Easter is upon us once again! Lent is over, Good Friday has passed and now the time for mourning and fasting is complete. It's a time to feast, a time to remember and celebrate the resurrection of Christ as we look forward to our own final resurrection!But what really is the resurrection? How will we be resurrected, and what does it mean for us that Jesus rose again? Let’s explore what this means for us as Christians, and see what the Scriptures say. The resurrection is spiritual! That heading may cause some reading this to question me, but do read on – this is actually what the New Testament teaches us (though not only this type of resurrection). Many ti...

Horus, Jesus, and Egyptian Mythology: Separating Fact from Fiction

Posted by Luke J. Wilson on 22nd April 2023 in Mythology | Jesus,Horus,egyptian gods,mythology,Egyptian myths,apologetics
...death and resurrection story for Horus. Horus' mythology mainly revolves around his struggle against Set, the avenging of his father Osiris, and his role as a living god and protector of the pharaohs. In contrast, the concept of resurrection is more closely related to Osiris, who was brought back to life temporarily by Isis. Osiris' resurrection symbolised the cycle of life, death, and rebirth, which was a fundamental aspect of ancient Egyptian cosmology. However, this concept should not be confused with the story of Jesus' resurrection, as the two are rooted in different cultural and religious contexts and the resurrection of Jesus accomplishes very specific t...
 

Was there death before the Fall?

Posted by Luke J. Wilson on 15th April 2014 in Death | Sheol,the Fall,Creation,Genesis,Adam and Eve,death,resurrection
...e "was no resurrection" - except for the Jews, of course. What we can see in the resurrection is that God wants us to be with him in a physical sense, not in some disembodied state. This is why we were created; and why the Jewish concept of blessing and reward from God is a long physical life (eg. Exodus 20:12); and also why the New Testament is concerned with the restoration of all creation through the resurrection (cf. Col 1:15-22; Rom 8:19-23) - and not an escape from it! 1 Tim 6:16 tells us that it is God "alone who has immortality", so clearly we mere mortals can't also be immortal, can we? Throughout the New Testament letters and the in the Gospels...
 

BOOK REVIEW: Four Views on Hell 2nd edition

Posted by David Jakubovic on 17th March 2021 in Book Review |
...ortalised resurrection bodies for the damned, whereas the NT only promises such for the saved (Luke 20:36, 1 Cor 15). Nowhere does Scripture even imply that such immortalised “bodies that are cast into the fire have properties that make them fit for an eternal destiny” (Burk, 30) – in fact Mt 10:28 foretells precisely the opposite for them in Gehenna’s termination (apolesai) of both ‘body and soul’. On Dan 12:2-3, all Burk can offer is the ‘disgrace and everlasting contempt’ facing the resurrected wicked, noting that ‘contempt’ [deraon] occurs only here and in Isa 66: “The term evokes the same imagery in Daniel, suggesting that those r...
