Apologetics 301 Guidelines

If you think this is the area where you tell everyone you are sorry for eating their lunch out of the fridge, it probably isn't the place for you


This forum is open discussion between atheists and all theists to defend and debate their views on religion or non-religion. Please respect that this is a Christian-owned forum and refrain from gratuitous blasphemy. VERY wide leeway is given in range of expression and allowable behavior as compared to other areas of the forum, and moderation is not overly involved unless necessary. Please keep this in mind. Atheists who wish to interact with theists in a way that does not seek to undermine theistic faith may participate in the World Religions Department. Non-debate question and answers and mild and less confrontational discussions can take place in General Theistics.

        Semantics Darth. A reanimated corpse is a resurrected corpse. But by what name you want to apply to the risen saints is irrelevant. They were many, they were dead and buried, and they all climbed out of their graves fully intact and strolled into town. The question is do you believe that long dead and buried people climbed out of their graves and walked about town? And if so, why was such a remarkable story, as CP put it, not told by Mark, Luke or John?

          It's also blasphemy when referring to Christ, so Jim better be careful.

            Well, now I see the problem you have CP, you consider the above to be uncivil. Perhaps you can explain?

                You know full well it's not. You allegedly grew up in Christianity. There is no reasonable person who grew up in Christianity who would label the resurrected ones zombies.

                  No. You can reanimate a corpse by attaching robot limbs to it and having it move around. It would be a reanimated corpse and a zombie but it would not be resurrected (and a resurrected corpse is an oxymoron anyway, once you are resurrected you are not a corpse, you are a living being).

                  The difference is like the difference between accusing you of having sex with children and accusing you of having sex with your wife.
                  "As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. O my people, they which lead thee cause thee to err, and destroy the way of thy paths." Isaiah 3:12

                  There is no such thing as innocence, only degrees of guilt.

                        Likening the resurrection body to zombification is misinformed at best and dishonest at worst.

                          Given his alleged upbringing, the first option is right out.

                              Matthew 27:53 "They came out of their tombs and entered into the holy city, and appeared to many." As far as the 500 witnesses is concerned, It's been a while, I confused that with Pauls assertion that 500 people witnessed the resurrected Jesus, which btw is, in my opinion, another screwball claim that doesn't appear in any of the gospels.

                                Yes, but we are not talking robotic limbs.

                                Yes, once resurrected you would no longer be a corpse, you'd be a resurrected corpse, aka a living being.
