The document discusses the key teachings of Jesus around death and resurrection. It provides biblical quotes and context around the following key points:
1) Death is described as a sleep or state of unconsciousness until the resurrection. Jesus has power over death as shown by his resurrection of Lazarus.
2) Everyone will experience both death and resurrection - either to eternal life or eternal condemnation based on their faith in Jesus.
3) The resurrection is crucial because it is proof of eternal life and God's promise to overcome death through Jesus, though death seems a temporary victory.
This is vol. 3 of a study of Jesus as a hell fire preacher. Many have studied and written on this passage of Scripture dealing with the rich man in hell, and so we have much to learn about hell from it.

Chapter 4 of "Bible Basics" a Bible study manual, dealing with death and the nature of man, arguing for conditional immortality, no immortal soul, and the hope of resurrection at Christ's return.

Mainstream christian theology seems to support ideas about death and resurrection that are remarkably similar to those of ancient Greek and other middle eastern pagan philosophies. This seems to be at odds with what the protestant cannon represents about the issue.
This slide is a summary overview of what judeo-christian texts highlight about the issue.

One of the greatest miracles that Christ performed on this earth was the resurrection of Lazarus from the grave, depicted in the gospel of John Chapter 11. By doing so, many of the people’s eyes were opened and they believed that Christ was in fact God. So who was this Lazarus?
Michael Burns gave a presentation on The Resurrection World View at the 2015 ICEC at York College in York, Nebraska June 19 and 20, 2015. The class included a historical analysis of the concept of resurrection, an in-depth analysis of the evidence for the resurrection, but also emphasized the implications, both personally and for the entire human condition which comes with the resurrection of Jesus. The power point is attached. The audio for this and for all the classes from the 2015 ICEC will be available within a week at www.ipibooks.com
The attached power point is for a lesson given by Dr. Douglas Jacoby at the 2012 ICEC at UCLA October 20, 2012. Doug taught about the biblical doctrine of heaven, Hades and hell. He also presented a number of the important views on this subject in Judaism and in the early church, as well as reflecting on some of the views held today on this important topic.

The Book of Joshua is the sixth book in the Hebrew Bible and the Old Testament, and is the first book of the Deuteronomistic history, the story of Israel from the conquest of Canaan to the Babylonian exile.
In Jude 17-23 Jude shifts from piling up examples of false teachers from the Old Testament to a series of practical exhortations that flow from apostolic instruction. He preserves for us what may well have been part of the apostolic catechism for the first generation of Christ-followers. In these instructions Jude exhorts the believer to deal with 3 different groups of people: scoffers who are "devoid of the Spirit", believers who have come under the influence of scoffers and believers who are so entrenched in false teaching that they need rescue and pose some real spiritual risk for the rescuer. In all of this Jude emphasizes Jesus' call to rescue straying sheep, leaving the 99 safely behind and pursuing the 1.

Homily: The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity Sunday 2024.docxJames Knipper
Countless volumes have been written trying to explain the mystery of three persons in one true God, leaving us to resort to metaphors such as the three-leaf clover to try to comprehend the Divinity. Many of us grew up with the quintessential pyramidal Trinity structure of God at the top and Son and Spirit in opposite corners. But what if we looked at this ‘mystery’ from a different perspective? What if we shifted our language of God as a being towards the concept of God as love? What if we focused more on the relationship within the Trinity versus the persons of the Trinity? What if stopped looking at God as a noun…and instead considered God as a verb? Check it out…

2. Key Text
“Jesus said to her,
‘I am the resurrection and the life.
He who believes in Me,
though he may die, he shall live’ ”
John 11:25
3. “For the living know that they will die; but the dead know nothing, and they
have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5)
“Our friend Lazarus sleeps, but I go that I may
wake him up.” (John 11:11)
“For now I would have lain still and been quiet, I would
have been asleep; then I would have been at rest.”
(Job 3:13)
“So man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens are
no more, they will not awake nor be roused from their
sleep.” (Job 14:12)
“Enlighten my eyes, lest I sleep the sleep of death.”
(Psalm 13:3)
“And sleep a perpetual sleep and not awake.”
(Jeremiah 51:39)
“And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth
shall awake.” (Daniel 12:2)
4. “But the dead know nothing, and they have no more
reward, for the memory of them is forgotten.”
(Ecclesiastes 9:5)
“Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now
perished; nevermore will they have a share in anything
done under the sun.” (Ecclesiastes 9:6)
“For there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom
in the grave where you are going.” (Ecclesiastes 9:10)
“The dead do not praise the Lord, nor any who go down
into silence.” (Psalm 115:17)
“His spirit departs, he returns to his earth; in that very
day his plans perish.” (Psalm 146:4)
“For the living know that they will die; but the dead know nothing, and they
have no more reward, for the memory of them is forgotten.” (Ecclesiastes 9:5)
5. In that case, both Jesus and the thief
would be in Paradise that same day.
Nevertheless, when Jesus
resurrected the third day, He said
that He had not yet ascended to the
Father; so He had not been to
Paradise yet (John 20:17)
Luke wrote in Greek without using punctuation marks.
He wrote:
“Assuredly I say to you today you will be with Me in Paradise.”
The meaning of that sentence may change depending on the
punctuation marks we add.
“And Jesus said to him, ‘Assuredly, I say to you
today, you will be with Me in Paradise.’” (Luke 23:43)
“Assuredly I say to you, today you
will be with Me in Paradise.”
Jesus answered the thief’s
request by promising him that
they would be together in
paradise “when You come into
Your kingdom.” (Luke 23:42)
“Assuredly, I say to you today, you
will be with Me in Paradise.”
The second meaning is the only coherent one, according to the rest of the
Bible on the death and resurrection of Jesus and the state of the dead.
7. “These all wait for You, that You may give them their food in due season.
What You give them they gather in; You open Your hand, they are filled with
good. You hide Your face, they are troubled; You take away their breath, they
die and return to their dust. You send forth Your Spirit, they are created; and
You renew the face of the earth.” (Psalm 104:27-30)
Life is fully dependent on the spirit or breath
of life that God gives us.
Only Jesus has life in
Himself (John 5:26). So He
is the only One who is able
to resurrect the dead
(John 5:21)
1. LIFE: God “breathes” the spirit of live into
His creatures (Genesis 2:7)
2. DEATH: God takes the spirit of life away
from us; it returns to Him (Ecclesiastes 12:7)
3. RESURRECTION: God brings the spirit of life
back into us (Luke 8:55)
8. “Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves
will hear His voice and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection
of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.”
(John 5:28-29)
Everyone dies and everyone will be resurrected.
After our death, the judgment decides the type
of resurrection we will experience.
RESURRECTION FOR LIFE
Those who have faith in Jesus;
their works show their faith is
genuine (John 3:16; James 2:18-20)
At the Second Coming of Christ
(1Co. 15:22-23)
To live forever (1Ts. 4:17)
RESURRECTION FOR
CONDEMNATION
Those who reject Jesus or refuse to
live according to the life rules He
established.
After the Millennium (Rev. 20:5)
To die forever (Ro. 6:23)
Who?
When?
What for?
9. Reflection:
Death is so common that we take it for
granted.
How, though, can we learn to trust in
God’s promises about eternal life, even
though for now, death seems to be the
victor?
10. “If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to
enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell,
into the fire that shall never be quenched.” (Mark 9:43)
Jesus used two Greek words for death and the
punishment of the wicked, hadēs and gehena.
HADĒS
Grave, symbolic place
where the death rest.
Same as the Hebrew
Sheol.
Jesus figuratively used
this term in the parable
of the rich man and
Lazarus (Lk. 16:19-31). He
used that parable to
explain that decisions
must been made in this
life, not after death.
GEHENA
Hell. It makes reference to the
valley of Hinnom where idols
were worshipped. Jeremiah
prophesied that God would
make it a “Valley of Slaughter”
(Jer. 7:32, 33; 19:6)
11. According to Jude, the wicked will be
burned in the same eternal fire that
consumed Sodom. The fire in Sodom
was quenched after it destroyed
everything that had to be burned. That
fire was extinguished long ago, but its
aftermath is forever.
Will the wicked be burning forever in a
sea of fire?
“as Sodom and Gomorrah, and the
cities around them in a similar manner
to these, having given themselves over
to sexual immorality and gone after
strange flesh, are set forth as an
example, suffering the vengeance of
eternal fire.” (Jude 7)
“If your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to
enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell,
into the fire that shall never be quenched.” (Mark 9:43)
12. “Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. He who
believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live.’” (John 11:25)
Lazarus had been dead for four days. The
stench testified to the rotting of his body.
A great crowd gathered there because of
Lazarus’ death. There Jesus showed His power
over death by doing the “top” miracle in His
ministry.
Jesus resurrected several people during His
ministry. But the true resurrection guarantee is the
resurrection of Jesus Himself.
“knowing that He who raised up the Lord
Jesus will also raise us up with Jesus,
and will present us with you.”
(2 Corinthians 4:14)
13. “The resurrection and ascension of our Lord is a sure
evidence of the triumph of the saints of God over death
and the grave, and a pledge that heaven is open to those
who wash their robes of character and make them
white in the blood of the Lamb. Jesus ascended to the
Father as a representative of the human race, and God
will bring those who reflect His image to behold and
share with Him His glory.”
