Resurrection in the NT

[Yeshua1]

Last comment first, James. I don't know you personally, but I suppose you are probably, from what I have read from you previously, a pretty decent person. With that in mind - if you really do want a discussion on this - don't write about me "ranting". That is merely perjorative. And I am not trying to back anyone in the corner. From my perspective you are already in a corner. (Of course, you would say the same for me).

Let's be respectful. The topic is a good one. There is no reason why the discussion can't be either.

Please consider these two quotes from you:
1. "Christ's resurection is exactly the same as ours."
2. "But scripture says that Christ raised Himself from the dead. Nowhere are we told that we raise ourselves."

And yet you do not concede the point that these two resurrections are not exactly the same?

Jesus was raised up in the SAME physical body that he died on the Cross in, and his body was still fleah and bones, but was in a glorified state, and we will have a physical resurrected body as he now as, and we will forever see him with those nail scarred hands...
