Resurrection of Our Lord And Savior

[Terry_Sampson]

My post in gregoreite’s thread: “The resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, just a metaphor?”:

@Terry_Sampson

The Resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth is the bedrock of my faith and theology. As Paul said, “If Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain.” [1 Cor. 15:14]
The Resurrection is the litmus test of faith.

May the day never come, but I am ready to die rather than give it up. I won’t die for a metaphor, but I’ll stake my life on the conviction that Jesus of Nazareth was crucified, died, raised from the dead, ascended into heaven, and lives.

Would you die for a metaphor?

Believing in Adam and Eve or the the Flood do not mean you believe in the Resurrection. There are Jews and Moslems who believe in the former, but do not believe in the Resurrection.
