“Consider.... Jesus was seen (by followers) walking around in a Roman province for forty days or thereabouts after he had been crucified. Simple logic dictates that if he had been walking around in a dead body, as some believe, that Romans would have seen him, executed him a second time, and done whatever was necessary to ensure that he STAYED dead the second time. Clearly Jesus was not walking around in a literal and 4real dead body and had no more use for dead bodies than you or I would.” [excerpt]
So you don't believe that God bodily raised Christ from the dead?

I don't mean was Jesus walking around in a dead body, I mean a resurected body.

And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them [his] hands and [his] feet.

And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

And he took [it], and did eat before them.

Luke 24:38-43


What about ‘he stinketh’ Lazarus?

“The best starting point for that sort of thing is still Julian Jaynes' "Origin of Consciousness", and that sort of thing WAS (it no longer occurs) within the bounds of the laws of physics.” [excerpt]
God is outside of the laws of physics He created.

He is not required to operate within them.

If He was, He wouldn't be God.

“If you want violations of physical and mathematical laws and the laws of probability in wholesale lots, you need to talk to the evolosers; they specialize in that kind of thing.” [excerpt]
Ah yes, the violation of the laws physics and logic by non-deities.

If you want dead bodies walking around the religion you want is voodoo and not Christianity.
