Can a person be a Christian without the Resurrection?

[MatthewG]

What are your thoughts on it?

Myself I concluded a person can not live by the Old Testament, in order to be made right with Yahavah.

If Jesus was not resurrected, no hope for anyone

 

[MatthewG]

I wonder how many people are willingly to truthfully say to themselves "I do believe that God raised Jesus up from the dead," faithfully, @JesusFan. There are a lot of people whom are very skeptical of Jesus, and they desire to by pass and hop over the gate, which he leads people within to have peace, rest and comfort. They instead try to do everything themselves, but that just never works.

It's a basic of the faith.
1 Cor 15 12Now 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? 13But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised; 14and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain. 15Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised. 16For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised; 17and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.

The scripture is clear on this issue:

1 Co 15:13-17
But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.Yea, and we are found false witnesses of God; because we have testified of God that he raised up Christ: whom he raised not up, if so be that the dead rise not. For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: And if Christ be not raised, your faith is vain; ye are yet in your sins.

 

[MatthewG]

““Most assuredly, I say to you, he who does not enter the sheepfold by the door, but climbs up some other way, the same is a thief and a robber. But he who enters by the door is the shepherd of the sheep. To him the doorkeeper opens, and the sheep hear his voice; and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out. And when he brings out his own sheep, he goes before them; and the sheep follow him, for they know his voice. Yet they will by no means follow a stranger, but will flee from him, for they do not know the voice of strangers.” Jesus used this illustration, but they did not understand the things which He spoke to them.”
‭‭John‬ ‭10‬:‭1‬-‭6‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

What is really scary is that Jesus stated to us that Many will be deluded into thinking that they believed in Jesus, but in the end, they NEVER knew the real Jesus, just the Jesus of the world, culture, cults etc

Many go to a church and know of Him, but not know Him personally, or else the Jesus they know is the one of the cults or other religions

Hmm

The sheer shock once they now know that the Jesus they were following was not the true one, who only could have saved them from their sins

 

[Behold]

Chrisitanity is built on the word of Christ where He told us from The Cross......."It is Finished//Accomplished".

Those words are why Christianity Exists.

The Resurrection of The Lord Jesus The Christ...... proves those words are TRUE.

Yeah, that type of thing sucks.
