Problem: The Bible seems to claim here that Christ was the first one ever to rise from the dead, calling Him “the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.” However, there are many other resurrections recorded in the Bible before Jesus’ resurrection, both in the OT (cf. 1 Kings 17:22; 2 Kings 13:21) and in the NT (cf. John 11:43–44; Acts 20:9). How then could Jesus’ resurrection be the first one.
