Listening to N T Wright is like listening to Bach, good, holy and wholesome for the mind and spirit!

[timothygarrett]

If there is no resurrection for Jesus, there is no hope for us. Our whole salvation is based on the death and resurrection of the Lord Jesus Christ, and without it, we have no hope.

[zgobermn]

NT Wright, always articulate and inspiring.

[rickintexas]

This was an interesting perspective. Thanks for sharing.

Because of this music, my heart is glad. I had surgery two years ago that practically ruined my brain. almost made me question my sanity For almost 12 years, I have worked as a trader full-time. Because I've previously been approached for investing advice, my contact information is displayed on my profile. My life suddenly slowed down and was dull despite the fact that I am enthusiastic about what I do. Even how I recovered is beyond me. One day, I had the impression of seeing a bright light, and when I looked over at my partner, I saw that he was crying. Now that I'm back at work, I'm proud of myself. People seek guidance on how to assist them every day .

Wow what a clear cut answer N.T. Wright truly is a great historian when it comes to Christian debates, arguments or clarifications. God bless you Mr Wright.

Revelation of Jesus within our soul life proves and leads us to ascension to Jesus, proof enough I believe, glory comes to those who know him.

[jrockofages]

He came as a Savior. He will come back as a Judge.

My father used to say when he died he wanted to be buried as close to the cemetery gate as possible, because on Resurrection Day, he wanted to be the first one out.

Everything about Christianity hangs on the FACT of the RESURRECTION OF JESUS CHRIST. To those who do receive and believe will follow HIM!

[patodwyer]

Jesus Christ Our Lord, Rose from the dead after three days and will return to judge the living and the dead.

Along these same arguments, Thomas, doubting Thomas, traveled to Southern India and built seven churches. He was murdered during the construction of the eighth. The man who said he would not belief without physical evidence left the clearest trail, complete with stone structures.

[AdamMeaney-zszw]

No resurrection? What a relief 'no resurrection' would be, if only it were true! Blessed are those who take part in the first resurrection!
❤ GOD AMEN.

[garyjohnson]

Fact! I know, not of anything I have proven scientifically or worldly, but by the spirit of God testifying to my heart and soul that Jesus died, was resurrected and lives today and that he will return to reign on earth.

[kennbo]

The Disciples were in sheer fear of their lives when Jesus was taken and crucified. Yet all died a martyrs death except for John. They had to have believed that Jesus was resurrected and was the messiah because they wouldn't have willingly gone to their deaths for a lie.

[karlostj]

Actually, according to the New Testament, it happened twice: Once for Jesus Christ, and once for Lazarus before him.

[jerrylanglois]

Buddhist proverb : '' Believe nothing without at least equal evidence ''. Where is the equal evidence for the resurrection -- an extraordinary, supernatural claim?

[dankeil]

Yes, He did die a horrible death. But he came out of His grave in three days. When Jesus when up to Heaven He sent His Holy Spirit down to us!

[desmo]

Jesus said, if you deny me I shall deny you in front of my father .

[stevescholl]

"Chronological snobbery." Finally it's in words.
