A:
This depends on the passage being read:
- In Matthew 28:9, the women touch Jesus, holding him by the feet, on the morning of his resurrection. Jesus allowed them to worship him thus.
- In John 20:17, Jesus says to Mary Magdalene, "Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended ..." In this gospel, not only could Mary not touch Jesus, but no one could before he rose to heaven.
- Eight days later, still in John's Gospel at verse 20:27, Jesus forgets his earlier concern and tells Thomas to touch his wounds.

What was Paul's central understanding of Jesus in 1 Corinthians?
A:A detailed examination of Paul's Christology in the First Epistle to the Corinthians would occupy a small book, and then others would write books from a slightly different perspective. It is only possible to provide a brief answer. Paul seems entirely unaware of the gospel accounts that would be written some decades after he wrote this epistle. Some of the sayings that Paul wrote as his own would later be attributed to Jesus in the gospels. 1 Corinthians 15:12-13 tells us what Paul knew about the resurrection of Jesus: "Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead? But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:" Note that Paul only talks of Jesus as "preached" as rising from the dead and never declares his certain knowledge that Jesus really did, as one would expect from the account in Acts of the Apostles. He teaches that the belief in the general resurrection of the dead is all the evidence we need to believe that Jesus was resurrected.His descriptions of the resurrection of Jesus and his discussions on the resurrection of the faithful have been described as suggesting that Paul saw the resurrection of Jesus as a purely spiritual one, or that the resurrection and ascension to heaven were exactly the same event. Some have gone even further and point out that Paul could have believed that Jesus did not live on earth and that the crucifixion and resurrection took place in heaven. This could be dismissed as fantasy, except that we find Hebrews, by a different author but from about the same time as Paul's epistles, talks of Jesus as the High Priest in heaven.At 1 Corinthians 15:3-8, Paul said that Jesus died and was buried, rose again according to the scriptures, then was seen by Cephas (Peter), then the twelve, then by more than 500, most of whom were still alive, then by James and all the apostles, and finally by himself. This account differ in several important ways from the accounts that would later form part of the gospels, but Paul implied that the appearances were all of the same nature. Either Paul saw Jesus in the flesh after his resurrection, for which there is no evidence, or he experienced the risen Jesus spiritually and therefore believed that the appearances to the disciples and other were also only spiritual.
Which religion is Easter part of?
Easter is the Christian celebration of the remembrance of the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, brought back to life after he was crucified in our place so we could receive salvation.
What events lead to Jesus' death?
In the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) the event that triggered the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus was the cleansing of the temple. On the evening of the Passover, Jesus and the disciples celebrated with a ritual meal, known as the Last Supper, then went to the Garden of Gethsemene to pray. Here, Judas betrayed Jesus, who was arrested and taken before the Sanhedrin court then before the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, because the Sanhedrin could not pass a sentence of death. In Luke's Gospel, Pilate sent Jesus to Herod Antipas for sentencing, which Herod refused to do, leaving Pilate to pass sentence.In John's Gospel, the event that triggered the arrest and crucifixion of Jesus was the resurrection of Lazarus, with the pharisees and the priests saying that the whole world is following Jesus. On the evening before the Passover, Jesus and the disciples met for a simple meal and Jesus washed the feet of the disciples. Jesus then went to the brook of Cedron to pray. Here, Judas betrayed Jesus, who was arrested and taken before Annas, then separately to Caiaphas, because the Sanhedrin never met during the hours of darkness. They then took him before the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate for sentencing.
Why is St Bartholomew an apostle?
St. Bartholomew is considered an apostle because he was chosen by Jesus to be one of the twelve original disciples who spread the teachings of Christianity after Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection. Bartholomew's apostleship is mentioned in the Bible, specifically in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and Acts.
Did Our Lady see the risen Jesus?
In the original gospel account of the Resurrection, that of Mark's Gospel, no one appears to have seen the risen Jesus, because the gospel originally ended at verse 16:8 when the young man tol the women that Jesus was risen and they fled in terror, telling no one. In the 'Long Ending' (verses 16:9-20) subsequently added to Mark's Gospel, Jesus appeared later to Mary Magdalene and then to "two of them as they walked" and finally to the disciples in the upper room, where he made some final, parting remarks. In the Long Ending, the two walking could be either the two women of Matthew's Gospel or the two men of Luke's Gospel. Unless Mary, mother of Christ, was one of the two, she never saw the risen Jesus. In Matthew's Gospel, Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene and the other Mary as they returned from the tomb. The gospel does not say who the 'other Mary' was, but it could have been Our Lady. In Luke's Gospel, appeared only to the two men on the road to Emmaeus and then the disciples. Since he was taken bodily up into heaven on the very evening of his resurrection, Mary would not have seen Jesus. In John's Gospel, Jesus appeared to Mary Magdalene and the disciples only. In Acts of the Apostles, by the same author as Luke's Gospel but written somewhat later, Jesus remained on earth of forty days after his resurrection and was seen by many. It is most probable that Mary would have seen him.

What is spiritual and bodily resurrection?
A:In his epistles, Paul seems to have believed in a spiritual resurrection of Jesus, in other words believing that the resurrection and the ascension to heaven were one and the same. When he describes the appearances of Jesus to Cephas, James and the disciples, he makes no distinction with the presumably spiritual or even allegorical appearance to himself. Paul never seems to believe that the risen Jesus could be seen in the flesh. The New Testament gospels speak of a physical resurrection, because the body of Jesus was no longer in the tomb and they go to great pains to prove that Jesus' resurrection was real and in the flesh.
Why is a considerable amount of detail given to the death and resurrection of Jesus in the Gospel accounts and why do these get special attention?
Could it perhaps be because the death and resurrection of Jesus is the pivitall event of Christianity, and according to Christianity the central event in all of history?

Do Christians believe in Resurrection?
If a church believes that the Bible is true then it will believe in the resurrection. Also, since the resurrection is an essential Christian doctrine and the Christian faith is meaningless without it, you could not disbelieve it and still be considered Christian in any sense.
Why do you think jesus waited with the disciples forty days after his resurrection before going to heaven?
A:It is unclear just when Jesus did ascend to heaven, if this is historically correct. Acts of the Apostles tells us that he ascended after forty days, during which he was seen by many (1:3). On this account, he could have chosen to wait until enough people had seen him to prove his resurrection was real. However, Luke's Gospel, written by the same author but somewhat earlier, says that Jesus ascended to heaven on the evening of the day of his resurrection (24:51). Paul, in his epistles, seems to have believed that the resurrection and the ascension to heaven were one and the same event - in other words, that Jesus was resurrected spiritually and that there was no physical resurrection. Matthew and Mark do not mention an ascension to heaven, and Matthew's account of the appearance of the risen Jesus to the disciples seems to rule out the ascension in Acts as well as that in Luke. On these accounts we can not say that Jesus waited forty days, or even that he ascended bodily to heaven at all.

Could a person live after the way jesus was crusified?
jesus was, undoubtedly, dead after his crucifixion. no human could survive the crucifixion (and jesus WAS human), and besides, his side was pierced with a spear to make sure he was dead. his resurrection could have only happened if he was God as well as man.
What does 'Jesus died for your sins' mean?
It means that Jesus died in your (and my) place. Since we could not pay the cost or penalty of our sins, Jesus paid it on our behalf because of God's great love for us. Through his death Jesus atoned (paid the price) for our sins so that we could be reconciled to God. And he overcame death through his resurrection so that you can have eternal life in him.
