    Exegetical Essay: The Theme Of Resurrection In Christianity

    You who lie in the dust, awake and shout for joy, for your dew is as the dew of the dawn, And the earth will give birth to the departed spirits.” (New American Bible) In this scripture it is stated that the dead will live again and the corpses will be resurrected. The dead will be awoken once more and will be singing and celebrating. “The words, though they imply a belief more or less distinct in a resurrection.” (Bible Hub) Once again resurrection is not mentioned directly but implied. The once dead will no longer be…

    PHIL240 Essay Set 2 101113

    When explaining the resurrection of Jesus, it is important to keep to the “minimal facts approach” by looking at some important facts. The first fact is that Jesus died by crucifixion. This highly evidenced occurrence has kept with the minimal facts approach because it is so widely attested. Not only was the crucifixion recorded in the four gospel accounts as well as a “number of non-Christian sources” (Habermas & Licona, 2004, p. 49).Lucian of Samosata, Mara Bar-Serapion and the central text of Rabbinic Judaism, the Talmud, all illustrate the death of Jesus. A “highly critical scholar of the Jesus Seminar, John Dominic Crossan, writes, “That he was crucified is as sure as anything historical can ever be” (Habermas & Licona, 2004, p. 49). While the crucifixion of Jesus is the beginning of explain the minimal facts, the more important fact is that Jesus’ disciples believed that he rose and appeared to them.…

    Christian King Mr. Foster Bible: Understanding The Verse Galatians

    My death in Christ means that the old me died. By faith, I am a new person. INTRODUCTION Galatians was written by the Apostle Paul by about 49 A.D. Galatians was written because the churches of that region were facing a theological crisis. This crisis was the distortion of the Gospel by Judaizers. A Judaizer taught that in order for a Christian to be right with God, he must follow the Mosaic Law, also known as the Law of Moses.…

    Wit: Death Thou Shalt Die

    Vivian Bearing is a sophisticated scholar. She is a university professor in seventeenth-century poetry, who is diagnosed with ovarian cancer. Her oncologist, Dr. Kelekian suggests an experimental chemotherapy to be used on her, which would consist of eight full doses. Vivian agrees to the treatment, so the story begins. When watching the movie Wit, I related this movie much to what I had previously learned in high school. In high school, I learned about the Kubler-Ross model. The Kubler-Ross model, also known as the five stages of grief describe the process of death one goes through in order to come to acceptance with their crisis or tragedy; in most cases being an illness. I will be providing examples from the movie for each stage of grief Vivian Bearing had to go through. The five stages are: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and acceptance.…

    Examine Religious Beliefs About Death and Beyond

    There is much debate as to whether humans have an immortal soul or whether they return with a resurrected body later in existence. Some would argue that we have an individual soul that is God-given, as described in Genesis 2:7 (...and He blew into his nostrils the soul). However, this is disputed when looking at the fact that Jesus did not remain dead once crucified, but rather he was resurrected after three days. The idea of a resurrection was described by Jesus in John 11 – “I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in me will live, even though he dies; and whoever lives and believes in me will never die”. Jesus gives the idea that the body will be recreated by God when we rise again for judgement. This is further described in Corinthians 15, it states: “So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable”.…

    Colossians 1: 24-2: 7

    Certainly the center of the entire canon is Jesus Christ, but Colossians 1:24-2:7 does not indicate exactly howto preach Christ. Johnson rightly goes no further than the text, but his overall work does go further. He believes Christ should be preached, in part, by revealing hidden typological meanings from the Old Testament (198-99) and his work rests upon a redemptive-historical hermeneutic. By devoting much ink to Paul’s preaching and then proposing these other elements, he links the two as if the Colossians passage supports all of his work. It does not.…

    There is no soul that outlasts the body

    Some people, also known as dualists, disagree with this statement, as they believe in the existence of soul in human beings. NDE is one their main arguments. They claim that NDEs show there must be a part of us that can exist without our bodies, because a patient once heard the conversation of the surgeons during her operation of the brain where her senses should be numb. This also proves that the soul is free from the body. Moreover, some dualists feel like there is something which is in charge of their body, however, separate to it and human beings are not simply a physical body. Also, they think the soul is what makes human unique and different to animals. Without that, humans are nothing special.…

    Philippians 4:13

    Philippians 4:13 is probably one of the most taken out of context verses in the Bible. Most people Christians and non Christians have this verse as their life verse; they put the verse on a notebook, their shoe, or even book back. People quote this verse all the time when they are going through something difficult but these people have no idea what this passage really means. In this paper we will see what Paul was talking about when he said, “I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”…

    Research Paper On The Book Of Ephesians

    The book of Ephesians in the New Testament was written by the Apostle Paul during his imprisonment between 60 and 62 A.D.. Though Ephesians is considered one of Paul’s prison Epistles, they were established with the thought of people he knew and loved. His authorship within the Old Testament references to numerous theological connections within the New Testament. The experience of the Old Testament abundantly enhances the richness found in the scriptures of the New Testament. His wisdom allowed him to teach for several years to the Ephesian followers (Acts 19:9,10).The Letters of Ephesians did not open on the note of a personal greeting, which opened the possibility that this book of the Bible was intended to function as a circular letter for…
