Resurrection of the Body: Has this Belief Changed in Church History? N.T. Wright Responds (HD)

"Its fascinating when you study what the early church believed about Life after death in general. Because in the ancient world, there were as many views about life after death, as there are today. If not more so actually. and if you look at ancient paganism and ancient Judaism, there's a wide variety belief. It isn't just easy. So it makes it all the more extraordinary that all the early Christians who we have evidence for, right through the first two centuries, all believed in the resurrection of the body..."

@Strefanasha Hey, have you read the Scripture 1 Tim 3:15?

"...the house of God, which is the church of the living God, the pillar and ground of the truth."

[brendos444]

Dualistic views that dominate much of the so-called "Reformed" teachings on salvation were no where found in the early church. How does a guy like Piper take the resurrection seriously when he believes that salvation is dying and going to heaven? Where does the bible teaching of new creation come into this?

[Strefanasha]

It is good that the early christians believed in bodily resurrection. but strictly speaking it is not relevant, except only to historians, even amateur history buffs like me.

the relevant factor is SCRIPTURE. the church was NEVER normative and NEVER the arbiter of truth

if bodily resurrection is denied now yet "let God be true though every man be a liar"

@orlando098 I know it sounds weird but try to search for this book. The torn veil, by sister Gulshan Esther. She saw the same person.

I think they only shroud their face from us mortal. They could roam this world, enter places locked tight. There's nothing impossible for God. Cheers.

@orlando098 Yeah you're right according to the bible the earliest resurrection will be at Christ second coming. I did see a person who was man but now alive. I'm not quite sure how that would be possible but I've found I'm not the only person who has seen this once man but not anymore. He's a disciple of Christ. He lives and now with perfect body though the face was shrouded in the darkest matter. There's something about divine beings that they wouldn't want to reveal their faces. Cheers.

@k0smon

The Egyptians didn't believe in bodily resurrection as far as I know. It's a Jewish idea

@MichaelWithstand

How come you've seen a resurrected man? I thought according to Christian belief there were no resurrected men yet apart from Jesus?

[TheFlipisWILD]

Heaven and hell are where the SPIRITS of men and women go till resurrection day, when the SPIRITS are united with their bodies and they are either live in the New-Heavens-and-new-earth or the Lake of Fire, which is the "second death".

[ReaderDan]

Seventh-day Adventists have held to this belief for a really long time. So did Tyndale.

Scholarship is cool.

@MichaelWithstand

I'd like to know more about your experience. How do you know the person was resurrected and what was the circumstance of his visit?
