Resurrection is the recreation of the physiological person; it is assumed that reincarnation of the person is reliant only on a deity. Christianity, Islam and Judaism all believe in the idea of resurrection. In the Old Testament the background of Resurrection are developed at different stages, also developing into the New Testament. The term ‘sheol’ is mentioned in the early parts of the Old Testament and is the Hebrew term for the ‘abode of the dead’ It is the idea of a murky underworld where everyone went after death. Hades was the Greek underworld, it was graphic and physical where there were different levels of judgment, one being Elysian which was paradise and the other Tartus which was for the sinners.
The 3-Day Resurrection Once again, we go back to our concept of using past historical events to unpack concealed future prophetic events. The Prophet Hosea spoke about the resurrection on the third day some 730 years before the birth of Christ. “Come, and let us return to the LORD; For He has torn, but He will heal us; He has stricken, but He will bind us up. After two days He will revive us; on the third day He will raise us up, that we may live in His sight. Hos 6:1-2 NKJV Jesus Christ, after His crucifixion rose from dead on the third day.
Goal Statement I have been exposed to Christian theism therefore I consider myself to be a Christian. When I realized I was only a Christian from exposure was disturbing, therefore I decided I must expand my knowledge of worldviews. Therefore, I can say that I have started a journey towards an unknown world to learn whether the foundation I stand upon is stable or not. Being a Christian I believe that after death, a human’s soul goes to God for its judgment. God judges and decides whether a soul may stay in heaven or sends it to hell, this decision is eternal.
The Significance of the Rapture event • While we await the gentile age to end in the catastrophic era of the great tribulation, but the Bible promises us hope for the Church. • The hope in question is encapsulated in the supernatural event called rapture. “For God hath not appointed us to wrath, but to obtain salvation by our Lord Jesus Christ , who died for us, that whether we wake or sleep we should live together with him”(I Thessalonians 5:9,10). • The word “rapture” does not appear in the Bible. However, the use of the word is implied in the scriptures.
Beliefs about life after death Arguments for and against life after death Glossary Immortality of the soul Rebirth Reincarnation Resurrection Review of key ideas Revision Revision tips Introduction In this section of our course we are going to examine the philosophical concept of life after death. We shall examine the arguments in favour and against and then we will look at some of the concepts of life after death. Arguments for and against life after death In the course of our studies we have also come across the concept of eternal life as an answer to some of the problems that confront philosophers. John Hick uses the concept of `eschatological justification' as a solution to the problem of evil and many other philosophers fall back on the existence of an after life in an attempt to find solutions to some of the issues. Although we are going to look at this topic in terms of a Christian approach we must also recognise the views of other faiths, and their value to such a study.
There are many biblical references that point towards this interpretation, many of which have been misinterpreted in the past to prove the opposite (that we will be plucked from earth and moved to heaven). Bookless explores what heaven should be understood to be in the chapter, and does a good job of it, pointing towards heaven being a place where God resides and is worshiped by all creation. But in order for this to happen, everything in existence needs to be made new, renewed, that is, a total transformation of the entire

The only way for a client to change is to truly accept God and allow Him to lead them in His direction and in His time. As stated in 2 Corinthians 5:17: "Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new." God changes us all when we believe and follow in Him. He is the ultimate healer of all problems. The Human Personality It is important to understand how the human personality works in order to be able to counsel the client.
Compare and contrast two types of belief about life after death (18) Death is frequently defined as, “the complete and permanent cessation (ending) of all vital functions of a living creature, the end of all life”. However, some argue that death is not the end of all life, because, for example people live on in the form of inherited genes and in other people’s memories, therefore the latter part of this definition is disputed. Two views with respect to life after death are Immortality of the Soul and Rebirth, however I will compare and contrast Ressurection and Reincarnation. If this definition of death is accepted, is there reason to reject the idea of life after death in the form or reincarnation or ressurection? This argument is not just a religious issue, as many non religious believers find the prospect of a post mortem existence highly desirable.
