Resurrection Of Jesus
The bodily resurrection of Jesus is positively vital in the declaration of the gospel. Lacking the gospel is not superior news, other than awful news. The news will be just a simple person who was cruelly beaten and killed for profanity. In what way could the apostles present this news, if they did not when through the bodily resurrection? There would be not any. This is why the resurrection is a necessary element of the gospel. In addition, basically declare that the resurrection take place would not have been a sufficient amount. This is why Jesus appear in acts chapter one and be evidence for himself to the apostles. According to Acts 1:3 states, Jesus show himself to the disciples and many too persuasive evidence that he was living.

    Exegetical Essay: The Theme Of Resurrection In Christianity

    Resurrection in Christian belief is the rising of the dead at the Last Judgment. Resurrection is most notably associated biblically with Jesus Christ. Christ’s rising from the dead three days after having been crucified on the cross is a story well known among most. It is the first ever and authentic report of a resurrection in our history. “Never before had anyone been raised from the grave in such a way as to be completely transformed and thus beyond the icy fingers of death.” (Deffinbaugh) Resurrection is a common biblical theme noted several time in the scriptures within the Old Testament and the New Testament of the Bible connecting the two.…

    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.…

    Is Jesus's Resurrection Based On Religion Or Science?

    Is Jesus's Resurrection Based On Religion Or Science?

    Resurrection is supposed to be the basis of Christianity. Dead bodies do not rise again. It is a physical impossibility and contrary to the laws of nature. Despite this, resurrection is the proof of Christianity. Matthew testifies that the angel of the Lord descended in full view, like lightning, clothed as white as snow, and accompanied by an earthquake. At the sight of him, the keepers shake and become like dead men. The angel rolled away the stone and sat on it at the door of the sepulchre, telling the women their Lord was risen (Matthew 28:1-8). In Mark (Mark 16:4) and Luke (Luke 24:4), the stone had already been rolled away.…

    Theories of resurrection of the body are logically incoherent.

    However this opinion may not necessarily be true. The base of many theories of resurrection is the bible, which suggests that talk of physical resurrection of Jesus is logical as there is recorded evidence through the accounts of Luke, Matthew, Mark and John. These accounts can be seen as evidence that theories of resurrection are logical because they are classed as eye witness accounts. Matthew reported that Jesus appeared to the disciples and said "peace be with you". They came up to him, took hold of his feet, and worshiped him.' (Mathew 28 V9) Mark also says that Mary saw a man in the tomb and he said 'You are looking for the Jesus of Nazarene, who was crucified. He has risen!'(Mark 16 V6) but Mary was too scared and didn't tell anyone. Another source of evidence was Luke's statement when Jesus appeared; 'They gave him a piece of cooked fish, which he took and ate' (Luke 24 V41-43). Then finally John said Jesus appeared to Thomas, saying 'put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side' (John 20 V27). These accounts support a Christian materialist view that Jesus' resurrection was physical as he could eat, be touched, walk, speak and breathe. They are considered as evidence as they are written historical accounts. The evidence must be reliable; would they risk their lives for made up stories?…

    The Controversy Over Christ's Resurrection

    In the two chapters, “The Controversy over Christ’s Resurrection: Historical Event or Symbol” and “Who is the True Church,” Eleaine Pagels give us insight into the difference between the Christian faith and those of the Gnostic. Both religions had their interpretation about the resurrection of Christ and whose church was the true church. The differences of the Gnostic and the Catholic belief differed drastically. This was not only in relation to the resurrection of Christ, but also to the acceptable writings such as the four original Gospels and those added by the Gnostics. There was also a dispute concerning spiritual growth and salvation. While one church was considered the chosen the other was the church of the many and considered the…

    Should the reserection of Jesus be considered a sign

    Should the reserection of Jesus be considered a sign

    Should the resurrection of Jesus be considered one of the "signs" of the Gospel? Why or why not? This by far is a very controversial debate and is tossed to and fro with the theological community. The Gospel of John does not state that the resurrection is a “sign” even though the event was miraculous in and of itself, there is no biblical evidence to back up the event as a sign. The purpose of the resurrection was not to prove that Christ was who He claimed to be rather it was necessary. A sign like raising Lazarus was not for any purpose except to help those who doubted as Thomas did to believe. [1]The apostle Paul went so far in emphasis as to argue that if there is no resurrection, there is no Gospel. All that we teach and preach today would be pointless if it had not been for the resurrection, unlike a “sign” that was not necessary for our salvation. I am not saying this because of the importance of Christianity, I am simply pointing out a fact of the difference in the two. I have never been asked this question before nor have I thought about a possible argument to back up the theory. On studying and researching into this question I would have to say I am leaning toward the fact that Christ resurrection is not a sign or miracle base on specific verses in the Bible itself. Not to say that right because it is an opinion, however as I stated above, Christ didn’t rise again as a sign to help those who did not believe. I have read that the eighth sign was called the “book of glory” being the resurrection of Christ [2] instead of the miraculous catch of the fish. [3] Leon Morris says this, the miraculous catch fish in chapter 21 would certainly qualify, except for the fact that this lies outside the public ministry of Jesus. That being said I can understand both points of view and although I lean more toward it not being a sign, the argument presented makes good sense in the fact that the catching of the fish was not public.…

    Personal Narrative: Why Christianity Is Unbelievable

    Therefore, when we are told that a man, who was stone cold dead for nearly 3 days, comes back to life via divine intervention, we have a right to require the highest proof of the event. However, I have shown that Christianity, in my opinion, cannot show the highest form of proof for the resurrection. In fact, it has the lowest form of proof – 2nd and 3rd hand stories recounted by either unknown or questionable individuals- Or, by people who were not witnesses of the…

    Salvation

    Langston Hughes, in his personal narrative “Salvation,” tells of his experience with being pressured by the adult figures in his life to be “saved from sin” and to “come to Jesus” even though he did not feel saved at all. In his piece written in 1925, Hughes’s purpose is to show his confusion and loss of faith through the need to please his elders and conform to their beliefs. Throughout the excerpt, Hughes conveys a childlike tone in order to highlight his uncertainty about religion and the influence of his elders on him. Hughes’s use of rhetorical devices such as imagery, figurative language, and word choice contribute to further emphasizing his purpose.…

    Minimal Facts Approach to the Resurrection

    The second fact is that Jesus’ disciples believed that He rose and appeared to them. What could transform a group of “fearful, cowering individuals who denied and abandoned Him [Jesus] at His arrest and execution into bold proclaimers of the gospel of the risen Lord” (Habermas & Licona, 2004, p. 50)? These men had nothing to gain from their claims. In fact, they remained consistent with their beliefs even in the face of beatings, torture, imprisonment, and their own martyrdom. Nine early and independent sources confirm that the disciples claimed the resurrection. These fall into three categories: the testimony of Paul about the disciples, the early church’s oral tradition, and the written works of the early church. Succinctly put, even when merely viewing the New Testament as an ancient collection of writings, there is strong evidence to assert…
