I was reading this post when you posted next and I forgot to finish my response. I acknowledge the value of many philosophers' truths. They're not lost on me because of my beliefs. However, I do evaluate and compare them against them though. My question about his death was to show that his mortality beat him and others who are just as noble and profound and who taught things that improved the character of many lives. But, those truths of theirs did not improve things enough to show a certainty of beating man's great enemy, death. The premise of resting the fulcrum of belief on whether one is risen or not to me is mute. The point of Jesus' resurrection is that I can share now in His kind of life through His Spirit who is available through the gospel. His life imparts certain benefits to my soul which will outlast the dying body I live in today. So, it is not moot. I do fully expect to rise again -- physically, just as He did. I do have care about the body because of it. I wish to treat it with respect in death. But, even if I am scattered dust by that time, I believe God knows me sufficiently enough to restore me with a word. Jesus has already proved to me that He is indeed alive as those in the new Testament testify. His evidence is with me in my daily life as it says in Romans 8 of his own, "His Spirit bears witness with our spirits that we are childrn of God."
