I think I'd like clarification of the following:

Wouldn't wound or scars of wounds necessarily be an imperfection? And isn't a perfect body with imperfections a contradiction?

Magus55

No, because the wounds aren't imperfections in His case. They are symbols of the perfect sacrifice.

A spiritual body able to walk through walls? That’s the same thing near-death experiencers report: that they are in some kind of ethereal body and that they can pass through doors and walls. So Jesus is not so unique after all...

Magus55

During our ressurection, we gain glorified bodies too that can do much of what Jesus can.

Heathen Dawn

You missed the point of what I was saying: near-death experiencers are not resurrected, but they report the same thing that Jesus allegedly did in his spiritual body (walking through walls). This means that Jesus probably materialised in a spiritual body, which is what happens to every person who dies the physical death.

I have no problem with Jesus rising from the dead; I just say it doesn’t make him God.

Magus55

The Bible makes it quite clear that Jesus is God. The descriptions of Yahweh in the OT, and Jesus in the NT, are exact. I know you don't believe in Christianity or Jesus, but Jesus was God, and He rose in His physical body. A purely spiritual ressurection is a heresy.

It can't be proven if jesus' body is on earth or not, or if it ever was on earth.

sharon45

The bible does not make quite clear that jesus was god, you are only thinking this, if you like stating opinions, that is fine, but as with your attitude, you state it as a fact, so please back up the statement.

As to the real connection between the OT and the NT, again you state this like a fact, once again, please show where this is located.

These statements that you have made are very offensive to 10s of millions of people, it would be nice to really be able to back these up, or at least insist they are of your own opinion or only according with christian beliefs.

Side Note --
Speaking of "ideas with no Biblical Support", we're *still* waiting for Biblical support for your apocalypse ideas.

Sorry, I just had to interject a bit of reality into the requisite "Let's bash the Catholics for doing things we do ourselves, especially since they do it better and more consistently" session. Carry on.

Well, there aren't many Atheists who would disagree with that statement....
