Other resurrected persons (i.e.Lazarus) subsequently died again and have stayed dead. I think the point is that Jesus was no mere mortal - it is his divinity that is distinctive. Machavity is right in pointing out that only God could have raised Jesus from the dead. And Jesus also had the power to raise people from the dead (i.e. Lazarus). Wonder how any mere mortal could have done that. Hmmm.... | |

But God was very clear; "even if the sign or portent that he named to you comes true" (13:3) and the resurrection served to be just that: "... teacher we wish to see a sign from you...just as Jonah was three days and three nights in the belly of the great fish, aso will the Son of Man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth" (Matthew 12:38-40). Why is the resurrection any different? By what standard? | |
