Sickle of Truth

We continue once again with our subject, Death and Resurrection Having taking a brief look at the ransom and its importance we would now like to consider the reasoning’s behind our Lord appearing the way he did following his resurrection. “With our Lord, after his resurrection, it was simply a question of expediency as to which way of appearing to his disciples would best accomplish his object, of making known his resurrection and change of nature. Had he appeared as…

We continue once again with our subject, Death and Resurrection In our previous post we were reviewing the importance of our Lord’s death (the ransom sacrifice) to our deliverance from the death penalty, that he had surrendered his very life, his soul for the sake of the world. “The whole point of Jesus’ post resurrection appearances was to convince his followers that he, indeed, was alive and risen but NOT that he had experienced a bodily resurrection.

Our subject under consideration is, Death and Resurrection Seventh Day Adventist say: “When Jesus returns at the end of time, all who have died believing in Christ will have a bodily resurrection and go to Heaven with Him. This is the first resurrection. This is the Good News! Believers have the hope of eternal life because they place their trust in the Lord Jesus. “For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a cry of command, with the voice…

Our next subject under consideration is, Death and Resurrection Seventh Day Adventist state: “The wages of sin is death. But God, who alone is immortal, will grant eternal life to His redeemed. Until that day death is an unconscious state for all people. When Christ, who is our life, appears, the resurrected righteous and the living righteous will be glorified and caught up to meet their Lord. The second resurrection, the resurrection of the unrighteous, will take place a thousand…
