If you believe the material world is evil and you need secret knowledge to escape it, you’re not following Jesus.
You’re following Plato with a Christian vocabulary.
And Plato didn’t rise from the dead.
The resurrection matters because bodies matter. Jesus didn’t come to help us escape creation. He came to redeem it. That’s not a small difference. That’s everything.
Many such cases
No secret knowledge needed, just an undknowledge of our sinful nature, acceptance of Christ as Lord and His gift of redemption, and being baptised into Him. No secrets there, all laid out for us in the Bible.
A lot of parallels with a certain white paper and sound money... Some accept, some reject, but one day all with be unable to deny the truth.
Amen
"The resurrection matters because bodies matter. Jesus didn’t come to help us escape creation. He came to redeem it."
Well stated! Your body is a gift. Treat it well.
