- Опубликовано: 8 сен 2024
- The resurrection of Jesus is one of the bedrock beliefs of Christianity, but does one have to believe that Jesus' resurrection was physical in order to be saved? Dr. Jeremiah Johnston returns to the podcast to discuss the evidence for the bodily resurrection. He also shares a brand new argument for the resurrection that will be published in his brand new book, Body of Proof: The 7 Best Reasons to Believe in the Resurrection of Jesus - and Why It Matters Today

Yes! I lost my daughter at age 30 who died giving her daughter life… that little girl spent 6 mos in NICU being burn at 24 was weighing 1lb 4 oz… God let us have her for 3 yrs and decided to take her home too… I am so thankful for that Blessed Hope of knowing I will see them again!!! I couldn’t make it without that Hope!
YES, you absolutely *must* believe in the bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ to be a Christian. There is no question about it.
Amen!!!!
Amen! I can’t believe people are even questioning this. I. Mean, didn’t Thomas stick his fingers in Jesus’s wounds?
1st corinthians 15:44
It is sown a natural (physical) body, it is raised a spiritual body.
●If there is no resurrection of the dead (sown natural body, raised a spiritual body) then Christ has not been raised.
Sometimes all I can answer is "I don't know" and trust my emotional need
Hey Alisa, could you release your singing of When I Survey the Wondrous Cross as you sang it in American Gospel: Christ Crucified?
It is SO lovely, I can’t find it anywhere on RUclips.
Wright's book Justin mentioned has been revised to 848 pages. 😁
That should be a "duh, yes" question. But there are false teachers out there who call it into question (and always have been), so it's important to be able to make a reasoned defense of the belief, as 1 Peter 3:15 instructs us.
Why does 1 Peter 3:18 say that Christ "was put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit?" Spirit bodies can take on human form. Angels did this in Genesis and even ate and drank, but they were still spirit and could leave the physical realm. Jesus was able to appear and disappear suddenly and even enter a locked room. (John 20:19, 26) If his body was purely physical, he wouldn't have been able to do that. Also, 1 Corinthians 15:45 says that the last Adam (Jesus) became a life-giving spirit.
@@jollyrancher521 Interesting questions, but keep in mind you're questioning what the exact nature of Jesus' resurrected body was/is. Not if he was resurrected in the body to begin with.
@@redhawkmillenium The main point of the podcast is that Jesus was resurrected in a physical body, not in spiritual body. From what I can tell, Evangelical churches also teach that Jesus has a glorified physical human body in heaven right now. He is still human. Or to be more exact, a God-man. They also teach that when Christians are resurrected to heaven, they will also have fleshly bodies in heaven like Jesus. That seems to go against the scriptures that I pointed out in my previous reply.
@@jollyrancher521 There's a difference between a mortal physical body and a glorified physical body. Jesus' glorified body isn't limited like a mortal one. Apparently that means having new abilities. He made it clear with Thomas that his body is in fact 100% physical. Read in context, Paul goes on to say in 1 Cor. that the mortal is clothed in immortality. So he isn't saying that having a spiritual body (in context of the chapter) means being nonphysical; having physicality doesn't mean you're automatically mortal. Adam and Eve couldn't die until they rebelled even though they had physical bodies.
What's the point if you don't believe in the resurrection? Paul already broke down why it matters that Jesus physically rose. Anything less completely undermines every single Christian belief from the consequences of sin and the Fall to our eternal destiny. Denial of the physical resurrection essentially calls God a liar.
Imaginative story telling, wow, what a statement to make. I’m in a quandary on why someone would devote their life to studying something they don’t believe. Maybe they hate Christianity so much they must disprove it, but many have tried, and there only gets to be more evidence for it.
"Judge not by appearance but judge by righteous judgement."
"That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit. "
We are not created as temporary bodies but eternal spirit. God only creates like Himself and He's not a body. Thinking we are bodies means we think we are the sinful things bodies do. not innocent spirit. We are here to forgive all sins. Then we know who we are. " If you had known what these words mean, 'I desire mercy, not sacrifice,' you would not have condemned the innocent"
Sacrifice makes us think what bodies do changes who we are..
God is a spirit
But he created man not from angels in heaven, but from the dust of the earth.
You are of the dust, and you shall return to the dust
The soul that sins shall die

We must be so careful here, yes a bodily resurrection is something Christians confess, not only that but we must confess it in order to be a christian. However, flesh or blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of heaven (1 Corinthians 15:50), it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body (1 Corinthians 15:44), and Jesus Christ was put to death in the flesh but was raised in the Spirit (1 Peter 3:18). Based on these passages, we have to be careful not to draw such a big distinction between a bodily resurrection and a spiritual resurrection, because Chris's resurrection was both bodily and spiritual. The speaker in this video speaks of a physical bodily resurrection, and this can be difficult to understand for some because scripture in the passages I quoted makes it clear that we are resurrected with a spiritual body but it nowhere says that we are raised with a physical body, and 1 Corinthians 15 goes at great length to explain the difference between a natural body and a spiritual body. Yet, we can comfortably say as the speaker in this video does that there was a physical bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, which is affirmed by Jesus himself in Luke 24:39 "Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have." Not only that, but we are commanded to confess the physical bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ without which there is no christian faith as the guest on this video correctly states.
They were afraid he was a spirit ( a demon)
Demons can no longer materialize, that is why they want to possess people.
But faithful angels can materialize.
And also disappear when the time comes for it.
The physical body of Jesus is not up in heaven somewhere
And humans cannot walk through walls
@@Godislovewillrule.wordpress. You are so correct, this is the error Luther pointed out to Calvin. Calvin and his followers erroneously taught that that the body of Jesus was up somewhere in heaven and could not be present in the Lord’s Supper as a result. Even though there was a physical resurrection of Jesus and he ascended into heaven, he ascended with a spiritual body that is not restricted to a particular location here or there. As for our bodies in the resurrection we do not know much, but scripture clearly teaches they are spiritual bodies without elaborating on what properties these bodies will have.

Why does Jeremiah say “Oxford” in every interview when his PhD is from Middlesex?
Why do they think the disciples would need to see Jesus physically in order to believe when seeing is not a requirement before believing for Alisa or Jeremiah? They believed a story.
Maybe just one or two disciples had a bereavement hallucination, told the rest Jesus had risen, and they believed. Done.

●1 Corinthians 15
35 But someone will ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?” 36 How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37 When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. 38 But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. 39 Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. 40 There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. 41 The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.
If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living being”[f]; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 46 The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. 47 The first man was of the dust of the earth; the second man is of heaven. 48 As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the heavenly man, so also are those who are of heaven. 49 And just as we have borne the image of the earthly man, so shall we[g] bear the image of the heavenly man.
50 I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51 Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed- 52 in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53 For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54 When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: “Death has been swallowed up in victory.”[h]
@@aaronmonroe7932
The whole definition of a resurrection is bodily. There is no resurrection unless the *body* comes back to life. It is axiomatic. If Jesus's physical body did not come out of the grave you have no hope for salvation. Jesus redeemed the entire human person with His death and resurrection, not just the metaphysical part.
Paul is not making a distinction between a physical body and metaphysical (post resurrection) body. He is making a distinction between a corruptible physical body and an incorruptible physical body.
Frankly, this is Christianity 101. I'm not sure why it's so hard to understand.
Did Jeremiah address the arguments raised by Michael Alter's 2015 book?

Thank you SOOO much for this discussion. ❤
I know a Pastor who has complained often about how so many of his Pastor peers no longer believe, nor do they preach about the physical, historical bodily resurrection of Christ. That shocked me. Truly. How anyone could ever call themselves a Christ follower, and not believe in the Resurrection boggles me. To deny the Resurrection, one would have to also deny the Trinity, so why be a Christian at all? Not sure what these pastors are even doing at this point. I think you'd be better off packing it in and finding a new job, then knowingly teaching falsely and leading flocks astray. It's horrifying when you really think about it.
Christ was both fully God and fully Man -- it's a Mystery, a Miraculous event.
It helps to read the early Church Fathers and what they had to say about these matters, IMO.
If you go by the statistics, most ministers in America today do not have a biblical worldview. I had something like that before I became a Christian.
Yes, Jesus was raised in a physical body......that can disappear and go through walls.......
And be touched. And eat. Jesus is fully God AND fully man. As man he has a body. As God he can appear in a locked room and be everywhere at once. We are not smart enough to understand how. BTW the Bible does not say that Jesus went through the wall, or locked door. Maybe he went around it outside the space time continuum.
The Bible also also doesn't say that Jesus "disappeared " just that he couldn't be found. That was before the Crucifixion.
According to Jesus the physical body does not exist.
@@chardo24 🤦♂️ No, that's not true.
@@chardo24 I need a citation for that. I say you made it up.
@@markhorton3994 Don't be lazy and read the Bible.
Of course one must believe in the bodily resurrection of Christ in order to be a Christian according to Paul in Rom. 10:9-10, and 1st Cor. 15.
I'm a believer, and I believe in the physical bodily resurrection of Jesus Christ, but I must say, listening to this conversation, I wouldn't be convinced that the resurrection is true. I believe that it's all about faith. We, by faith, believe that Christ rose from the grave. We only have our Bible to go on. There is no extra biblical evidence to validate the bibles claims of the resurrection. This brothers claims are subjective at best. Great interview, though.
Yes, there is extrabiblical evidence. There are Jewish documents that attempt to refute Jesus' resurrection by blaming his disciples. Justin Martyr and Tertullian attest to the fact that the Jews were still circulating this lie and even name names. The problem is that not only is it easy to refute their false accusations, but they accidentally agree with Christians that the tomb was in fact empty. So if they've accidentally verified that the tomb was empty, then all that's left is figuring out why, which is easy to do via inductive reasoning. All you'd have to do is look at the problems with each unbiblical excuse, many of which have already been addressed if you just Google it. A little effort and research goes a long way.
Yes.
Can a human body walk through walls?
No
In the book of Acts, when we see the preaching, the whole argument that Jesus is the Messiah relies on the fact that God vindicated him by raising him from the dead. If Jesus was never vindicated by the Father, then the most reasonable conclusion is that he was not the Messiah after all. The Old Testament points to the Messiah as the fulfiller of all God's promises, and the whole New Testament tells us that Jesus is that Messiah. Take the New Testament away, and we are left we Judaism.
The word of God is truth which we must believe. Jesus came on the earth for a purpose. He died and rose from the dead. The written message ststes clearly that he rose from the dead. Read the Bible to get all details you need concerning the ressurection.
Beautiful!! 😍

Good convo. Btw, if you put glasses on this gentleman, he'd look exactly like Adam from Adam Ruins Everything.
The claim of a resurrection, like so many of the biblical claims, contradicts evidence. Reality.
Only if you ignore all the evidence for Jesus Christ's resurrection.
@@DefenderoftheCross like what? All genuine evidence we possess of physics, biology, chemistry, etc says that a human being cannot come alive after being dead for over 2 days.
You have a story in the bible. The same bible that claims wooden canes turned into snakes, talking donkeys, a man lived inside a big fish for 3 days and much more. All contradicting evidence.

It's been a while.... most churches don't preach a sermon that's a full series on anything in the word anymore.
3¶ For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures;
4 And that he was buried, and that *he rose again the third day* according to the scriptures:
5 And that *he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:*
6 After that, *he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once;* of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
7 After that, *he was seen of James; then of all the apostles.*
8 And last of all *he was seen of me also,* as of one born out of due time.
9¶ For I am the least of the apostles, that am not meet to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10 But by the grace of God I am what I am: and his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain; but I laboured more abundantly than they all: yet not I, but the grace of God which was with me.
11 Therefore whether it were I or they, so we preach, and so ye believed.
12¶ Now *if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?*
13 But *if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:*
14 And *_if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain._*
15 Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because *we have testified of God that he raised up Christ:* whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not.
16 For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised:
17 And *if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.*
18 *Then they also which are fallen asleep in Christ are perished.*
19 *If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men most miserable.*
20¶ But *now is Christ risen from the dead, **_and become the firstfruits of them that slept._*

☆Both points I made in this response is from Paul.
Paul did not write the gospels. I won't take what the author of John said and assume that Paul is saying the same thing.
Great discussion!..Yes I have to say physical bodily resurrection alot today because gnosticism has made a strong come back and saturated in our culture so just to make it clear Jesus Christ had a physical bodily resurrection it was NOT a spiritual resurrection. The Apostle John in First John was confronting an early form of gnosticism that is why he would put the full name Jesus Christ together that came in the flesh so to make a distinction.
In essence Jesus did kill the Romans, when Christianity became the dominant religion. Granted that’s when they also tried to change Jesus’s truth, but to no avail.
In reality, Jesus was killed by his people's oppressors, the Romans.

The best evidence we have for the physical resurrection of Jesus in in the Shroud of Turin.
No. The best evidence we have is in the Bible. After that, the second best evidence is the birth of the church and the fact that many died willingly with the hope of the resurrection, including the apostles who could not have died for a lie they created. The third best evidence we have is the fact that the Jews acknowledge the tomb was empty even though they disagree on why. The Shroud of Turin as no connection to Jesus. If you read the Bible's descriptions of Jesus' burial, it says STRIPS of linen were lying there, not a single sheet.
Well, scratch pro-abort Johnston off the "faithful Christians" list. His immoral defense of killing children through IVF is disgraceful.
He is so full of himself and he is so wrong about other people not being Christians. Not everybody has a theology degree. By the time you all add to the list of things to do to be saved, no one will be saved.
But belief in Chist's bodily resurrection is core to the faith. If He did not rise bodily, he didn't defeat sin.
@@User_Happy35 I agree, but not core to being saved. You don't think God is powerful enough to defeat sin without bodily resurrecting?
@@NC-vz6ui Think carefully through your own question. What's the wages of sin? Death. Physical death. What did Jesus say he would do? Rise again. What did he spend time doing after his death? Proving that he rose and that God was powerful enough to raise him. Your question is so convoluted, it's accusing someone of thinking God's more powerful if he doesn't raise Christ physically when Jesus himself said "“Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” and John explains, "He was speaking of the temple of His body." Is God a liar? Is Jesus? Which is more powerful? A "symbolic" resurrection or a physical one? The Bible makes it clear that the defeat of sin is the defeat of death. If he did not rise physically then he did not defeat sin, just as Paul clearly explains in 1 Cor. 15:17.
@@Window4503 Believing in a physical resurrection is not what saves. It is the work that Jesus has already done for us and his grace. It is your awareness of the finished work and acceptance of it. Trusting in Jesus. It is not the exact details of how that played out. A legalist is concerned about the letter of the law, but the not the spirit.

@Sanjeev Gig sure, a public well known tomb where he was laid ,with a heavy stone sealed by the Roman's and under a Roman gard was found empty, and later eyewitness felt ,talked, touched and ate with him. It would have been very easy to prove he had not risen, but they could not. But the burden of proof lies on you, you made the claim it was doubtful, tell us why?

Furthermore, I'm no mind reader but he probably wants historical accounts that provide evidence for the birth, life, and resurrection of Jesus and perhaps archaeological evidence. But of course you're not going to find a body what with the claim that he rose from the dead, right? ;)
Finally, there is not even the slightly legitimate reason to believe a super-intelligent, omnibenevolent, loving and compassionate God would even go through all of the doubtful at best and nonsensical, incomprehensible, and sadistic at worst theatrics, pageantry, and drama of child abuse and child sacrifice claimed by biblical writers and non-Christians historians to have actually happened (with neither sensible reason besides the former seeming to be witness testimony and / or tangible evidence).

Couldn't finish the video. I like Childers so will stop by some other time.
