| | Resurrection of Christ (WebBible Encyclopedia) - ChristianAnswers.Net |
 | | esus Christ's resurrection from the dead is one of the cardinal facts and doctrines of the gospel. | | | The resurrection is a public testimony of Christ's release from his undertaking as surety, and an evidence of the Father's acceptance of his work of redemption. | | | The importance of Christ's resurrection will be seen when we consider that if he rose the gospel is true, and if he rose not it is false. |

| | Pantocrator |
| | The church of Christ Pantocrator, to the north, is of the cross-inscribed type with a large dome. | | | This would explain why Sgouropoulos when writing on the Council of Florence (Book IV, 16), describes the icons, sacred vessels and holy relics of the Pantocrator which were, and still are, in the church of S. Marco, Venice-including the famous Pala d'oro that had once adorned the templon of the church of Christ Pantocrator. | | | The monastery of Christ Pantocrator was under the direct authority of the Byzantine Emperors. |

| | A Sinner's Justification Before God |
| | Christ’s righteousness is not upon us, in the sense of the gospel, before faith; for the gospel is express, that it is to and upon us, in a way of believing; and should men or angels tell us the contrary, we are not to regard them. | | | Christ, as the Lord our righteousness, fills both testaments with his glory; for thus considered he is the sum of the Old Testament promises and prophecies, and the substance of Old Testament types and figures; and thus considered he is the treasure hid in the field of the New. | | | Christ, as the Lord our righteousness, has brought in such a way of knowing and of enjoying God, as the first Adam and his covenant were utter strangers to; to wit, a seeing God face to face, in the presence chamber of heaven, and a being filled with God, even with all his fulness. |

| | Were people saved before Christ |
| | When I look in the past before Christ was born, I discover many religious leaders and philosophers that had the wisdom of God, and so I conclude that they were saved by Christ. | | | Consider Buddha: he lived 500 hundred years before Christ, yet he was enlightened by wisdom. | | | The point is that I believe Christ saved Buddha and the evidence of his salvation was his wisdom. |

| | SUMMA THEOLOGICA: Were sacraments necessary in the state after sin and before Christ? |
| | Therefore before Christ's coming there was need for some visible signs whereby man might testify to his faith in the future coming of a Saviour. | | | Christ's Passion is the final cause of the old sacraments: for they were instituted in order to foreshadow it. | | | For it has been stated that the Passion of Christ is applied to men through the sacraments: so that Christ's Passion is compared to the sacraments as cause to effect. |

| | The Apostle expresses the impression produced on the early Church by the eschatological teaching of Jesus Christ. | | | In the Church of Thessalonica disturbances had occurred on account of the belief that the second coming of Jesus Christ was imminent. | | | If the Church must suffer like Christ, and if Christ was called Beelzebub, the true Church must expect a similar reproach; thus, the Papal-Antichrist theory becomes an argument in favor of the Roman Church. |

| | Did Jesus Christ Really Live? |
| | The Christ of Paul and the Jesus of the Gospels are two entirely different beings. | | | The Christ of the Gospels is shown to be artificial by the numerous contradictions in his character and teachings. | | | After his birth, Christ, as it were, vanishes out of existence, and with the exception of a single incident recorded in Luke, we hear absolutely nothing of him until he has reached the age of thirty years. |

| | Christ Pantocrator Descriptive Information |
| | The oldest known icon of Christ Pantocrator was written in the sixth century and preserved in the remote monastery of St. Catherine in the Sinai desert. | | | Christs halo, the iconographic symbol for sanctity, is inscribed with a cross and the Greek letters omicron, omega, nu, spelling "HO ON." In English, this becomes "Who Am," the name used for God in Exodus 3:14. | | | The word Pantocrator is Greek, meaning "Ruler of All." The image expresses the central reality of the Christian faith; the Divine Majesty of the creator and ruler of all the world, made flesh and therefore visible to us in the person of Christ Jesus our redeemer. |

| | ICONS OF THE PATRIARCHAL HOUSE |
| | This type of Christ Pantocrator, depicted in bust, making the sign of blessing and holding an open Gospel Book, was being customarily painted from the earlier centuries to the Paleologan age in the lunettes over the doorways of church narthexes. | | | The open Gospel Book is inscribed with the beginning of the Gospel according to St. Matthew: "The book of the generation of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham". | | | The austere type of Christ Pantocrator depicted in this icon was to be gradually replaced by the so-called Palaeologan Christ with the gentle classicizing countenance. |

| | In Christ Pantocrator icons, Christ is facing directly frontally holding the Gospel or Book of Judgment in His left hand with raised right hand in blessing of the viewer, typically with a positioning of the fingers according to iconographic standards. | | | This may not be as true for the Christ Pantocrator icon. | | | As it turns out, early representations of Christ most often omitted both His beard and halo, both of which are apparent in the Christ Pantocrator icon. |

| | THE ANTI CHRIST Unveiled by Richard Bennett |
| | Depending on these physical signs instead of direct faith on the Lord Christ Jesus is the deception of the papacy which subtly deflects faith from the person of Christ to signs that are claimed to be powers. | | | To presume to take the place of Christ Himself as Prophet, Priest, and King, and to presume to act as in His person is clearly tantamount to sit[ting] as God in the temple of God, setting himself forth, that he is God. | | | This indicates that Satans design is to replace Christ with his own man. The stated objective is given in verse 4, Who opposeth and exalteth himself above all that is called God, or that is worshipped; so that he as God sitteth in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. |

| | Salvation before Christ |
| | Romans 1:16-17 For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation to every one that believeth; to the Jew first, and also to the Greek. | | | The blow by the serpent was Jesus' death on the cross (ultimate basis), whereas Satan's defeat was the resurrection of Christ from the dead. | | | The requirement for salvation is faith, with the object being God, but the content of that faith changes due to what may be known of Christ and His death through the progress of revelation. |
