[Salvation]

Catholics believe (and so do I) that Christ’s body was in the grave, but his soul was alive and he went to free the good people who were waiting for him to be the first one into heaven.

One of the Gospels talks about the people rising from their tombs and roaming around Jerusalem, but not everyone could see them.

We share a common belief there. I'm Baptist.

Well; it seems that we will be disagreeing about this until the SECOND Coming. (Don’t tell the MORMONs)

But the question that bugs me is, “What was Jesus WEARING after the Resurrection?”

The soldiers took away the scarlet robe they’d placed on Him and replaced His own clothes on Him... MT 27:31

Then, after the crucifixion, they gambled for His clothes... MT 27:35

Then Joseph wrapped His body with clean linen... MT 27:60

Then, after the resurrection, Peter saw the linen strips; lying by themselves... LK 24:12 & JN 20:6

Thus my question.

The first is true, but the second is unfounded. Matt 27:52-53

[count-your-change]

Paul, in the ninth and tenth chapters of Hebrews said Christ had to appear in heaven with his sacrifice before anyone could be freed, Christ acting as a high priest.

That didn't take place for some time after Christ's resurrection.

“One of the Gospels talks about the people rising from their tombs and roaming around Jerusalem, but not everyone could see them.”

What occurred there is connected with an earthquake that opened the tombs and must be viewed in the context of when Christ was to pay the ransom for mankind, returning to heaven.
