ELDER J. C. SIKES THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD

There is no truth more plainly taught in the Bible than the resurrection of the dead. Any man who can read can see that the Bible plainly teaches that the bodies of men who die and are buried in the earth shall be raised from the dead when Christ appears the second time unto salvation, whether he believes it or not.

ELDER GEORGE RUSTON 1 CORINTHIANS 15:22-26

“For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. But every man in his own order: Christ the first-fruits; afterward they that are Christ’s at his coming. Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death.”

The Late ELDER D. M. VAIL (Letter written to Elder F. A. Chick

Waverly, New York, 2/20/09. Eld. F. A. Chick, Dear Bro, in Christ: I am now seated to try and answer your questions.

ELDER H. H. LEFFERTS THE SPIRIT OF CHRIST IN US

Elder E. L. Cobb, Dear Brother in the Gospel: The Lord enabling me, I shall reply to your recent letter in which you ask my views on the 11th verse of the 8th chapter of Romans.

ELDER W. D. GRIFFIN THE RESURRECTION

Is there something about you that God has put into your mortal body that is to live forever? Is that indefinable something the same that fell into sin and condemnation in the morning of time when our mother Eve was deceived and led Adam to take of the forbidden fruit? We know such cannot be. If nothing of me (the poor lost sinner) is to enter heaven, except something that was put into me, what is benefited? Does language mean anything? If brethren cannot accept plainly written words to mean what authorities say they mean, then why take one set of scriptures to mean emphatically what they say and another to have a meaning that suits their fantastic theories? Brethren say that salvation is by grace. True. But why argue that the dead in sin hear the voice of the Son of God and live, then say that the bodies or those sleeping in the graves will not come forth? Each of them is to hear the same voice of the same omnipotent Son. One group is to live. If this does not mean the dead sinner, the man, who is to hear His voice, then what does it mean? This wonderful work is going on now.

CHAPTER III 

Jesus taught the resurrection of the body from the grave.

The Late ELDER W. N. THARP OUR BODIES WILL BE RESURRECTED

CHAPTER I Elder R. W. Thompson; Dear Brother: I have been impressed of late to write for the Monitor some thoughts on the doctrine of the resurrection. 

The Late ELDER H. B. JONES: THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD

What do the scriptures teach on the subject? Who or what are the subjects of it? Those are pertinent questions and important ones to all who wish to be guided by the word of God – all who believe the Bible is the only inspired, divinely authorized, and infallible standard, or rule of faith and practice for true worshippers of God. 

The Late ELDER L. H. HARDY REIDSVILLE, N. C., May 25, 1909. ON THE RESURRECTION

DEAR BROTHER CHICK: – For some cause I feel strongly impressed to write some of the things which I understand the Scriptures to teach concerning the resurrection of the bodies of those who sleep, both of the just and of the unjust, and I pray the Lord to guide me in the attempt.

ELDER WILLIAM L. BEEBE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD

SECTION B The Late ELDER WM. L. BEEBE (He was the second Editor of the Signs of the Times)

The Late ELDER GILBERT BEEBE THE RESURRECTION OF THE DEAD NEW VERNON, N. Y., Nov. 1, 1846

BROTHER BEEBE: There are three or four designing men in Middle Tennessee who have created considerable excitement on the subject of a non-resurrection. They have charged the Richland Association with denying the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead. “I have been a member of this association for the last eighteen years, and I know that it believes the doctrine of the resurrection of the dead, and of a general judgment. It denies the resurrection of flesh and blood, and contends for the resurrection of Jesus Christ and all his saints, spiritual, in his likeness, as John says. – 1 John iii. 2. I send you a copy of faith in all the leading principles of the gospel, as they present an abstract of our principles.
