Will our bodies be resurrected like Jesus was?

Answered by . 6

Yes. This is a wonderful, important (1 Cor. 15:12-19) part of the Christian faith that the apostle Paul writes about in 1 Corinthians 15. Two of the relevant parts of that chapter are: In 1 Corinthians 15:23 Paul says that Christ is the first of those to be raised: his resurrection is the forerunner, the […]

Who was the rich ruler in Luke 18:18?

Answered by .

The Bible doesn’t identify the ruler beyond the scant information it provides in Luke 18:18-30, Matthew 19:16-30 and Mark 10:17-31 (we certainly can’t pinpoint a particular, named person). All we know is that he is young (Mat. 19:20,22), rich, religious and a ruler (Luke 18:18). There are a few possibilities about what it meant for the man […]

When was the Holy Spirit given?

Answered by .

The full question: “I always thought the Holy Spirit came after Jesus’ ascension. However, Luke 2:25-26 says Simeon had that same “”Holy Ghost”” as Jesus mentions in Acts 1:8. Am I right?

Did Jesus ever baptise anyone himself?

Answered by . 2

No, Jesus didn’t physically baptise anyone himself. John 4:1-2 explains: …Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John (although Jesus himself did not baptize, but only his disciples) Jesus’ disciples, under his authority, were baptising people on his behalf.1 Notes 1. Perhaps it’s a bit like in the Old Testament when the Tabernacles was […]

Why does Jesus call the Father ʺhis Godʺ (Rev 1:6)?

Answered by .

… and made us a kingdom, priests to his God and Father, to him be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen (Rev 1:6) This is just one of a number of passage which speak of the God of Jesus: And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, “Eloi, Eloi, lema sabachthani?” […]

Where did Christ’s physical resurrected body go in the Ascension?

Answered by .

Jesus Christ’s resurrected body was/is part of him – you can’t separate Jesus from his body.  Jesus is at the right hand of God in heaven. Jesus’ disciples were frightened when they saw him after his resurrection?  Jesus said to them (Luke 24:37-43): But they were startled and frightened and thought they saw a spirit.  […]
