God from God, Light from Light,

So what you are telling me is.....man had the power and capability to kill God for 3 days. Wonder who was running things while He was dead.
Oh wait...no that's not it...God gave himself to Satan for 3 days, because it is taught that hell is where you burn, not "sheol" the GRAVE. Forget the Lake of FIRE at the end of the book.
Forget that everyone Christ raised from the dead, He said they were sleeping. Wonder why they got to sleep and Christ ....oh sorry God had to go to hell and burn for 3 days, while who the heck knows was running the world.
Oh and not only that...you have to factor in, you get judged TWICE. You are sent to heaven or hell when you die, and then at the end of the book when all the dead are resurrected, you get judged AGAIN, when all the books are opened. Wonder if God will have goofed up and sent someone to the wrong place. How much more can we twist scripture to fit mankinds vain imaginations.
How totally corrupt and full of every wicked thing the worldly built church has become, just as prophecied.
How vain mankind is, how arrogant and rebellious this world has become.

Christ's Resurrection is necessarily a glorious one; it implies not merely the reunion of body and soul, but also the glorification of the body.
Christ's body was to know no corruption, but rose again soon after death, when sufficient time had elapsed to leave no doubt as to the reality of His death.
Christ was the first to rise unto life immortal; those raised before Him died again (Col., i, I8; I Cor., xv, 20).
As the Divine power which raised Christ from the grave was His own power, He rose from the dead by His own power (John, ii, 19; x, l7-18).
Since the Resurrection had been promised as the main proof of Christ's Divine mission, it has a greater dogmatic importance than any other fact. "If Christ be not risen again, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain" (I Cor., xv, 14).

From the Catholic Encyclopedia
All shall rise from the dead in their own, in their entire, and in immortal bodies; but the good shall rise to the resurrection of life, the wicked to the resurrection of Judgment.

The Catholic doctrine of the particular judgment is this: that immediately after death the eternal destiny of each separated soul is decided by the just judgment of God. Although there has been no formal definition on this point, the dogma is clearly implied in the Union Decree of Eugene IV (1439), which declares that souls leaving their bodies in a state of grace, but in need of purification are cleansed in Purgatory, whereas souls that are perfectly pure are at once admitted to the beatific vision of the Godhead (ipsum Deum unum et trinum) and those who depart in actual mortal sin, or merely with original sin, are at once consigned to eternal punishment, the quality of which corresponds to their sin (paenis tamen disparibus).

The Roman Catechism thus explains why, besides the particular judgment of each individual, a general one should also be passed on the assembled world: "The first reason is founded on the circumstances that most augment the rewards or aggravate the punishments of the dead. Those who depart this life sometimes leave behind them children who imitate the conduct of their parents, descendants, followers; and others who adhere to and advocate the example, the language, the conduct of those on whom they depend, and whose example they follow; and as the good or bad influence or example, affecting as it does the conduct of many, is to terminate only with this world; justice demands that, in order to form a proper estimate of the good or bad actions of all, a general judgment should take place. . . . Finally, it was important to prove, that in prosperity and adversity, which are sometimes the promiscuous lot of the good and of the bad, everything is ordered by an all-wise, all-just, and all-ruling Providence: it was therefore necessary not only that rewards and punishments should await us in the next life but that they should be awarded by a public and general judgment."
