Question: Do you agree with Henry Morris's point of view regarding Matthew 27:51-53 and the "bodies of the saints which slept [and then] arose and came out of the graves after his resurrection"?

Question: You teach that upon death Christians go to be with Christ. And yet the Bible says they rise from their graves at Christ’s return. How can they be in heaven and rise from their graves, too?

Question: I have wondered about Matthew 27:52-53 for a long time and have never heard or read an explanation. What do you think...?
