Or a more interesting question:
If a immoral being sacrificed its mortal body for something, is that actually a notable sacrifice?
Think of it this way: Trump sacrifices a nice car for something. He has the ability to buy 5,000 identical ones. Is his sacrifice notable?

How is that even relevant?
Furthermore, how notable is it for a immortal being to 'sacrifice' itself for a short period of time when it cannot die?

However, a resurrection cannot be deemed for a very short period - what's the point, its such a cruel anti-climax, and does not become a significant factor for a Messiah to get resurrected - the big deal is that the mortal, every day sinner types beform this feat, as per Isaiah
Your constant failure to address my points is getting quite annoying.
How is a sacrifice notable when the being making the sacrifice has unlimited power, including the power to die a billion times and revive himself a billion?

This is not so far fetched scientifically. Recent news in Australia is, it is possible to bring back ancient dinosaurs via dna in their fossils, and that genes of extinct Tasmanian canines have already been produced.
Neither of which are resurrection of the original animal. A more accurate would be the instance of Zombie dogs.

quote:
The book of Ezekiel mentions the resurrection via bones, which generate flesh and organs, and live again. Such re-generation is now also performed in organ growth stem cells. It appears more science than sci-fi, and the OT writings becoming less mythical.
Again your constant failure to address my points is bothersome.
Deal with the question asked to you, not something you made up yourself.

Re: WAS JC REAL?
How the HELL is that even relevant to my question?
