1 | heaven or resurrection of the dead | Is 26:19 | Dana | 276 | ||
How does one explain the apparent contradiction between scripture that states those in Christ will rise first, referring to resurrection, and the popular Christian teaching that when a Christian dies, he or she is immediately in the presence of Christ heaven? | ||||||
2 | heaven or resurrection of the dead | Is 26:19 | Chris O | 27529 | ||
You are spot on Dana! The LORD Jesus Christ Himself said about the girl in Luke 8:52: "..Do not weep, for she is not dead but sleeping. And they laughed Him to scorn, knowing full well that she was dead, and grasping her hand, He called, saying, Child, arise [from the sleep of death]!" And of Lazarous in John 10: "..Our friend Lazarous is at rest and is sleeping; but I am going there that I may awaken him out of his sleep." I believe what the Lord Himself said over anyone on this earth - regardless of there position in the church. This is a big issue and needs to be looked at with The whole Bible as the context. chris_oconnor@start.com.au |
