Resurrection

[trueblue]

I know there are many different viewpoints on resurrection. I believe that because of the resurrection of Christ, all people will be resurrected with perfect bodies. I believe that those who are good in this life will be resurrected as well as those who are bad and that our souls, which consist of our spirit and our body together, will never again be separated throughout all eternity.

I base these beliefs on scripture, including 1 Corinthians 15:20-23, Job 19:25-26, Luke 24:39, 1 Corinthians 15:41-42 and others.

What do y'all believe?

I believe that basing anything on the bible is crap. You might as well base your belief system on a Harry Potter novel, it's about as realistic as the bible. If Jesus had resurected, do you really think that only the apostles would have seen him and that he wouldn't show himself to everyone to prove his god?

From dust to dust, spirit and body are not one. To me, heaven or anything eternal cannot reside within our own universe or realm, because the changes in that are constant. In fact, we know that this planet will not survive indefinitely. Eventually, the Sun will die out and all life with it. So the Resurrection must entail something completely different; something we do not yet understand.

There are some mysteries that won't be revealed until our Savior comes again. But things that are told to us in the bible we can count on...and that includes new eternal bodies,without defect and immune to illness and age.

When Jesus was resurrected, his mother didn't recognize him...at first. But he still looked like a man, and she did recognize him after he spoke to her. So I don't know how we will look different, but we will still resemble ourselves.

I hope I resemble myself minus a little poundage and about 20 years.

Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days. - Crash Davis

I don't think I'm mistaken when I suppose you haven't read the Bible much. If I am, I apologize, but it seemed you missed the part where he showed himself to others. Many others. Thousands have seen and testified and we have those records. And still more have seen, testified and recorded what they saw but the records have not yet been recovered.

The Bible can be difficult to understand, but that doesn't mean it isn't true. Like many textbooks, it only means that you learn proportionate to the effort you're willing to put in. "True" and "hard" are very different things.

lol. You and me both!

I believe in resurrection. I base that on faith. Guess those who won't, or refuse, to believe will simply be worm food after death.

Regardless, it was only written about way after the facts, 200 to 500 years later depending on the part of the bible, so that even if it's written that lots of people saw the resurrection, that's certainly not proof that 200 years later someone wrote that down. The whole book is total crap, not an eyewitness account.

I believe in the resurrection due to the whispers of the Holy Spirit and the testimony found in the scriptures.

And yet some people think government can do a better job than God at providing free health care for life

I believe in the resurrection of Aslan.

It's a start.

You do realize that Aslan is a type for Christ dont you?

I tend to view the Bible as a collection of finctional stories that show certain universal truths. In my opinion theres some good life lessons to be learned in the bible, however, I outright reject any religious text on this planet to be the word of god.

I believe in the resurrection of Aslan.

It's a start.

Yeah. In fact I have the Bible right next to The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe in the fiction section of my library.

Which many churches tried to get banned from public libraries because it was so "anti-christian".

Banning the Bible is probably the smartest and at the same time the most bold move Christians have ever attempted. I applaude the effort of these noble churches.

You're accusing, yet you have no proof that it isn't true. But, boy, are you in a load of crap if it is, aren't you? That's okay. You've got plenty of company.

Yes I can prove that it isn't true: do you really think that if god existed and the bible and all its miracles were true that we'd not be able to find any proof of anything?
Also, you're believing just in case? Not only is that totally lame, but how do you know that you've chosen the right religion to believe in just in case, since you have no proof of anything, there's no way to know if you picked the right one.

Yet have you proof that the all powerful and vengeful flying Flying Spaghetti Monster or the Invisible Pink Unicorn do not exists.

If your god would send people who have lived a moral, just, and deligent life to "hell" simply because they didnt embrace Jesus Christ then fuck em i would rather go to hell. What about peoples who have never been exposed to Christianity? Are they just destined to go to hell as well?

We do? Did we ever make the claim that either of them dont exist? In fact, have you ever made the claim they do? If you have reason to believe in such things then believe in them.

Find me twelve witnesses who will sincerely testify with power to what they have seen and maybe people will believe them as well. What I can tell you is that I know God is real. Ive felt His power, His glory, His love and recognize Him. I am a witness. Ive seen miracles. Ive been healed by the power of God. Ive taught with it. Ive been taught by it. Ive seen God change lives, particularly my own. After having all these witnesses, why should I deny Him?

Has the Spaghetti monster changed your life? Has it healed you? Has it given you power to heal and to teach? How about the Invisible Pink Unicorn?

If your god would send people who have lived a moral, just, and deligent life to "hell" simply because they didnt embrace Jesus Christ then fuck em i would rather go to hell. What about peoples who have never been exposed to Christianity? Are they just destined to go to hell as well?

No one. but one, has lived a just and moral life. If they had, the atonement would be irrelevant. They wouldnt need God to pay the requirements of justice. They wouldnt need mercy.

Only one person has lived a just and moral life, and He chose to go to hell to free the captives. He descended below all things to lift us above them all. He purchased our souls in blood and suffered so we wouldn't have to.

You don't even know what hell is. You dont understand the nature of man, nor His potential. You could know if you studied and sought the Truth. But you believe you already know, and so you will never know until you are humbled to a point where you need to find it.

I can promise you that in the day you need it, the Lord will extend His mercy to you. He will welcome you in open arms. He is always welcoming us with open arms. There are just alot of us who are too stubborn to look for Him.
