I have to listen to this again. I was reading the Book of Acts chapter 4 and was prompted to learn more about the power of the resurrection. This is what Peter and John were preaching about and why they were brought before the Sanhedrin by 'deeply grieved' priests, Captain of the Temple and the Sadducee. 5000 were saved that day! Man was healed in the name of Jesus. Acts 4:8-10 "Then Peter, filled with the Holy Spirit, said to them: “Rulers and elders of the people! If we are being called to account today for an act of kindness shown to a man who was lame and are being asked how he was healed, then know this, you and all the people of Israel: It is by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom you crucified but whom God raised from the dead, that this man stands before you healed". I can't comprehend this! I can hear it. I can believe it happened..but to understand this truth completely will take a long time. Thank you for sharing the scripture about Job. That helps a lot. He had understood the power of the resurrection and lived it out in his life. Lord help me to see this too <3

There seems to be a confusion with the resurrection and transmigration. Our true identity
is that of a spiritual being which never dies; but appears to die after every lifetime. This apparent death
enables us to be have reborn into another physical life, time and time again. There seems to be a myth about the resurrection
of Jesus who appeared to have died on the cross, because another myth was then needed to account for
his physical disappearance; as he did disappear after the crucifixion. Either that or so much evidence was lost in the scriptures.

None of those examples were of a resurrection. The term resurrection has only happened once and that was Jesus following His death on the cross. The specifics of the resurrection body must be of flesh and bone animated by the Holy Spirit and Jesus is the only one, the first born among many brethren. The others were raised from the dead to die again but Christ was raised in a glorified body, like believers will receive at either the judgement seat of Christ or at the end of the Millennium per 1 Cor 15.51/52. Our resurrected body will be like that of Christ but not at the rapture, else no grave would have to open. Christ in me the hope of glory (a glorified/spiritual body).

Is there a difference in the resurrection beliefs of JWs and Christians beliefs in the resurrection?

Honest people won't deny the fact that man made Allah, the God of the Bible, Romulus, Zalmoxis, Osiris, Krishna, Zeus, Satan, Bible, Quran, heaven, hell, angles, Garden of Eden, Adam & Eve, sin, savior, sacrifice, resurrection, parting the Red Sea, walking on water, splitting the moon, Santa Clause, Tooth Fairy, Superman, Batman, Darth Vader, etc.

Angels ressurect the same day and month of birth + same life path

Dragons ressurect the same day and month of death + same life path
