Christians believe that Jesus rose from the dead.
have u heard of a thing called the Bible?
Christians believe that Jesus Christ did truly rise from the dead. He was crucified died and was buried. He rose from the dead and is now seated at the right hand of the father in heaven.
It says that when Christ comes the second time the dead in christ will then rise. And till then no one will go to heaven until the day of judgement.
Yes. Those who have died believing in Christ will rise first to meet Him in the air, followed by the Christians still alive at the time.
First, the Christians who have died will rise from their graves of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
no because Jesus rose from the dead after 3 days after his crucifiction
The Apostle Paul gives the best answer to your question that you could hope for:1 Corinthians 15:12-22 - Now if Christ is preached that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, then our preaching is empty and your faith is also empty.Yes, and we are found false witnesses of God, because we have testified of God that He raised up Christ, whom He did not raise up - if in fact the dead do not rise. For if the dead do not rise, then Christ is not risen. And if Christ is not risen, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins! Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.If in this life only we have hope in Christ, we are of all men the most pitiable.But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep. For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead. For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.[NKJV]
Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, was making reference to his physical body. He knew that he would be crucified and that he would rise from the dead on the third day in fulfillment of the Scriptures. The word "destroy" is a command in the second person. The Jewish leaders would go on to crucify ("destroy") Christ but he would not be destroyed forever. After three days, God raised him from the dead.

"If Christ has not been raised, our preaching is useless and so is your faith."More than that, we are then found to be false witnesses about God, for we have testified about God that He raised Christ from the dead. But He did not raise Him if in fact the dead are not raised."For if the dead are not raised, then Christ has not been risen either. And if Christ has not been raised, your faith is futile; you are still in your sins."Then those also who have fallen asleep [died] in Christ are lost."If only for this life we have hope in Christ, we are to be pitied more than all men." (I Cor.15:14-19 NIV)
