Answer:

Christians believe that Jesus truly defeated death, by ascending to Heaven after his resurrection. It celebrates God raising his son, Jesus, from the dead, which for Christians symbolises Jesus' destruction of the power of sin and the possibility of an afterlife in Heaven .

ANSWER: When Jesus died on the cross, he fulfilled yet another one of the profecies about him, and he had over 33 proficies written over 100 years before his birth! Yet he fulfilled them all. He rose again to life after three days in the tomb. The soldiers and politicans tried to cover it up by saying his body was stolen. But that was a lie. He had risen again! Also, people have been to the crucifixion site, they think they found the ark of the covenant under the cross itself! Anyways, scientists, have found proof of almost everything recorded in the Bible. But not everything. The Red Sea parting -were Pharoh's army drowned- that was proved correct. they have found the armor that the soldiers were wearing when the Red Sea closed on them, drowning them.
