Lee Strobel: Understanding the Resurrection of Jesus | Kirk Cameron on TBN 

He is risen!!! Hallelujah

Awesome conversation! Just watched "The Case for Christ". It's cool to see Lee talking about Christianity today!

Lee Strobel (along with countless others) is proof that God can draw anyone to Himself. The thing is we have to get over ourselves to come to His calling. Be humble, which is hard. It's amazing to see a man championing Christ when he was so against Him at one time, much like Paul, but Lee didn't even need to encounter Him in person.

Just face it, learning about God is just plain fun!

Oh I love these MEN OF GOD❤ GOD HELP MY FAMILY TO FOLLOW YOU ❤❤❤❤❤❤

Amen the truth about Jesus is out to all people to believe in our lord Jesus

Such powerful testimony of our Lord and Saviour! God Bless you both, Kirk and Lee!

this is so good! I recently watched The Case for Christ and it was a great film! As an archaeologist myself I love how ALL evidence is backed up! Great! Thank you Kirk for this takeaway 😊😊

Shared this with a Muslim friend who has tried debating me on the crucifixion and has stopped being willing to dialogue with me about it. Thank u sirs.

Excellent. Fair. Truthful. Engaging. Develops and models fact based dialogues in the public.

St.Paul said..." I delivered to you, as of first importance, that which I also received..." Keeping it straight and true.

Thank you for doing this Mr L. Strobel. What your saying is so true! Your book and the film made from it really helped me and others.

I love me some Lee Strobel... Kirk Cameron is awesome, and bless him for having him on, he needs to try to get Greg Koukl and Frank Turek on too.

Happy Easter!!!

I am just reading your book The case for Christ and there you are on RU-vid 😊 I need to loan this book to a few people I know, it is really good

He is risen, hallelujah

Love this!

Not a fan of Kurt but I like his guest. I did not know why God led me to this video, as I said, REALLY NOT a fan of Kurt, but now I know. It was to learn something. I knew most everything medical here as I had heard it and surmised some, before, but I never knew the meaning or the story behind the word "excruciating".... God leads us, as long as we follow we will see the reason. I hope yall have a very happy and blessed 2023.

This is really good stuff

❤ watching to this. Kirk is a 👍🏻 host

Lee Lee Strobel is a wonderful gentleman

Wow that was good !

Hallelujah hallelujah hal - leeeee- luuuuu- jahhhhhh!!!!

Only the Spirit in a man/woman can understand and be grateful for this, but it is “foolishness” to an unbeliever. ❤

The case for christ is such a great book! Thank you, Lee Strobel !

Where can I watch this full interview?

Mike seaver Love the video!

Thank you for this! Thank you Lord Jesus for giving your life for us and for the promise of Heaven! ❤️

Banyak yang menolak kenyataan itu. Tapi banyak juga yang percaya. Selalu ada 2 pihak. Saya berdoa untuk seluruh orang percaya agar selalu taat dalam keyakinannya kepada Tuhan Yesus sampai kematian kita datang. Amin.

12 And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.

The truth will always be the truth whether you belive

Well said . God bless 🕊️

You are my favorite Christian person out there on television

Timcast would like to have you on his show. There is a guy there named Ian. I feel he is so close to salvation.

Hello

My Pastor shared at out Easter service last year that if anyone wants to prove a Christian wrong then simply provide for us Jesus' dead body....and we will honestly claim.out faith is based upon nothing.....which they can't provide a body, that was the point!

Love this!! Thank you boys, God Bless you and keep spreading the good news!❤️✌️😊

Jesus Lives!!!

Great theatrics; Kirk. (BOO.)

We all can name two Bible characters who return from the grave: Jesus and Lazarus. But the Bible lists 10 events in which the dead are raised (not counting the future resurrection).

Is there any evidence for all the people that were raised from the dead and came out of their tombs when Jesus died?

So thankful for u men sharing truth

Jesus he knows me.

Amen !! Thank you for this video on RU-vid. This same Jesus is coming again soon to put an end to all this evil and wickedness. No worries if you have trusted Jesus in your heart to save you; if not pray and call out to Him now to save you.

✝️☦️🙏🏽

Praise God! Jesus is alive, he is risen!!!

For those interested in such topics, I recommend an e-book "Unearthing the Gospel" by Margaret Szewczenko 🌼

The best explanation for the empty tomb is that the Romans did it. They had the ability and the motives to do it. They had the most to lose if the body of Jesus just rotted in the grave.

“…. Greater is He that is in us, than He who is in the world”. See 1 John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="138">2:18</a>. Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard the anti-Christ is coming, even now many anti-Christs have come. (Vs22) Who is the liar? It is the man/woman who denies that Jesus is the Christ.” “You shall know the Truth, and the Truth shall set you free.” Soli Deo Gloria.❤

Any physical evidence?

If it’s true it changes everything. “If”

Jesus had an extremely short crucifixion, died and had an near death experience (NDE), then rose from that tomb. Josephus also wrote about a man who survived the crucifixion. Codex Sinaiticus is the oldest manuscript of Mark, and we know that Mark was altered later by adding text to it.

It's always sad that so many will refuse to believe, not because of lack of evidence but because they don't want to believe. God could appear right in front of them and they still wouldn't. Scripture says this. They suppress the truth in unrighteousness. We have to pray that God would give them repentance and belief.

My question is, if the people who wrote the bible 40 years or so after his death, then how do they know that Jesus was resurrected 3 days later if they weren't there to see it?

It is crazy that after thousands of years we still need to prove Christ was nailed to the cross, died and then on the third day he rose from the dead and proved his is the Christ, the son of God Almighty who came down from heaven and became man and gave his life as a ransom to take our wickedness and sins upon himself. Great is the Father, the Son,and the Holy Spirit. Thanks to Jesus, i and my family will live with him FOREVER.

I enjoy hearing interviews with Lee Strobel, as well as his 3 movies. He has done so much research on all of his subjects.

4 Days after the confliction with no water. He had to do it, and do it on his own free will. Ecclesiastes <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="545">9:5</a>

Hallelujah ❤🙏

How do you have a relationship with God?

This is Lee Strobel, guys. The movie "The Case for Christ (2017)" is based on a true story about this very guy, being an atheist and investigative journalist. Trying to disprove Christianity by any means necessary because his wife was becoming a Christian and he didn't want the family to rely on faith. The movie is amazing. I highly recommend everyone watch it.

Lee Strobel spoke of the improbability of mass hallucinations. I wonder what the probability is that a group of people would intentionally put themselves in danger of being crucified themselves. Plus, live the lives of vagabonds while teaching the gospel throughout the old world. If they didn't actually witness the miracle of Jesus's life after death.

7 And lo, HE SHALL SUFFER temptations, and pain of body, hunger, thirst, and fatigue, even more than man can suffer, except it be unto death; for behold, blood cometh from every pore, so great shall be his anguish for the wickedness and the abominations of his people. 8 And he shall be called JESUS CHRIST, THE SON OF GOD, the Father of heaven and earth, the Creator of all things from the beginning; and his mother shall be called Mary. 9 And lo, HE COMETH unto his own, THAT SALVATION MIGHT COME unto the children of men even through faith on his name; and even after all this they shall consider him a man, and say that he hath a devil, and shall scourge him, and shall crucify him.

The question is what is the evidence for resurrection.

Praise to Jesus Christ for paying for all of our sins he was and is the only perfect lamb

Kirk - please reach out to Tim Pool to arrange to be on his podcast. I think it would be a great opportunity and a very friendly but constructive environment.

The problem isn't people don't believe because they believe in all sorts of things that require faith. It's they don't want to change their life styl. They like sinning.

Saying it's indisputable, is just not a credible fact, he can make!

Crazy. I just watched a video that said without his ankles being broken, there is almost no way he died while on the cross. Hmmmmm….

1 John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="304">5:4</a>-5 Do you believe?

1 Corinthians <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="78">1:18</a>

Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: and if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain. Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: and if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins. Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable. But now is Christ risen from the dead, and become the firstfruits of them that slept. 1 Corinthians <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="912">15:12</a>‭-‬20 KJV

Matthew <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1673">27:53</a>&54? When THEY adamantly claim the scriptures are just words, then why do THEY fear the power of The Word so? Focus on the miracles as THEY want to maintain Christ Jesus merely a mortal prophet and Christianity as social engineering per the social engineers... Ugh

Jesus is alive I talked to Him this morning

Yet people feel confident in arguing about how the pyramids were constructed.

Lee looks better with a beard.

I have yet to see someone mention the fact that Mark describes Simon of Cyrene as the father of Rufus and Alexander. This means that both Mark and his readers definitely knew Simon’s sons (else the reference would be pointless) and Mark most likely knew Simon. This means that Mark had the testimony of an eyewitness to the crucifixion or at least the testimony of that witness’s sons. This gives irrefutable evidence of the historicity of Jesus and his death.

As a former straight edge Atheist who experienced the afterlife in 2005, Jesus is God Almighty amen.

The gospels were writen 5 or more centuries by Greek Catholics, who spoke to people, who never meet Jesus or his apostles!

Thats one of the reasons the deciples died rather than deny Jesus .. it goes agaisnt human nature .. would you die for somone knowing that they were lieing... of coarse not ..wich means they died knowing Jesus had rose again an whitnessed it and instead of denying him they died praising his name

When I first heard Lee Strobel speak I got very excited that he was that Christian and good human being I was always hoping to see. Watching him talk to someone as low as Kirk Cameron genuinely breaks my heart.

The trouble is we keep thinking the Bible is a reliable source. Best case scenario, 4 of Jesus best friends wrote about the crucifixion, it’s fair to say this could be one sided. A person rising from the dead is not the sort of thing people do not notice, yet the best we have is this. No sane person would accept that anyone else arose from the dead if the evidence was 4 letters by people who claim to be the best friend of the resurrected person, so there is no logic accepting the Jesus resurrection as true with the same weak claims. To put this into a perspective you might understand, fast forward to the year 1977, in this year we had the vast majority of Americans educated, color cameras, doctors who knew what death was, and had multiple ways to test death, and the cause of death. Well in the year 1977 a very famous person named Elvis Presley died, doctors who specialized in death (coroners) signed the death certificate, multiple people saw the body, there is even a leaked photo of the corpse, despite all of this there is thousands of people who claim to have seen Elvis alive after his confirmed death. There are videos, and even people alive today that will tell you their testimony, people who were not even a fan of Elvis, yet despite all of this, most people (including myself) will accept that Elvis is dead. So given all this evidence for the resurrection of Elvis, to accept he is dead and Jesus rose from the dead is the greatest double standard of all time. So if you believe Jesus rose from the dead, and Elvis did not ask yourself 2 simple questions. 1. What evidence would you need to believe Elvis rose from the dead? 2. Do you have that evidence for Jesus? Because if your answer to question 2 is “no” then your beliefs are illogical, and you have a massive double standard.

That final proof that Jesus had died. "A flow of blood and water." When the heart stops, the heavier red platelets separate from the clear blood serum. This only happen in death.

Atheist to number and letter forms and what?

Jesus Was Born Incarnate Jesus was born incarnate to a young Jewish virgin, lived a sin free life, was illegally persecuted and then crucified on a cross on Calvary. He arose three days later defeating death and ascended into Heaven where He sits at the right hand of God. “Jesus knew He was entering the world to be the final and ultimate sacrifice for sin. His body had been divinely prepared by God specifically for that purpose. Jesus was going to die for the sins of the world, and He knew it. Moreover, He was doing it willingly and joyfully . That was the whole point of His incarnate birth. Jesus came to earth, of course, to reveal God to mankind. He came to teach truth. He came to fulfill the Law. He came to offer His kingdom. He came to show us how to live. He came to reveal God’s love. He came to bring peace. He came to heal the sick. He came to minister to the needy. He was raised in a family who didn't believe in His divinity. He had six half-brothers and two or three half-sisters who didn't believe in His divinity until after His resurrection. What gets me is demons knew His divinity but men and women of His time didn't. Strange. I presume Mary and Joseph knew His divinity. But in Luke <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="169">2:49</a>-50 [NKJV] “He said to them, [His earthly parents] “Why did you seek Me? Did you not know that I must be about My Father’s business?” Did they not understand Jesus' divinity? This makes me wonder. "But seek first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness, and all these things shall be added to you." (Matthew <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="393">6:33</a> NKJV) Luke <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="203">3:23</a> states that Jesus was "about 30 years of age" at the start of his ministry. Jesus preformed 14-15 miracles (they were called signs) in the three years or so of His ministry on earth. Many miracles were preformed by Jesus Christ but not specifically identified and recorded in God's word. Jesus' miracles were followed by Jesus forgiving the individuals of their sins and commanded they sin no more. Many of Jesus' miracles were not identified. No other religious leader forgave mankind of their sins. Our sins separate us from God, and there’s nothing we can do to make things right. So, we need someone to save us from our sins and make us acceptable to God. That someone is Jesus Christ. 'Neither is there salvation in any other: for among men there is given no other Name under heaven, whereby we must be saved.” (Acts <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="252">4:12</a> GNV) That’s why God sent Jesus to earth. Jesus’ death on the cross paid for every wrong we’ve ever committed or will do. Jesus made it possible for us to have a relationship with God the Father. I am a sinner from birth and need help, Jesus Christ is that help, my only hope. Therefore by the deeds of the law (Ten Commandments) no flesh will be justified in His sight, for by the law our sins are recognized not saved. I try to confess my sins and iniquities before Jesus Christ, at the foot of the cross daily. Jesus said in Matthew <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1699">28:19</a>, to His disciples that: “All authority has been given to Me in heaven and on earth.” I will not have to stand before The Great White Throne of God, my sins have been cleansed by Jesus Christ's crucifixion on the cross. And I am clothed in the righteousness of Christ of all my sins and iniquities before-today, today and forever. I Love Jesus Christ despite the fact that I'm human and I fail Him daily; I pick up my cross daily and follow Him. I believe that Jesus is the Son of God and that He was crucified on the cross where He died for my sins and inequities and that He rose again on the 3rd day to give me a way through salvation and sanctification. He loves me dearly and forgives my sins and inequities. His Word says that if I deny Him before men, He will deny me before His Father. Following is one of the greatest verses in God's Word. “For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in Him should not perish but have everlasting life.” (John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="196">3:16</a> NKJV) I am a Christ-follower and live in the Kingdom of God on earth in Jesus Christ, my Lord, Savior and Leader. I have faith and trust in the grace and mercy of God for eternal life for my soul in Heaven when I pass from this life into paradise. I proclaim this openly to the world, that I am sinner, that I am sorry for my sins and iniquities and repent of my sins and iniquities and receive Jesus Christ by faith into my heart, mind and soul as my Lord, Savior nd Leader. I openly confess Him as Lord from this moment on, I want to follow Him, I pledge to obey Him daily, and read His word. I will include those in my prayers who are lost and have chosen to deny God, Jesus Christ, and the Holy Spirit. Jesus Christ declared: “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me.” (John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="846">14:6</a> NKJV) I am in the “Lamb's Book of Life” and will not face “The Great White Throne of God” which leads to Hell. God bless

What brings all denominations together into one Body? The answer is found below. New Covenant Whole Gospel: Let us now share the Old Testament Gospel found below with the whole world. On the road to Emmaus He said the Old Testament is about Him. He is the very Word of God in John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="61">1:1</a>, 14. Awaken Church to this truth. Jer <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1891">31:31</a> Behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah: Jer <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1892">31:32</a> Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by husband unto them, saith the LORD: Jer <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1893">31:33</a> But this shall be the covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, saith the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be my people. Jer <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1894">31:34</a> And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more. Is the most important genealogy in the Bible found in Matthew <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="61">1:1</a> (Gal. <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="196">3:16</a>)? Is God's Son the ultimate fulfillment of Israel (John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="109">1:49</a>)? Why has the modern Church done a pitiful job of sharing the Gospel with modern Orthodox Jews? Why would someone tell them they are God's chosen people and then fail to share the Gospel with them? Who is the seed of the woman promised in Genesis <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="195">3:15</a>? Who is the "son" in Psalm 2? Who is the "suffering servant" of Isaiah 53? Who would fulfill the New Covenant promised in Jeremiah <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1891">31:31</a>-34? Who would fulfill the timeline of Daniel chapter 9 before the second temple was destroyed? Why have we not heard this simple Old Testament Gospel preached on Christian television in the United States on a regular basis? Once a person comes to understand the New Covenant promised to Israel and Judah in Jeremiah <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1891">31:31</a>-34, which is found fulfilled by Christ during the first century in Hebrews <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="486">8:6</a>-13, and Hebrews <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="616">10:16</a>-18, and specifically applied to the Church in 2 Corinthians <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="186">3:6</a>-8, and Hebrews <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="742">12:22</a>-24, man-made Bible doctrines fall apart. Let us now learn to preach the whole Gospel until He comes back. The King of Israel is risen from the dead! (John <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="109">1:49</a>, Acts <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="156">2:36</a>) We are not come to Mount Sinai in Hebrews <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="738">12:18</a>. We are come instead to the New Covenant church of Mount Zion and the blood in Hebrews <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="742">12:22</a>-24. 1Jn <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="202">3:22</a> And whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight. 1Jn <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="203">3:23</a> And this is his commandment, That we should believe on the name of his Son Jesus Christ, and love one another, as he gave us commandment. 1Jn <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="204">3:24</a> And he that keepeth his commandments dwelleth in him, and he in him. And hereby we know that he abideth in us, by the Spirit which he hath given us. Watch the RU-vid videos “The New Covenant” by David Wilkerson, or Bob George, and David H.J. Gay.

If Jesus didn't die from crucifixion, then presumably he would have...what....lived out the rest of his natural days some place in hiding, while the Apostles traveled around the world, and got themselves executed for telling everyone lies that he died and ascended when they knew better? How did he get out of the tomb?

What about the Roman Guard watching the tomb of Jesus and witnessing the earthquake, and angels opening the door of the tomb? For which instead of being killed for letting the prisoner escape ( or rather be taken away ) instead they were given large amounts of money to swear that he WAS taken away. I'm sure Joseph of Aramathea had no problem getting to bury the body of Jesus in his solid secure tomb as Pilate was most likely very happy to have a secure place to lock him in. Not just thrown on the heap. Jesus was completely dead on the cross. The soldiers that stuck a spear piercing his side were the Coroner's and record keepers. Piercing his side in the correct spot let clear fluid out if he were already dead thereby insuring no need to break the legs. The word says that ' his record is true ' and the record was that the prisoner was indeed deceased. If they let one slip by then they would be on a cross next. No fainting here. No one comes down with any life left.

This is great, if I believe in Jesus I am going to have a fabulous time when I'm dead. This has got to be the biggest scam ever.

Mr Cameron.... My name is Adam, and i wish to ask you something... Why is it, or why do you think that God went from speaking to us with burning bushes, or sending Angels like he did to Abraham, etc. To pure silence?!? I mean yes, we (ALL) get "FEELINGS", or "VOICES" that makes us feel certain ways, or like our subconsciousness, or "SELF THOUGHT", we can hear.... But why do we not have anything "DEFINITIVE"?!? There is nothing to say that he cannot speak to us anymore, or that he cannot appear to us anymore even, etc. In fact Revelation among many other books tells us he is with us even until the end of the world itself. So why?!? Why does he not come to us? Or send his angels anymore? Or speak to us like he did Moses and Abraham?!? The reason i ask Mr Cameron.... Is i am longing for the voice of my God... I want it more than all.... To just ask "WHY"?!? I have seen so much, so many people i loved, and still love suffer so much... I have lost so much.. And i cannot get over it. It hurts too much.... It's unbearable, rips my soul apart the more i think of it.... I wouldn't wish what i have been though upon (ANYONE)... If i could take the place of my Courtney i would.. In a instance.. I love her that much... I know he is real.. "GOD" that is.... The things my Courtney told me that happened to her when she was upon deaths door, being in a "ROOM FULL OF GEARS" while she was being kept company by a man , that she had no fear, who told her she would be okay...... I just cannot help but ask why..... I mean.... He is God... He commands a force that our tiny minds cannot even fathom, why could he not send a angel to speak with someone, or appear as a voice in a fire like he did Moses?!? Why the silence?!?

Only silly people believe in God. However, I proudly say I am one of them.. He is risen.

The resurrection is not proof of Jesus being God. It's proof that the God and Father of Jesus can raise the dead. The hope is that those who believe will be raised to life by the Father.

A "lie" to be able to deceive some that it's true must have some truth in it, ** Genesis <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1564">26:4</a>, <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1694">28:14</a>, <a href="#" class="seekto" data-time="1038">17:18</a>-21, 21-12**, Muhammad is an Ismaelite. It would mean that at the time of Muhammad, even Arabs have heard about the miracles of Jesus, and believe that Jesus was seen alive, that the Quran had to "explain" that Jesus was never crucified. The timing of the crucifixion was crucial to avoid rioting. God in His sovereignty had timed it to happen on a day before Sabbath. During those times where most people only walk to go around, most of the Jews would have been in their own localities or at home for the Sabbath. Only interested residents of Jerusalem would have witnessed the crucifixion. And after Sabbath, there will be no cause for rioting, for "the crucified" was alive. Maybe this is the reason for the controversy, whether Jesus really was crucified or not. It is said that even Barnabas wrote that Jesus was not crucified. He was not among the original 12 disciples, the apostles of Jesus Christ, he may have not witnessed the crucifixion, but saw the resurrected Jesus Christ.

One of the problems with the nonbelieving community is that historical evidence counts only for the rest of history. I mean I get it, we don’t base our whole lives on what Homer did, that is, the necessity for truth and purity for the rest of history doesn’t have stakes as high as it does for the risen Christ. However, to dismiss the paradigm of historical evidence either counts for no one or counts for everyone. I wish that people would hold the same burden of proof.

Thank you Heavenly Father Jehovah, that you resurrected your son and our Messiah Jesus for his loyalty and sacrifice.🙏🏻

Rising from the dead not so surprising, rising up on a CLOUD, however... actually,...

Lazarus came back to life so Jesus wasn't the only one. "I have all power over heaven and earth." If you had all power, would you choose to suffer? The Crucifixion showed that we, like Lazarus and Jesus, are not bodies but spirit. "That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." The main lesson that is missed by nearly everyone is that Jesus went through what we all do. He felt separated from God, forsaken. He told us how to reunite with God and His creation. "Forgive them for they know not what they do." Mercy reunites us and ends our guilt, which separates us from God and life. “Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy.” And then we remember who we are as spirit, created in the likeness of God, who doesn't create sin. "If you had known what these words mean, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent."

Our Heavenly Father sent His only begotten Son to save us from our sins so that we will be with him in Heaven. Jesus died and rose from the dead to enlighten us to the truth He had been preaching to us while here on earth. To promise to us that we will join Him . Praise our Father God, His Son Jesus Christ and the Holy Spirit, Amen 🙏

It has been said of Jesus that "his body rose from the dead." What an absurdity conjured up by earthly minds which were at a loss to satisfactorily explain the death of Jesus as a felon on a cross! What need would Jesus have of an earthly body to continue existence in the afterlife? How could such a ridiculous myth persist even into the 21st century? It has been a measure of the lack of understanding of "Christians" that they have blindly accepted such a dogma to this very time.
