurrection accounts in the Gospels, that is, did Jesus rise bodily from the dead? If so, what is the practical significance of this event for the Church and for the individual? What is the Gospel that is to be preach throughout the world? According to…
character claims “The Devil made me do it!” (Rountree 212). Rountree draws readers into her argument when she admits her guilt she had towards hip-hop is the blame without actually having a basic understanding of it. (212). After watching “Tupac Resurrection” changed her views on hip hop by stating “The two-hour screening time was for me an epiphany and an entirely new world opened up: a world of beats, words, images, insights, raw expressions that were positively transporting.” (Rountree 212).…
Katie Chopin’s short story, “The Story of an Hour”, displays situational irony where Mrs. Mallard’s reaction to her husband’s death and her husband’s sudden resurrection shows a difference in how humanity sees death and resurrection.

The first similarity in the message is the emphasis on Christ 's resurrection. This truth is a foundational one for every believer. Without the resurrection of Jesus Christ, there would be no salvation. The Gospel is defined as the death, burial, and resurrection of Jesus Christ (I Corinthians 15:1-4). Peter understood this.

The Romans held that Rome would be the father of all peoples and that the Emperor would be the Father of the Fatherland, as its savior and founder. Paul takes these things and revolutionizes them after encountering the Risen Christ. Through the Resurrection, the identity of God the Father is revealed to Paul, as He who raises Jesus from the dead. This implies that God the Father’s Identity is centered on His Son, and giving life to Him. This manifests itself in time through the sacramental…
