What? No, if it's 'just made up' then we can know everything about it becaues it only exists in our made-up.
If it's part of reality, then we need to use a scientific (or substitute) approach to figure out how it works, what causes it, what color it is, what implications...

Zombie: a dead body that has been brought back to life by a supernatural force.

Much simpler to just say Jesus is a zombie.

Yeah Zombie Jesus I am loving it.
he wouldn't be a zombie. Remember how you guys say that we are just making stuff up about God? Well, a zombie is only a zombie because we humans made that definition of a zombie, but we truly don't know what a zombie truly is since it's just made up.

jesus would not have been all green and disgusting looking after being in the tomb from about 6 PM Friday night to 6 AM Sunday morning. Jesus would still look like Himself.

Nice try trying to assign the "human definition and description" of a zombie to an eternal God.
But why would someone paint a picture of Jesus as a green zombie unless it was so?

ETA: It's simple if you assume Jesus painted it . . .

I propose that if I said anything more than this about such a stupid OP that I would get myself in trouble.

Hey i thought you just said we just made it up? Since we do not know what a zombie truly is (since they are magical and all that) but it is the exact term of the walking dead. Zombie. You on the other hand give jesus a free pass and try to call him anything but which he would of been. But then giving a human definition and description is also what you fail to do repeatedly for what is a god. And if eternal then theat corpse uit is inhabiting is probably going to stink in a couple of days regaurdless of you defining a zombie...i mean god diffrenetly. Or is the concept of zombie so repulsive you cant see your own special magic superhero is just exactly what you said he is. Made up. Zombies are made up ergo than anyone who is a zombie by definition is made up.

I think this was an attempt by S-M to distract people away from the "free will in heaven" thread The forum equivalent of going "Look! Over there! A kitten!"

It failed. Again.

Jesus is more of a superhero who became a zombie. Since becoming a zombie he hasn't done shit.

Jesus would not have been green or discolored in any way. You are essentially saying that:

"God, in his infinite wisdom, could create the entire universe and planets and souls, but can't figure out a way to make Jesus stop from turning green after about 36 hours in the tomb." :huh:

How long after?

What date was he resurrected?
If you're asserting Jesus wrote the gospels, could you please answer these two questions?

Thanks.
