Les Feldick Bible Study

Does any other religion besides Christianity teach the resurrection of the dead?

No other religion on earth, nor any that has ever existed, teaches the resurrection of the dead in its theology. Mythologies and cults do not teach it; they teach reincarnation. Resurrection is strictly a Christian concept, a biblical concept, and was also part of the Old Testament economy.

Les explains that no other religion, mythology, or cult has ever included the resurrection of the dead in its theology. They may have reincarnation, but resurrection is strictly a Christian and biblical concept. He notes it was also part of the Old Testament economy, and everything centers on the resurrection. Otherwise, as Paul writes, you might as well eat, drink, and be merry. Les also points out that Paul wrote these deep doctrinal things about resurrection to a carnal congregation, reminding them he dies daily.
