Can a man rise from the dead?

Answer 1

Technically, yes. EMTs and ER physicians pull off this miracle every day. Naturally there are limits to what they can accomplish -- the patient must have been flatlined for only a few minutes, with minimal damage to the heart, liver, kidneys and/or brain.

Answer 2

Yes. Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Sara, Christ was completely man AND completely God. God made the universe and all things in it, and ALL things are subject to his authority.

It is, therefore, no big deal to turn water into wine, split the sea in two, burn a bush without being consumed, etc. It is no different in principle than you playing a game of monopoly and making certain "house" rules. When my family plays, we give any player the option of rolling with one dice or two.

It is the same with God. God WROTE the laws of Physics, and if he chooses to bend or break them to do his own pleasure, he has that authority; we're playing under HIS house rules.He created all things, and all things are subject to his authority. You left off that he also walked on water, healed the lame and blind, told the wind and waves what to do and received obedience from the weather, forgave sins, fed 5,000 with two fish and five loaves,and raised Lazurus form the dead BEFORE he himself rose from the dead; and I think he did a few small things like cursed a fig tree which then wilted overnight. And there is MUCH more that is not even specifically mentioned in the Bible; only general reference is made to it:

Joh 21:25 And there are also many other things which Jesus did, the which, if they should be written every one, I suppose that even the world itself could not contain the books that should be written. Amen.

Answer 3

My heart has literally stopped beating before. If you consider making a full recovery from v-tach (ventricular tachycardia) followed by full cardiac arrest, then yes, I guess a man can rise from the dead (clinical death, anyway). I'm proof.

Answer 4

Theoretically no , brain damage occurs due to lack of oxygen. there are a few theories that Jesus's follower gave him some type of paralization drug that mimics death, in the sponge that tasted like vinegar. then revived him after he was cut down. There are such drugs as used in voodoo and hermetics of the time knew, and practised with such drugs. However the messiah story has little accountability outside the bible.

Answer 5

Mike from my church was hit by a motorcycle and knocked 85 feet into a block wall. He was declared dead on arrival at the hospital, but was brought back to life through prayer. He is alive and well today.

Answer 6

Not anymore, as a human (not a God) Jesus was able to do so. We believe that this was one of the miracles that were granted to Jesus, to bring people back from the dead, along with other miracles.

Answer 7

Well, that depends. If a person believes in God, and that God is omnipotent, then there is no reason to NOT believe that anything is possible with God.

However, if there is no God (which no one knows 100% either way), then it's not possible at all.

I believe that although it isn't exactly something that happens every day, it DID happen two times in the past: Jesus, and Lazarus.

Answer 8

Jesus Christ did it. Conquered death so that we could have eternal life. We will, in imitation of Him, be resurrected on the Last Day.

In the Old Testament (1Kings) Elijah brought back to life the widow's son.

Jesus, after arriving too late to prevent Lazarus from dying, brought Lazarus back to life (John's Gospel)

Answer 9

Yes, Only God can rise someone or with His will alone.

Answer 10

You can be medically declared dead, but then recover. But as a rule, death is a one-way trip.
