Les Feldick Bible Study

Do any other religions teach resurrection like Christianity does?

No. According to this teaching, no religion in the world teaches resurrection as Christianity understands it. Other religions speak of a life hereafter, but resurrection is unique. Raising someone back to life, as with Elijah and Lazarus, is not resurrection, since they died again.

Les explains from 1 Corinthians 15 that death came by the first man, Adam, and resurrection came by the second man, Christ, the Lord from heaven. He says he cannot think of a single religion in the world that teaches resurrection as Christianity understands it. Other religions speak of a life hereafter, but resurrection is unique. Elijah raising the widow's son was not resurrection; the lad was merely brought back to life and later died again. Lazarus was called from the grave, but he too was merely brought back to life, not resurrected.
