Jesus’ body would have been rotting meat had he not been who he said he was.

If a dead human body is just rotting meat, it doesn't matter who its "owner" was, or who he claimed to be, etc. Unless perhaps you think that Jesus' body was something other than human. Going down that path will quickly lead you to the heresy of Docetism (Jesus was truly divine, but his humanity was more-or-less an illusion).

Romans 8: the redemption (Paul says "redemption", not "replacement") of our bodies. What are you going to do with it?

Plenty of Catholic saints' bodies are incorrupt, BTW.

True. Unless, of course, it was Jesus - or Laserus.

BTW, I believe all believers are “the saints”.

I do believe there is even a book on such a subject.

Naw. Some are just “less” corrupt. They would not look too good if they were re-animated.
