[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Apostles' Creed

1. I believe in God the Father, Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth:

2. And in Jesus Christ, his only begotten Son, our Lord:

3. Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary:

4. Suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, dead and buried: He descended into hell:

5. The third day he rose again from the dead:

6. He ascended into heaven, and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty:

7. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead:

8. I believe in the Holy Ghost:

9. I believe in the holy catholic church: the communion of saints:

10. The forgiveness of sins:

1l. The resurrection of the body:

12. And the life everlasting. Amen. [/quote]

The Apostles' creed dates bad to the 4th century, before modern science.  So most/all Christians today believe in the literal resurrection and ascension?[/quote]

The creed is the statement of faith in most churches and is said in most church services.  So if that's not what you believe, then no, you are not a Christian.  You could be a big fan of Jesus or a super moral or ethical person but you wouldn't be a Christian.

And given how technology has shown us that we can bring people back from the dead, even if their heart has stopped for several minutes, don't you think it would be a rather trivial thing for God?  If you believe in God at least?  These questions always confuse me.  If one were to believe that an entity actually created the universe, wouldn't that entity be able to bend the laws of nature as a given?  [/quote]
