N. T. Wrights Youtube Video: Death, Resurrection And The After Death

The Resurrection of Jesus Christ is the foundation of our faith and without it we would not be where we are today. Each of the four gospels include Jesus’s resurrection, but in very different ways. This does not mean that one gospel is more accurate than the other. It simply signifies that each gospel was written collaboratively and was based off another. None of these gospels describe the resurrection, but rather describe it through the witnesses who opened the tomb. All four gospels were each written individually, with each author having a distinct style and well defined points of emphasis. They each have a certain aspect of Jesus that they portray in unique ways to convey Jesus’ resurrection.

The concept of life after death has been around practically as long as life itself. Our beliefs about life after death can have a profound effect on our attitudes toward life. Most individual's beliefs about life after death are directly related to their cultural or religious affiliations. According to Montagu, "Of all the many forms which natural religion has assumed none probably has exerted so deep and far – reaching an influence on human life as the belief in immortality" (1955, p.15).

Life after death is a very controversial topic around the world and in society. Throughout our lives, we often wonder ‘what happens when we die?’. There are many different beliefs as to what happens to our bodies and to our souls after we die. Religion provides answers to this question, however different religions offer different beliefs and answers to this question. There are two basic kinds of religion in this world: Eastern and Western. Through learning about the key beliefs of Catholics and Hindus I have been able to learn some similar and some different perspectives on the forever debatable question ‘what happens when we die?’.

One of the biggest arguments that has been made is if there is life after death, which has been argued between different religions and beliefs. One example being Reincarnation and the Christian belief. What is reincarnation? It is the rebirth of the soul, like playing a game and restarting it over to make different choices. Reincarnation is something that, some people can not simply accept is even a possibility. Even if it has been proven by a world know psychiatrist, Ian Stevenson, others still doubt that it is a possibility and will come up with things to oppose or deflect the idea. Reincarnation is one of many theories that has been made, to prove whether there is a life after death or if it is all, in fact, a myth.

First, the religious concept views death as the commencement of a new life (Campione, 2004). Next, the

The afterlife has been an important subject of debate for millennia. From the early days of Greek philosophers with their land of Hades, to modern quantum mechanics and their talk of biocentrism. The subject of death is an all-important subject as the world not only works to discover what happens after death but also prevent its inevitability. Many wise words of advice have been spoken about the subject from a variety of schools of thought. Arguably the most popular theory is derived from Christianity, it speaks of the tale of an all-powerful being, creating the world and its inhabitants. He creates man, the most intelligent animal of them all, in his image and mortal by nature. This mortality will invertibility lead to other worlds,

The article starts off by explaining empirical evidence of life after death. It is said that most convincing evidence comes from near death experiences, out of body experiences,

St. Paul supports John Hick's theory that there is another spiritual world. He says it is a logical argument, and uses a plant as evidence. Paul said 'when you sow a seed in the ground, it doesn't sprout to life unless it dies'( 1 Corinthians V36) and 'God provides that seed with the body he wishes; he gives each seed its own proper body'( 1 Corinthians V38). Likewise with a person - it is a physical being and has the potential to become a 'mature spiritual person' in heaven in a replica form with forces from God. This new body however, is different as it is immortal, non-physical and higher up in the hierarchy below God and angles. This can be considered to be a logical conclusion as it supports the view from the bible that we are 'a little lower than angels'. It is also logical as it makes sense to suggest that a miraculous event such as this would come from an all powerful being, and there is nothing more powerful than God. As the resurrected place is spiritual it is not subject to the laws of nature, for example aging, so it is rational to suggest that they could be eternal as the bodies are no longer in a physical world.

Mark’s proclamation for the Gospel was, “Jesus died for our sins, was buried, and was raised from the dead” (1Cor 15:3-5). Furthermore there are two important factors of the gospel message that must be considered. First, the Gospel message is centered on Christ. Because of the influx of many false teachers and preachers who are in the world and church today it is imperative that the true and living Christ be preached correctly and effectively. Secondly, the gospel of Christ should not be altered to fit individual’s personal desires; however, it the gospel is altered then the gospel is no longer a true

The Bible is the holy book for the basis of Christian religious and spiritual teachings. It is essentially a library comprised of over 66 books that have been broken up into the Old Testament and the New Testament, which contains the four canonical gospels (JGA, 11). The gospels, which translates to good news, center their teachings around Jesus’s life, from his birth to his resurrection. The sole purpose of the Gospels are to give God’s followers a foundation for believing in Him and Jesus by providing spiritual guidance and advice on how to live a life as a devoted Christian. There are four Gospels, Mark, Matthew, Luke, and John; each being written and published at different times starting from 65 CE to 100 CE (JGA, 13). Each one of these gospels writers have a different principal emphasis in presenting Jesus and his life’s work.

Most people with a general understanding of the Bible know that the first four books of the New Testament are called the Gospels. Most people also understand on a broad level that the Gospel seach tell the story of Jesus Christ -- His birth, ministry, teachings, miracles, death, and returning from the dead. What many people don't know, however, is that there's a striking difference between the first three Gospels -- Matthew, Mark, and Luke, which are known together as the Synoptic Gospels --and the Gospel of John. In fact, the Gospel of John is so (like nothing else in the world) that 90 percent of the material it contains (related to/looking at/thinking about) Jesus' life cannot be found in the other Gospels.

There is great diversity in the Gospels that depict Jesus life and death. Mark, Matthew, Luke and John are all completely different perspectives however with some Shared similarities. Since the gospels were not written immediately following Jesus death then I can almost imagine information went around orally, household to household, community to community. Almost like a long game of telephone which most know information can get added or subtracted over time. Professor Koester stated about the early Christians that, “Ledged, myth, hymn and prayer are the vehicles of which oral tradition developed”. Overall the message of the gospels were to bring the story of Jesus and good

Resurrection which additionally can be alluded as Life after death, is one of the imperative factor which demonstrates the general purpose of the discourse. Each religion, including Hindu, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Buddhism, and so on put stock in eternal life which demonstrates that human soul can not be decimated. This is the reason it is viewed as interminable, however the human physical body is an issue which is to rot one day and die due to death so I would not put stock in such gadget to decimate individuals' spirit or had no detectable impact on that

The following texts are some of the scriptures that tell about the death and resurrection of Jesus. These scriptures are verses that the believer can believe on the promises of merciful God.

Many different religions around the world see the importance in life after death but these beliefs do vary a lot and each religion will believe completely different things. Two core religions in this essay that will be looked into are Islamic and Catholic. What do they believe will happen when someone dies? Is there another life after they die? Heaven? Hell? Or Paradise? Through this you will the importance in the belief of life after death, and the practices, rituals, and prayers that provide evidence and physical proof of how they show this belief. Then to go onto to discuss the wider implications holding onto these beliefs can have.
