Do you believe in the Resurrection?

Question

Do you believe that as Jesus was resurrected from the dead that you too will be resurrected?

Answer 1

Yes I do. It's the only thing that keeps me going from day to day. Babs

Answer 2

No and no, respectively.

In Jesus' time, it was the belief among Jews (and perhaps among society in general) that if you kill someone, not only do you kill their body, but you kill their spirit as well. The Jews believed that when Jesus was crucified, his spirit and his Cause altogether died with him. They thought they got rid of him once and for all. Ah, but this wasn't so, for his Cause still lives and has always been strong.

To say that he "resurrected" is to say that although his body died, his spirit and Cause lived on. It was a spiritual resurrection, not a physical one. Jesus was not, is not, and never will be God. He was a human being like us, whose body is in the Earth, but whose spirit is eternal.

We are souls first and foremost. We are souls who happen to be born within a body and who go through a physical experience during the time we exist in the physical realm (Earthly life), but once the body dies, the spirit DOES NOT. The spirit lives endlessly. Since we are spirits first and foremost, it is fair and right to say that live endlessly.

Any human resurrection would be spiritual, not physical. However, since the spirit never dies, this resurrection isn't literal. To not know God is to be spiritually dead. To come to know God is to become spiritually ALIVE. Therefore, the spiritual resurrection is when one comes to know and to love and to worship God, and to be filled with all of His teachings and blessings and wisdom and insight and love. One's spiritual cup overfloweth.

THIS is TRUE resurrection. Compared to this, who cares about a physical resurrection? Think about it. Would you wanna be resurrected into a mortal body again? I wouldn't. The spirit, once freed from the body, is no longer bound to the body's physical limitations. No more hunger, thirst, need for oxygen, need for shelter, need for clothing, no more aging, no more disease, no more intestinal gas, no more sweating, no more body odor, no more physical pain, no more haircuts & shaves, no more physical injury, no more nail trimming, no more hangnails, no more stinky breath, no more tooth decay, no more hair loss (guys, do you wanna go bald AGAIN??), no more anything of the kind.

Gimme the spiritual realm any day!

Answer 3

Yes. But I do not believe we will be resurrected and walk around the earth in our new bodies as Jesus did.

1Co 15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead; He became the firstfruit of those having fallen asleep.
1Co 15:21 For since death is through man, also through a Man is a resurrection of the dead;
1Co 15:22 for as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
1Co 15:23 But each in his own order: Christ, the firstfruit; afterward those of Christ at His coming.

Answer 4

I believe that is mythology, not history. There were many other gods who were resurrected from the dead, some prior and some following Jeshua(Jesus). None of these stories are based in history, hun. good luck!!

Answer 5

i do very much so... and i can not wait to see some of my loved ones that have already passed away


“There is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Acts 24:15)

“The hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will . . . come out.” (John 5:28, 29)

Answer 6

Yes! and there will be a time when you will know this solidly, without doubt. many others will go on with their doubts, untill they are shook to belief by events. Contrary to popular belief, they or anyone else will not suddenly fly away. No place in the bible does it mention "Rapture" They will be changed in a twinkling of the eye is mentioned. Do not let anyone tell you they know for sure, only the father knows, and his son now prepares for us.

Answer 7

Nope...

There is no evidence for Resurrection beyond a few minutes and in rare cases a few hours. 3 Days would be an incredible feat with today's science, let alone pre gravitational times.

Answer 8

Dead people came out of their graves and started causing trouble in the middle of the day. Plus, they stank.

This was right after Jesus' public trial.

Answer 9

yes i belive that Jesus was resurrected
when we die we christians souls will go to heaven

Answer 10

Yes, but the soldiers were bribed to say that his disciples had stolen his body.

We've also found his burial cloth (after removing the 13th century repairs).
