Answer 2

Is the resurrection of Jesus Christ true?





Question: "Is the resurrection of Jesus Christ true?"



Answer: Although Scripture does not attempt to "prove" that Jesus was raised from the dead, it does present conclusive evidence that He was in fact resurrected. Christ’s resurrection is recorded in Matthew 28:1-20; Mark 16:1-20; Luke 24:1-53 and John 20:1-21:25. The resurrected Christ also appeared in the Book of Acts (Acts 1:1-11). From these passages you can gain several "proofs" of Christ’s resurrection. Look at the dramatic change in the disciples. They went from scared and hiding in a room, to courageous and sharing the Gospel throughout the world. What else could explain this dramatic change other than the risen Christ appearing to them?



Look at the life of the Apostle Paul. What changed him from being a persecutor of the church into an apostle for the church? It was when the risen Christ appeared to him on the road to Damascus (Acts 9:1-6). Another convincing "proof" is the empty tomb. If Christ wasn’t raised, then where is His body? The disciples and others saw the tomb where He was buried. When they returned, His body was not there. Angels declared that He had been raised from the dead as He had promised (Matthew 28:5-7). Yet another evidence of His resurrection is the many people He appeared to (Matthew 28:5,9,16-17; Mark 16:9; Luke 24:13-35; John 20:19,24,26-29; 21:1-14; Acts 1:6-8; 1 Corinthians 15:5-7).



The key passage on Christ’s resurrection is 1 Corinthians 15. In this chapter, the Apostle Paul explains why it is crucial to understand and believe in Christ’s resurrection. The resurrection is important for the following reasons: (1) If Christ was not raised from the dead, believers will not be either (1 Corinthians 15:12-15). (2) If Christ was not raised from the dead, His sacrifice for sin was not sufficient (1 Corinthians 15:16-19). Jesus’ resurrection proved that His death was accepted by God as the atonement for our sins. If He had simply died and stayed dead, that would indicate His sacrifice was not sufficient. As a result, believers would not be forgiven for their sins, and they would still remain dead after they die (1 Corinthians 15:16-19) – there would be no such thing as eternal life (John 3:16). "But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep" (1 Corinthians 15:20 NAS). Christ has been raised from the dead – He is the first fruits of our resurrection.



(3) All those who believe in Him will be raised to eternal life just as He was (1 Corinthians 15:20-23). 1 Corinthians 15 goes on to describe how Christ’s resurrection proves His victory over sin, and provides us the power to live victoriously over sin (1 Corinthians 15:24-34). (4) It describes the glorious nature of the resurrection body we will receive (1 Corinthians 15:35-49). (5) It proclaims that as a result of Christ’s resurrection, all who believe in Him have ultimate victory over death (1 Corinthians 15:50-58). What a glorious truth the resurrection of Christ is! "Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your toil is not in vain in the Lord" (1 Corinthians 15:58).

Answer 3

Have you read the gospel of Peter. It is one of the lost books of the bible and sounds suspect to me. It makes it sound like Jesus was given the guile and vinegar (please don't crucify me for spelling), and this is what killed him. It tells the story of the crusifiction differently than the ones in the bible, and even has Jesus saying My power, my power why have thou forsaken me instead of my god.

However, I have read theories that this guile was a snake venom that paralyzed the person if injested. It tells of an earthquake, but it doesn't mention angels, instead it mentions that a great light appeared in the sky and 2 MEN came down from the sky in the light and helped support Jesus one on each side and WALKED him out of the tomb. It kinda sound like aliens. I'm not sure what I think about it, I'm still thinking it over.

Answer 4

A theory:

He was still alive whne taken down from the cross -- he bled when the soldier poked him with a spear, if he was dead he wouldn't have bled. Also, wasn't on the cross very long. Took a drug from the cloth that wiped his face. Later, revived in the cave by Simon Magus...so yeah he was "resssurected" but he never was dead in the first place.

Answer 5

Read the book "The Golden Bough". All of it. All of the volumes. Or just read the abridged version. Then you should get it. Otherwise, watch the PBS special "The First Christians" and read between the lines just a little bit.

Answer 6

Good question! Also, if you don't believe Santa Claus delivers presents to children every Christmas I'd like to hear reasons based on fact.

Answer 7

It's all myth. The bible originally had no mention of the deity of Christ. It was all added on at various religious councils years after the death of Christ. He was a human being and a prophet. Nothing more.

Answer 8

I agree with Arcturus R, there are no verifiable facts in religion - if their was, it wouldn't be faith. It's all a big fairy tale. People don't die and come back to life three days later. Gods don't ever die (if there were any).

Answer 9

The verses that show the resurrection were not part of the "scriptures" till much later... in other words, that's an addition.

Answer 10

Let's just go with common sense
