jesus does speak about the resurrection of the dead in the book of mark.

Jesus replied, "...When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. Now about the dead rising—have you not read in the book of Moses, in the account of the bush, how God said to him, 'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'? He is not the God of the dead, but of the living.

and, of course, one would presume that christ could not bodily return to the earth at the end of the age without first being resurrected...

As he was leaving the temple, one of his disciples said to him, "Look, Teacher! What massive stones! What magnificent buildings!"

"Do you see all these great buildings?" replied Jesus. "Not one stone here will be left on another; every one will be thrown down."

As Jesus was sitting on the Mount of Olives opposite the temple, Peter, James, John and Andrew asked him privately, "Tell us, when will these things happen? And what will be the sign that they are all about to be fulfilled?"
Jesus said to them: "Watch out that no one deceives you. Many will come in my name, claiming, 'I am he,' and will deceive many. When you hear of wars and rumors of wars, do not be alarmed. Such things must happen, but the end is still to come. Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom. There will be earthquakes in various places, and famines. These are the beginning of birth pains.


"You must be on your guard. You will be handed over to the local councils and flogged in the synagogues. On account of me you will stand before governors and kings as witnesses to them. And the gospel must first be preached to all nations. Whenever you are arrested and brought to trial, do not worry beforehand about what to say. Just say whatever is given you at the time, for it is not you speaking, but the Holy Spirit.

"Brother will betray brother to death, and a father his child. Children will rebel against their parents and have them put to death. All men will hate you because of me, but he who stands firm to the end will be saved.

"When you see 'the abomination that causes desolation' standing where it does not belong—let the reader understand—then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains. Let no one on the roof of his house go down or enter the house to take anything out. Let no one in the field go back to get his cloak. How dreadful it will be in those days for pregnant women and nursing mothers! Pray that this will not take place in winter, because those will be days of distress unequaled from the beginning, when God created the world, until now—and never to be equaled again. If the Lord had not cut short those days, no one would survive. But for the sake of the elect, whom he has chosen, he has shortened them. At that time if anyone says to you, 'Look, here is the Christ!' or, 'Look, there he is!' do not believe it. For false Christs and false prophets will appear and perform signs and miracles to deceive the elect—if that were possible. So be on your guard; I have told you everything ahead of time.

"But in those days, following that distress,
" 'the sun will be darkened,
and the moon will not give its light;
the stars will fall from the sky,
and the heavenly bodies will be shaken.'

"At that time men will see the Son of Man coming in clouds with great power and glory. And he will send his angels and gather his elect from the four winds, from the ends of the earth to the ends of the heavens.

"Now learn this lesson from the fig tree: As soon as its twigs get tender and its leaves come out, you know that summer is near. Even so, when you see these things happening, you know that it is near, right at the door. I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened. Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.


"No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father. Be on guard! Be alert! You do not know when that time will come. It's like a man going away: He leaves his house and puts his servants in charge, each with his assigned task, and tells the one at the door to keep watch.

"Therefore keep watch because you do not know when the owner of the house will come back—whether in the evening, or at midnight, or when the rooster crows, or at dawn. If he comes suddenly, do not let him find you sleeping. What I say to you, I say to everyone: 'Watch!' "

a few more- and again, who is the Son Of Man?

He then began to teach them that the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again. He spoke plainly about this, and Peter took him aside and began to rebuke him.

But when Jesus turned and looked at his disciples, he rebuked Peter. "Get behind me, Satan!" he said. "You do not have in mind the things of God, but the things of men."

Then he called the crowd to him along with his disciples and said: "If anyone would come after me, he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for me and for the gospel will save it. What good is it for a man to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his soul? Or what can a man give in exchange for his soul? If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of him when he comes in his Father's glory with the holy angels."

mark 8:31-38

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. They kept the matter to themselves, discussing what "rising from the dead" meant.

mark 9:9&10

+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

They were on their way up to Jerusalem, with Jesus leading the way, and the disciples were astonished, while those who followed were afraid.

Again he took the Twelve aside and told them what was going to happen to him. "We are going up to Jerusalem," he said, "and the Son of Man will be betrayed to the chief priests and teachers of the law. They will condemn him to death and will hand him over to the Gentiles, who will mock him and spit on him, flog him and kill him. Three days later he will rise."

The resurrection of the body is a hallmark of the Christian faith. Jesus didn't just conquer death spiritually, He conquered it by rising in His physical body. This is why there is such an emphasis on the cloths He was wrapped in being left in the tomb. This is also why He reappeared to Thomas, who was not in the room the first time, so that He could dispell the doubts Thomas had that Jesus had indeed risen. He told Thomas to touch the wounds in his hands and in his side so Thomas would know Jesus was not just spiritually but bodily resurrected, even though He could walk through locked doors. Then there is the story of meeting the two men on the road to Emmaus. Jesus purposely stayed with them when they invited Him in to eat with them so they would know who He was and also for us to know He was more than just spirit. Finally, when Christ rose again to heaven. He did so on the clouds and His disciples watched Him ascend to heaven in a physical form. If He had been just spiritual, He would have just disappeared without the use of clouds.

Pray tell, where in the book of Mark Jesus mets with any believers after he died. Mark is the only eyewitness account. The other gospels were written generations after the tale they told. And Paul who wrote Acts was even latter.

Humm, it does seem you're only christain because you ant eternal life. Doesn't sound very moral to me; and not what Jesus taught. You have to be good fo its own sake, and like Jesus showed us, we all die and then nothing. That is the point of his teaching.
Thanks for your response. I do want to respond to you about your statements. I reread the Gospel of Mark to try to see how you came up with your suppositions.

[B][COLOR=#993366]First of all, Matthew and John were also eyewitnesses of Christ as His disciples. Mark was not one of the original 12 disciples but a believer in Christ. Luke was a physician and wrote his gospel for Theophilus and then followed with writing the book of Acts. Paul wrote much of the New Testament but is not the author of Acts. As a physician, Luke interviewed eyewitnesses and did the research for his gospel. A generation implies at least 30 years, so generations would be >60 years, and I believe that all the Gospels were written within the lifetime of the original 12 disciples. Acts is also a historic record of the early church, Paul’s travels/ministry, and the working of the Holy Spirit. It is presumed to be written within the first century.

Of course I'm being serious. No where in Mark does Jesus say he will be resurrected in body. Remember Mark is the 1st gospel. Nor is there any account of anyone claiming such in Mark. The whole point was Jesus giving up his life; not taking a 3 day vocation in a cave. You are required to respect god. Full stop. Not because of any reward. But because it is the right thing to do. Are you suggesting that Christians are only “nice” because they expect to escape death. That makes em sound pretty callous. And it just isn’t in the bible!

From Mark Chap 9
7Then a cloud appeared and enveloped them, and a voice came from the cloud: "This is my Son, whom I love. Listen to him!" 8Suddenly, when they looked around, they no longer saw anyone with them except Jesus.
9As they were coming down the mountain, Jesus gave them orders not to tell anyone what they had seen until the Son of Man had risen from the dead. 10They kept the matter to themselves, discussing what "rising from the dead" meant.

Unlike us - Jesus could never be spiritually dead. His only death was the physical death on the cross of the physical body He took on out of His love for us. So - when He instructed the disciples that the Son of Man would be risen from the dead - it was His physical body he was referring to.

As for your statement about Christians respecting God because it is the right thing to do - or being nice in order to escape death..... that is essentially backwards. Being a Christian is simply accepting the beautiful gift of salvation and letting Christ into our hearts. Salvation is about grace - our "works" are irrelevant unless we accept Christ's sacrifice. We love God because He first loved us (i.e. it isn't the cause of salvation, it is the result of salvation). We are "nice" because if we have Christ in our hearts AND we submit to His direction then we will have His love for humanity (i.e. not the cause of salvation but the result of salvation and the desire to live a fulfilled Christian life). We live by certain standards (at least those of us who want to live a fulfilled Christian life) because we are accountable to a higher authority who sees every action, hears every word, and even knows our every thought (again, not the cause of salvation, but the result of salvation)

(note - didn't see the second page where notyet added these verses after posting - will pay more attention next time :-)

I thought that this would be a non-dabate post thread, but it seems that "Fleuellen" managed to turn it into a debate after all...

Did any of you hear about the Andrew Wommack Ministiries? You can hear about the dead being brought back to life even in todays days if you go on his website and listen to his teachings.

that was during the "undead" period of the POs existence- between the time the owner removed her profile two months ago and now. in the interim, a few of us continued to post here. eHa thought they had deleted this group. thankfully, they had not. we asked for it back and eHa consented. lori, to credit her again because she deserves it, was instrumental to getting this back for us.

i believe it is the consensus of the all of us here that this is and will remain a debate free forum. rough and tumble will continue in CS. i am fine with that. i think Christian Singles is well suited for that. and while none of us will agree on everything here- this is not meant to be a place where we seek doctrinal unity- i am not looking to ban discussions of doctrine either.

this is meant to be a place where christians can share in safety with other christians without scoffers and bomb throwers continually stirring up the waters.

at least that is what i am hoping for. val made an admirable effort at reaching that goal. i hope this incarnation is half as successful.
