Recommended: Importance of of bible

The purpose of the Bible is for humanity to acknowledge their sins and build a relationship with God because our goal is to go to heaven. The Bible is also a guide for humanity because it demonstrates how to live life. For instance, the Bible states we should love the individuals we encounter as ourselves. Furthermore, some individuals question that if Jesus was not physically resurrected, then Christianity would be a false religion. However, after watching the video, I believe Jesus physically rose from the dead because there are many historical events to substantiate this claim. The first historical event was that Paul was an eyewitness to Jesus ' resurrection. According to the Bible, "And that [Christ] was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures ... After …show more content…

The New King James Bible explains, "And with great power the apostles gave witness to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus. And great grace was upon them all ... For since death came through a man, the resurrection of the dead comes also through a man ... If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body" (Acts 4:33 and 1 Corinthians 15:21 and 44). Paul explains that Jesus died for our sins and was resurrected. Since Jesus was physically buried, then Jesus ' resurrection would represent Him physically rising from the dead. Moreover, Paul explains that we will be resurrected like Jesus because God created humanity. Humanity cannot be physically resurrected because the human body is perishable. However, the spiritual body is imperishable and will live for eternity. Therefore, our physical bodies will be resurrected into an imperishable spirit. The significance of the passage is to demonstrate the historical event that Jesus ' disciples taught the physical resurrection of Jesus and also humanity will be

  • The Resurrection Argument

    719 Words  | 2 Pages

    In the previous two posts, we have gone over the importance of the apostles ' martyrdom for the resurrection argument, as well as a summary of Sean McDowell 's findings concerning their martyrdom. Now the question arises, is this evidence enough? The short answer is, yes. All the resurrection argument requires is that some apostles who claimed to have experiences of the resurrected Jesus were martyred for their faith. The idea is that if the apostles had invented the story of the resurrection they wouldn 't be willing to die for it. If they were martyred then they truly believed that they had experienced encounters of the resurrected Jesus, adding credence to the resurrection argument and disproving the possibility that

    I find Lanes understanding of the disciples experience of the resurrection very helpful. There is no way to come up with your opinion fully without hearing all possible stories. When you hear many different stories, opinions, and facts it gives you more knowledge and insight about the subject where you can draw your own conclusion from that. Listening to these different ideas and opinions doesn’t mean you have to necessarily agree with it, the choice is left up to you to decipher truth from fabrication, lies, embellishment, persuasion stories, etc. Which is extremely relevant and difficult in this situation.

    ...rn to this earth and will establish his kingdom here. The life, the death and the resurrection of Jesus is a revelation of God for the world’s redemption and this is unveiled by the Old Testament. In fact Old Testament was the vehicle, which revealed the true meaning of the redemptive events of the gospel. We can sum up the whole events and facts in this way that Jesus had to face rigors of crucifixion and eventually died. He was buried and due to His death His disciples lost hope and became despair. The tomb of Jesus was found empty just after a few days. It was a proof that Jesus had risen.

  • The Bible: The Story Of Redemption In The Bible

    1676 Words  | 4 Pages

    Spanning fifteen hundred years with over 30,700 manuscripts, extensive archaeological evidence and 2000 prophecies that have been fulfilled, the Bible is God 's word to us. (Yohn, 2013). In the Bible, the Father is essentially giving us a picture of the history of the world and is also leading us to a place where we must make a decision that involves whether we choose to accept his son or reject him and remain guilty. Additionally, the Word of God tells us what happened that caused this breach between us and God, the result of this and how God has rectified it through the blood of his son. In fact, from the beginning of the Bible (written 1400 B.C.) to the last book (A.D. 96), God is showing us why we need Jesus and how to find him. Just as a plant’s root system propagates and occupies the pot that encloses it, Jesus permeates the entire Bible. Therefore, the motif of the Bible is the story of the redemption of mankind and it all points to Jesus as the messiah and savior who secures this for all.

    When other popular teachers died, their movement died with them. However, after the death of Jesus, his movement continued to build strength and grew rapidly. James, Peter, John and Paul, Jude and the writer of Hebrews were convinced of Jesus’ resurrection, they believed this with such conviction that they did not even try to defend or prove this. They stated it as fact. “In each narrative, names are given of those to whom the resin Christ presented himself (Barnett 130)”. This can be verified and proven true, based on eyewitnesses. After the death of Christ, the lives of the writers of the New Testament were radically changed. They traveled where they had not gone to reach out to people outside their comfort zone. They died in their challenge

    The truth that is openly preached and emphasized in the Bible is that men’s future existence largely depends on a resurrection after death or a translation without witnessing death at all.

    After watching the debate between Professor Licona and Professor Martin, I have come to the conclusion that Jesus rose from the grave on the third day and that this is proven by not only theological theories, but also by historical facts. As Licona says, this is extremely crucial to the Gospel in every way. If Jesus didn’t really rise from the grave, it makes Jesus a false prophet and disproves Christianity; making our faith worthless (1 Corinthians 15). This would be disastrous for the world considering 32 percent of the world population profess to following Christ. In order to prove Christ’s resurrection Licona separates his argument into two parts: Facts and Methods.

    Rather, it was the surprising fulfillment of all of the old, prophetic promises. Jesus came as the Servant Messiah spoken of by Isaiah. He was rejected by his own people but instead of judging them, he is judged on their behalf, bearing the consequences of their sin. So the crucifixion scene, it comes to a close, and Jesus' body is placed in a tomb. But the book ends with a surprising twist--the last chapter. The disciples, they discover on Sunday morning that Jesus' tomb is empty. And then all of a sudden people start seeing Jesus alive from the

    In this paper, I will examine Jesus’ resurrection from the dead because, according to many scholars, there is no other event in the life of Jesus that is as significant. In order to better comprehend the magnitude of this event, I will begin by looking at what can be discerned from the Resurrection of Jesus. Then, I will explore the two different kinds of resurrection testimony that there are: the confessional tradition and narrative tradition. For the confessional tradition, I will look at a few examples including St. Paul’s confession in First Corinthians which is composed of four parts: Jesus’ death, the question of the empty tomb, the third day, and the witnesses. For the narrative tradition, I will briefly examine the two sources of information

Do we see its pages as the world’s greatest literary volume? Do we see the Bible as a secret disclosure of coming events and the consummation of the age? Do we see it as a tool to win arguments from a theological stand point? Or do we see it as fragments of truth that will confirm and strengthen our prejudices?
