i dont expect anyone to know the exact number but a guess would be nice. or maybe a conjecture with a biblical reference.

Answer 1

There were eight individual resurrections recorded in the bible including Jesus.

1. 1 Kings 17: 17 -24 Elijah resurrects widows son.
2. 2 Kings 4: 32-37 Elisha resurrects Shunammite woman's son.
3. 2 Kings 13:20, 21 Man resurrected by touching Elisha's bones.
4. Matt. 28: 5-7 God resurrects Jesus
5. Luke 7: 11-17 Jesus resurrects the widow of Nain's son.
6. Luke 8:40-46 Jesus resurrects Jarirus's daughter.
7. Acts 9: 36-42 Peter resurrects Tabitha.
8. Acts 20: 7-12 Paul resurrects Eutychus.

Those who have been resurrected and gone to heaven since Jesus died and open the way for heavenly resurrection. I would say over 136,000. The bible shows that only 144,000 have the heavenly hope at Rev. 7: 3 & 4; 14: 1-3; Luke 12: 32; 144,000 not natural Jews see Rom. 2: 28 & 29; Gal. 3: 26-29 Everyone else is waiting the resurrection mentioned at John 5: 28 & 29 " Do not marvel at this, the hour is coming when all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice and come out.." Then "the meek will inherit the earth" and "reside forever upon it." Ps 37: 10 & 11 & 29

Answer 2

The Bible indirectly mentions one, Moses. He could not have been with Jesus on the mount of transconfiguration if he had not been resurrected. Lazarus makes two. There is no indication of how many were resurrect at the same time as Jesus, but I have read that there may have been one from every generation since the creation, so that would have been a lot.

Answer 3

Certainly not the Buddha given that the goal or the meaning of life he practiced and taught was to be free of re-birth. However, it is amazing how often ideas are resurrected. As Santayana once said : Those that do not learn from the mistakes of history are destined to repeat them. I wonder if the difference in either system of beliefs has ever been thoroughly investigated.

Answer 4

Depends on your definition of resurrection. I got a bill from a hospital for "infant resuscitation", believe me the kid looked pretty dead when she was born. The medical techs, in the delivery room did a miraculous job of getting this kid to survive. But I don't think you are refering to secular life.

From a purely Christian theological perspective, your answer is 2.

Answer 5

Several prophets have already been mentioned as well as people Christ himself raised and those who were also resurrected when Christ was resurrected. We know too, that Peter, James and John as well as Moroni and John the Baptist are resurrected beings as they had all appeared and ministered to Joseph Smith.

Answer 6

Jesus resurrected Lazaro and a girl.
When someone has a clinical dead or may be a heart attack, they die for mimutes...then they resurrect.
But in syntesis no one has been resurrected besides Jesus.
It is a hard and long theme.

Answer 7

Frankenstein's monster.

oh, and Dave Gahan from Depeche Mode; He was pronounced death for a minute on an overdose (i guess it was in the early 90's), then, BANG, his heart began pumping blood and some meth leftovers again.

Answer 8

ZERO including Jesus

Answer 9

Lazarus "When all the people[d] heard of Jesus’ arrival, they flocked to see him and also to see Lazarus, the man Jesus had raised from the dead. " John 12.9

Answer 10

Osiris, Tammuz, Attis, Mithra, All of these "Gods" were resurrected as well...and guess what there are books about them! So it has to be real right!
