Why do some Christian’s belief the resurrection was essential?
Because:
-the resurrection demonstrates God’s awesome power, therefore if you say it didn’t happen you’re limiting God,
-it removes the sting of death which is its finality,
-the resurrection confirm that Jesus was who he said he was-the messiah, and the son of God,
-for those who take the bible literally and see it as God’s word, it must be true, because God can be trusted completely,
Why do some Christian’s believe the resurrection was not essential?
Because:
-some Christians feel the resurrection isn’t meant to be taken literally ― they see it as a metaphor or a myth. It shows that Jesus’ power lived on after his death, but through his teachings and the lives of his followers,
-some will argue that Jesus didn’t talk a lot about what happens after death. He was most concerned with teaching people to bring about God’s Kingdom in this world while they were alive, so believing in His resurrection isn’t essential,
-some Christians feel that they can’t accept the supernatural elements of the story, because it doesn’t fit with how science understands what a human being is. However, they believe it is still possible to be a true follower of Jesus if you live by his teachings,
-they might feel that the resurrection appearances were a spiritual experience rather than a physical one. This would explain why Jesus seems to have been able to appear in a locked room and wasn’t always recognised by his followers.
