The Resurrection from the Dead

The Doctrine of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the Dead has been the very core of Christianity since Jesus Himself began preaching Jhn 2:19-22.   In fact, even before Jesus, King David spoke of Jesus' resurrection (Psa 16:10), and Luke used this as an Old Testament proof in his narrative of Act 2:27-32.  The New Testament is full of references to Jesus' resurrection, and the Apostle Paul states that if the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ is not true then all of Christianity is a waste of time.   1Cr 15:1 ff.

Just as a note, many modern "christian" churches deny the bodily resurrection from the dead of Jesus Christ. Since there are many citations of the physical resurrection in the scriptures, these churches also deny the actual "inspiration of the scriptures" by God.  They teach that the Bible is not "the Word of God" and it is not "inspired by God", but is just a compilation of post-crucifixion writings by the church as it developed as a new religion.  And so, following Paul's statements in 1 Corinthians 15, the activities of churches that do not believe in the resurrection are a waste of time, and those people are "most miserable".

The Doctrine of the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the Dead his very important for many reasons which will be discussed in detail.
