The Death and Resurrection of Jesus

The greatest miracle that Jesus Christ accomplished was His death and resurrection. Can you cite one particular person who did what Jesus Christ did? --- Ben Rivera Indeed, if Jesus did NOT resurrect from the dead, the whole edifice of Christian belief collapses. If it did NOT happen, then all who die, regardless of whether they have accepted Jesus as their Savior or not, will NOT be resurrected either. If Jesus did NOT resurrect himself to eternal life, then neither will anyone else come into “life” in the “kingdom” either. Death will be it, sorry, no refund. One of the chief “proofs” that priests and ministers extol as valid “evidence” of Christianity’s “Good News” being true, is their insistence of the “uniqueness” of Jesus having resurrected from the dead. Unfortunately, that “uniqueness” is also bluntly torpedoed by the bible itself in both the “Old” and in the ”New” Testament. Many resurrections took place before Jesus did it. He was not original in the miracle. The following characters came back to life from the dead: Elijah stretched himself upon a dead child three times and the kid recovered. 1 Kings 17:17-22 Samuel said to Saul: “Why hast thou disquieted me, to bring me up?” 1 Samuel 28: 7-15 Elisha raised the dead son of a Shunammite. 2 Kings 4: 32-35 “The bones of Elisha were touched as a dead man was lowered into a grave and the dead man was revived.” 2 Kings 13: 21 “Moses and Elijah come back to life at the time of the transmigration.” Luke 9:28-30 “The dead saints arise just after the resurrection.” Matt 27:52-53 “Jarius’s daughter rises from the dead.” Matt.9:18-25 “Nain’s widow’s son rises from the dead.” Luke 7:11-15. Also, “Lazarus rises from the dead.” John 11:43-44 These people did that “ordinary” perfect miracle before Jesus entered into the miraculous show as an imitation. So what’s unique about Jesus doing the same thing? Was he not just imitating an already common practice? When we also consider that some of these “resurrection were accomplished by the crackpots, the saps, and the jerks and those who had been dead long enough to rot and and decay and stink, it would surely be a greater miracle if we can still put much “faith” in zombies as describe in these Biblical accounts.
