Mike is correct, which is why Slick is wrong.
Paul emphasizes that the resurrected body is more than just flesh and bone. It has different properties; it is transphysical (as Wright puts it). It can do things a normal body cannot.

Actually If I am reading this article right
https://carm.org/jesus-resurrection-was-physical
Slick is saying the same thing we are just emphasizing that its the same body to counter the teaching that jesus only rose spiritually. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong because it was a quick read for me but I got the sense slick agrees its a transphysical body with the raising and transforming of Jesus' physical body. Perhaps thats what Tabibito meant as wellLast edited by Mikeenders; 09-08-2015, 07:05 PM.

I do acknowledge that there is a difference between resurrection from the dead as applies to Christians who have died, and resurrection from the dead such as Lazarus experienced.
So the question arises as to whether Jesus' resurrection was the same as that of Lazarus, or whether it was the same as that of the resurrected Christian.
What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37 And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.
And I don't think it a viable theory that the Christian's pre-death body is re-animated.
What would make it necessary for Jesus to have a super-normal body upon resurrection? There is nothing to indicate that he did anything after his resurrection that was not fully within his capabilities prior to his death.Last edited by tabibito; 09-08-2015, 07:08 PM.1Cor 15:34 Come to your senses as you ought and stop sinning; for I say to your shame, there are some who know not God.

Some speculations about the resurrection body make me wonder if the speculators read too many comic books. Because one guy(Randy Alcorn, Heaven) speculated that we may be able to see really far away and see really tiny stuff up close. Now, does that sound familiar?If it weren't for the Resurrection of Jesus, we'd all be in DEEP TROUBLE!

I have no problem with your definition. But you are agreeing that conservative Christians are asserting that a dead body was reanimated, correct? The reanimated physical body may have been infused with some new supernatural powers, but it was still the same body.

John 20:26, "A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, 'Peace be with you!'"
Jesus could enter through a locked door?

Ok, Stein, so do we now agree on what resurrection is: the reanimation of a dead body that has been infused with supernatural/divine qualities. I assume you believe that Jesus had the power prior to his crucifixion to do everything he could do after his crucifixion, so his powers did not change, only the "humanness" of his body. Jesus no longer needed to eat, drink, or eliminate, although he could do so if he chose to (such as eating broiled fish), nor would his resurrected body become sick. But it was the same body and the dead tissue had been revived (reanimated) to life.
Ok, that settled, Stein: Show me where my position on any issue related to the early Christian belief in Jesus Resurrection is contrary to the overwhelming majority scholarly opinion. And if you cannot, why do I need to read more Christian scholars' books if my positions are not out of the mainstream? What exactly am I going to learn by reading more scholarly books? Isn't the real reason you want me to read more books is that you will not be satisfied that I am sufficiently informed on this subject until I have adopted your conclusion that a bodily resurrection/reanimation really did occur in first century Palestine??
My position on the early Christian BELEIF in a resurrection is not outside of NT scholarship. It is my conclusion regarding the historicity of the event itself that you don't like; a conclusion that is shared by every living non-Christian NT scholar.Last edited by Gary; 09-08-2015, 07:28 PM.

thats how i have read it anyway.
