Resurrection, revelation, and the process of divinity are topics, today. A “Yahoo! Answers” fighter using the ID “Grin” (Level 7 with 34,277 points, a member since January 25, 2007) posted the following:
If you think there is a God?
Why doesn't he resurrect the dead Or bring everyone up to heaven? are you ready for it to happen?
I've been hearing this story my entire life and it has been told for thousands of years.
Why doesn't it just happen?
THE GOLDEN ARROW: That your faith should not stand in the wisdom of men, but in the power of God. Howbeit we speak wisdom among them that are perfect: yet not the wisdom of this world, nor of the princes of this world, that come to nought: But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: Which none of the princes of this world knew: for had they known it, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory. But as it is written, Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him. But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. For what man knoweth the things of a man, save the spirit of man which is in him? even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God. Which things also we speak, not in the words which man’s wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual. But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. (1st Corinthians 2: 5-14, KJV)

“Grin”, for most Christian believers the only acceptable answers we may share are part of a larger system of beliefs and practices, and may not be reduced to a simple reply that would satisfy unbelievers. Even so, here are a few points you may find useful as you continue to ask and receive answers from the people who seek to serve divinity:
(1.) Just as within a human family there must be boundaries, discipline, distance, limitations, and rules to protect the several interests of each member as they exchange, interact, agree and disagree, there must be definitions, explanations and specific process to focus and order relationship with GOD who is Spirit, and who has appeared among mankind in flesh as Jesus Christ.
(2.) Death, rebirth, and resurrection are divine tools along with such gifts from GOD as sacred knowledge, law, wisdom, and holy writings. Thereby, the primary eternal purposes of Deity come into view that center upon eternal life.
(3.) The operations of sin upon awareness and self-will within mankind are a barrier to communion, interaction, and unity between the Creator and the created. Conjecture, philosophy, and speculation are removed within the followers of Jesus through the operations of divine substance such as faith, holiness, joy, righteousness and truth received through baptism.
There is far more to be said, correctly understood, and spiritually apprehended. (For example, (4.) With GOD, things do not “just happen,” given a primary purpose also is that divinity be correctly known and responded to by all created beings and living creatures. This is called “revelation”. In the same way a newborn probably does not have a full understanding of his own conception and birth, yet, it is their own experience, and they go on to live, believers do not come to know all things, yet, are given many important and necessary things that prepare them for further revelation through Jesus Christ, even his second coming.) I trust this fragment will be useful. Be it unto you according to your faith.
