CHRISTIANITY Claim Christianity claims that God sent his only son, Jesus Christ, to earth over 2,000 years ago to save humanity from sin. One of the main reasons Jesus was sent to earth was to preach the word of God and convert people into Christians. Jesus is the perfect human and was created in God’s image. Although Jesus is not God, God is Jesus. So for those few individuals that saw Jesus Christ have seen the face of God. Unlike other religions, Christians do not have to ponder about what God
do not believe in the resurrection of Jesus. To take the resurrection out of Christianity is like taking the heat out of fire, the darkness out of the night, all the blood out of a man. Simply put, you cannot separate the resurrection from Christianity. The resurrection of Christ is the hinge on which Christianity hangs. It is the foundation of our faith. Yet there are many who try to refute this momentous history of the church. Josh McDowell said, “The resurrection of Jesus Christ is either one of
The resurrection of Jesus Christ is one of the most debated issues throughout history. Christians place their trust in a resurrected Christ for salvation and a promise of eternal life. If the resurrection never happened, Christianity is a lie and people have been mislead for generations. On the other hand if the resurrection is true, Christianity is true also. This issue is of extreme importance because one’s soul is at stake. If all the claims that Christians make for the resurrection are true
April 2018 Proof of the Resurrection Jesus was raised from the dead can be proven. I have learned this from reading the book The Case for the Resurrection of Jesus. All the points in this book are very solid proof of Jesus resurrection. The book clearly provides evidence which leads me to this Bible verse. “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life” (KJV, John 3:16). Jesus being raised from the dead
the resurrection of Jesus Christ there are many different theories on what actually happened. As Christians we believe what is said in the Bible, but sometimes our minds cannot help but wonder "what if". The legitimacy of the Bible regarding the resurrection of Jesus has been questioned time and again, what most do not realize is, there is proof that Jesus rose from the grave. With the empty tomb, eyewitnesses and the changed lives of the Disciples, we are able to prove that the resurrection of Jesus
physical resurrection of Jesus, yet still profess to be Christians. I am not sure how they work all that out, but for me the physical resurrection, taken together with the death of Jesus on the cross and the Ascension, are fundamental to the belief that Jesus Christ is the Son of God. Part of the proof of who Jesus is comes from the Resurrection. As we read in the Gospel stories and in the opening chapter of Acts of the Apostles, the physical resurrection of Jesus was proof for the Apostles, Jesus’ closest
This paper is a review of the book The Resurrection of Jesus: A New Historiographical Approach by Michael Licona. This book is comprised of pages that “investigate the question of the historicity of Jesus’ resurrection while providing unprecedented interaction with the literature of professional historians outside of the community of biblical scholars on both hermeneutical and methodological considerations.” The book is separated into five long chapters: “Chapter 1: Important Consideration pertaining
Crucifixion and Resurrection of Christ in History "For the Jews, Jesus arrived as the long awaited Messiah. But on His arrival many did not recognize Him. Others refused to accept Him because He did not fit their image as a King. Everywhere He went in His short life on earth, He made enemies and devoted friends. Men hated Him so deeply that they sought to end His life and did crucify Him. Amazingly as the Bible had predicted centuries before their occurrence, all of the events of His life from His
support the claims that Jesus truly was the God that he claimed to be. The evidence that affirms Jesus’ claims to be true include his lifestyle and teachings, the prophecies that he fulfilled, historical facts, and the dramatic transformation of the lives of his disciples. Many may ask Christians how they can believe in a Savior without proof of his divinity; but, in reality, God has given us an abundance of signs. He is still providing us with compelling evidence
Christ 12/6/16 Historicity of Resurrection No other event in history has been scrutinized and criticized as much as the resurrection of Jesus Christ. The resurrection of Christ is the base of the Christian faith. If the resurrection of Jesus never happened, then there would not be Christianity. The Apostle Paul says in 1Corinthians 15:14, "And if Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith." So some people believe that the resurrection of Jesus is no historically accurate
