All About GOD

All About GOD - Growing Relationships with Jesus and Others

In the Apostles Creed we say:

 

I believe in God the Father Alimighty,
Maker of heaven and earth:
And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord,
Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost,
Born of the Virgin Mary,
Suffered under Pontius Pilate,
Was crucified, dead, and buried:
He descended into hell;
The third day he rose again from the dead;
He ascended into heaven,
And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty;
From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Ghost;
The holy Catholick Church;
The Communion of Saints;
The Forgiveness of sins;
The Resurrection of the body,
And the Life everlasting.
Amen.

Yet the "resurrection of the body" seems to be one of the most neglected doctrines of the present day.

Sometimes only heaven is spoken of as the goal of the believer. Interviewed by Time in 2008 senior Anglican bishop and theologian N.T. Wright spoke of “the idea of bodily resurrection that people deny when they talk about their ‘souls going to Heaven,'" adding: “I've often heard people say, ‘I'm going to heaven soon, and I won't need this stupid body there, thank goodness.’ That's a very damaging distortion, all the more so for being unintentional.”

Do you believe in the doctrine of the resurrection of the body as it was believed in the era of the Apostles Creed?

 

When you say the Creed, what does it mean to you?

 

Do you see the Apostles Creed as normative to Christian faith?

Hey Gary,

I see the "Apostles Creed" as beneficial and sound in its understanding. The "Creed" was written to refute error that had arisen.

Yes, I believe in the resurrection of the bodies of both the saved and unsaved. John 5:28-29; 1 Corinthians 15; 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18; Revelation 20.

Lord Bless,
