Christian religious theory of life after death. It is a materialistic view of life after death as it supports the idea that the body and the mind cannot be separated, arguing that after death the body “continues”. However the theoretical Eternal Life of the resurrected individual does not represent the biological definition of living. Indeed, our abilities to breathe, grow, feed or reproduce are not eternal.

shared passages, lacks anything mentioning Jesus’ birth and early life, two extremely important aspects of Jesus’ life. Luke and Matthew both include these, yet with unquestionably different accounts. The similarities begin with the baptism of Jesus. Both Matthew and Mark agree that Jesus is baptized by John the Baptist, in the Jordan, after arriving from Galilee (Matthew 3:13, Mark 1:9). From there all three gospels have a
matter what denomination a Christian is, they must agree to the fact that Jesus physically died on the cross and physically rose three days later. This was the only way Jesus could be the perfect sacrifice.

In the Bible, we have the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob - the God of Israel, proclaiming His infinite immortality and wisdom, by conversing with His created world through His own Spirit, and even giving His Son for mankind. He has asked mankind to have faith in Him, to accept Him, to seek Him, and walk with Him resulting in eternal life.

always been intrigued by the idea of a “Q” source and yet I am frustrated simultaneously. Perkins’ overview of the principles applied toward a more reverse creation of the “Q” source, using sections from the Synoptic Gospels that hold fast to the “Q” theory, seems to reveal a sound method for a reconstruction project of such magnitude.
