He rose again?

[maryj]

Nicene creed:
On the third day he rose again…? Again as he’d done once before?

Or…
He rose.
again in the fullfillment of the Scriptures.
Again He has fullfilled the Scriptures??

Help me out here, I’ve been saying this prayer all my life and it occurred to me last Sunday does that mean Jesus rose Again? Or he has again fulfilled the Scriptures?
And yet the Apostles Creed also says;
On the third day He rose again.

I’m have a senior moment I think

In French we say ‘resurrected from the dead’ so I think in this case it’s a simple matter of translation.

Think how often we say something like “He fell but he got up again.” We could (should?) properly say “He fell but he got up.” But does using ‘again’ mean that he got up more than once after falling that one time? No, it’s just the way we use the language. Try saying those lines of the creeds without using “again”. Doesn’t it sound awkward?

It does sound awkward. This “again” is kind of like the “all have sinned” debate, or the He will rule “until” his enemies are his footstool debate. I don’t know, I’m thinking it should read" On the third day He rose from the dead" but then again what do I know . thanks for the reply.

Part of the issue is that when we recite the Creed, we have a tendency to run everything together and it sounds wonky.

In the case of the passage you are referring to, to means that what he did fulfilled the Scriptures, just as everything else in Jesus’ life was a fulfillment of the Old Testament prophesies.

So your saying it’s-
He rose.(period)
Again in fulfillment of the scriptures.

The example of ‘she fell and got up again’ shows that the thought is sort of ‘she is again in the situation of her status before her fall’ or ‘once again she is standing’

So ‘On the third day he rose again’ might just be saying

He is alive again!!

“et resurrexit tertia die secundum Scripturas”

in the Latin version “again” is not present and so your interpretation is to me the most meaningful.

I apologize for my poor understanding of the English language. But resurrection comes from re-surgere → re-rise → rise again. He rose the first time at His birth.

Excellent also. this is why these forums can be so much fun, and we can learn so much from each other. thank you.

Perhaps more of a
“He rose, again in fulfillment of the Scriptures”

If you look in the misselette, it has no punctuation, but does have “verses”. The “again” is part of the “verse” before, but that makes no sense…
Think it’s a AAA question?

Dear Kim,

When we say that the man fell down and then got up again, we don’t mean that he got up twice. The Creed uses the word “again” in the same way.
