For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God.       1 Peter 2:13-15 NASB   13 Submit yourselves for the Lord\u2019s sake to every human institution, whether to a king as the one in authority, 14 or to governors as sent by him for the punishment of evildoers and the praise of those who do right.15 For such is the will of God, that by doing right you silence the ignorance of foolish people.       Matthew 22:23-24 ESV   23 The same day Sadducees came to him, who say that there is no resurrection, and they asked him a question, 24 saying, \u201cTeacher, Moses said, \u2018If a man dies having no children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for his brother.\u2019       John 11:47-48 NASB   47 Therefore the chief priests and the Pharisees convened a council meeting, and they were saying, \u201cWhat are we doing in regard to the fact that this Man is performing many signs? 48 If we let Him go on like this, all the people will believe in Him, and the Romans will come and take over both our place and our nation.\u201d       Deuteronomy 25:5-6 ESV   5 \u201cIf brothers dwell together, and one of them dies and has no son, the wife of the dead man shall not be married outside the family to a stranger. Her husband's brother shall go in to her and take her as his wife and perform the duty of a husband's brother to her. 6 And the first son whom she bears shall succeed to the name of his dead brother, that his name may not be blotted out of Israel.       Deuteronomy 25:9-10 ESV   9 then his brother's wife shall go up to him in the presence of the elders and pull his sandal off his foot and spit in his face. And she shall answer and say, \u2018So shall it be done to the man who does not build up his brother's house.\u2019 10 And the name of his house shall be called in Israel, \u2018The house of him who had his sandal pulled off.\u2019       Matthew 22:25-28 ESV   25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first married and died, and having no offspring left his wife to his brother. 26 So too the second and third, down to the seventh.27 After them all, the woman died. 28 In the resurrection, therefore, of the seven, whose wife will she be? For they all had her.\u201d       1 Corinthians 15:13-19 NASB   13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then not even Christ has been raised; 14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is in vain, your faith also is in vain. 15 Moreover, we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised. 16 For if the dead are not raised, then not even Christ has been raised; 17 and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. 18 Then also those who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. 19 If we have hoped in Christ only in this life, we are of all people most to be pitied.       \u201cWhat we know today as the great Watergate cover-up lasted only three weeks. Some of the most powerful politicians in the world\u2013and we couldn\u2019t keep a lie for more than three weeks\u2026Can anyone believe that for fifty years that Jesus\u2019 disciples were willing to be ostracized, beaten, persecuted, and all but one of them suffer a martyr\u2019s death\u2013without ever renouncing their conviction that they had seen Jesus bodily resurrected? Does anyone really think the disciples could have maintained a lie all that time under that kind of pressure?\u201d https:\/\/breakpoint.org\/watergate-and-the-resurrection\/       Matthew 22:29-33 ESV   29 But Jesus answered them, \u201cYou are wrong, because you know neither the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven. 31 And as for the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was said to you by God: 32 \u2018I am the God of Abraham, and the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob\u2019? He is not God of the dead, but of the living.\u201d 33 And when the crowd heard it, they were astonished at his teaching.       Luke 20:34-36 NASB   34 Jesus said to them, \u201cThe sons of this age marry and the women are given in marriage, 35 but those who are considered worthy to attain to that age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; 36 for they cannot even die anymore, for they are like angels, and are sons of God, being sons of the resurrection.       Luke 20:37-38 ESV   37 But that the dead are raised, even Moses showed, in the passage about the bush, where he calls the Lord the God of Abraham and the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob. 38 Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.\u201d       2 Timothy 1:9-14 NASB   9 who saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to His own purpose and grace, which was granted to us in Christ Jesus from all eternity, 10 but has now been revealed by the appearing of our Savior Christ Jesus, who abolished death and brought life and immortality to light through the gospel, 11 for which I was appointed a preacher, an apostle, and a teacher. 12 For this reason I also suffer these things; but I am not ashamed, for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that He is able to protect what I have entrusted to Him until that day. 13 Hold on to the example of sound words which you have heard from me, in the faith and love which are in Christ Jesus. 14 Protect, through the Holy Spirit who dwells in us, the treasure which has been entrusted to you.                     ","author_name":"Central Christian Podcast","author_url":"http:\/\/www.centralhome.org","html":"
