okay so stop me if you’ve heard this one
a rabbi a pastor and an imam walk into a
bar okay so it wasn’t barred was a diner
to discuss my shows a story of God about
resurrection so the pastor says cause a
Christian the idea of resurrection is
huge for us you know we believe that
Jesus was resurrected even just hearing
the word resurrection for me as an
American Jew it resonates so strongly as
a Christian word so I’ve always been
curious his resurrection have a place in
Jewish faith there is concepts of
resurrection of the soul we do believe
in a God that gives life to the dead now
on a metaphoric level we can understand
that to be a person who’s maybe not able
to function that God gives life to that
person and on a literal level it could
mean that at the end of days that there
is a resurrection and a return the
resurrection of a resurrection of the
people and a return to the Land of
Israel I see what about in Islam we
believe that every human being after
their death will be resurrected in their
physical sense and stand before God a
judgment you have probably more sex with
in Christianity more sex square by sex
forever within Christianity and
all the other major religions combined
so there’s a lot of different
perspectives eternal life begins the
moment that you marry your spirit with
God through faith in His Son Jesus our
bodies now are mortal
they are susceptible to destruction to
death if we’re going to live forever
we need new bodies so resurrection is
pretty much more of a shedding off of
that which is not eternal might be
possible for us to at some point
transfer the consciousness to some kind
of computer simulation given the
advances of Science and Technology and
human engineering with regards to
genetics can we intervene and derail
God’s plan by prolonging our lives I
think there’s a lot of danger and
complication when we head down that
route because everything else on our
earth is on a cycle of everything that
lives then dies God has blessed us with
technologies and medicines so I don’t
think that God gets mad at you for
trying to do everything in your power to
live longer as long as you do it with a
healthy understanding that your days are
ultimately in God’s hand one peaceful
image that’s always resonated with me is
that when we die our souls join with God
and God is like the the river or the
waterfall and we’re each like an
individual strand of that waterfall so
all flowing together with God and still
part of the whole
and Hinduism there’s this notion of you
live through this life and if you do a
good enough job you’ll be reincarnated
in a better form and then you can keep
moving up the ranks until eventually you
don’t need to be reincarnated anymore in
the Islamic tradition you only get one
chance and if you don’t make it here
you’re kind of resurrected and in that
in the hereafter in either heaven or
hell or you might be resurrected many
more times and eventually purge then
make your way up so it’s a very similar
concept but instead of the resurrection
happening here it happens in the
hereafter are there any particular
near-death experiences that have
corroborated your belief or disbelief
the story of the person who had drowned
for between 15 and 18 minutes and then
came back to life and his view of light
seems to be a common theme amongst
people and those who came back saw the
light they felt comfortable they felt
warm they weren’t afraid what it does
corroborate is this notion that the soul
lives on beyond the physical body and
it’s striking that all of these people
had such similar experiences and stories
to come back with it’s really
fascinating to me the process of death
in the body and how it takes time for
the cells to break down and for the
death process to begin and
process of the body seems to be separate
from the experience of the soul there’s
a believed to be absent from the body is
to be present with the Lord
and so in a lot of Christian traditions
you’re not sad for them you believe that
they have gone on something incredible
