Commentary thread - Hakeem vs. Boxing Pythagoras - did Jesus die on the cross?

[Same Hakeem]

Cerebrum123 claiming "The only thing necessary for Jesus to have been truly resurrected was immortality" is true but there is no real proof from the accounts of the New Testament that Jesus was REALLY immortal since no one saw Jesus rising from the dead. To the contrary, Jesus never appeared once to one of his alleged killers of the Jews whereas Jesus himself promise to show them the miracle of Jonah (Matthew 16:4; New Living Translation), which is surviving death, according to the Book of Jonah.

The real test to validate if Jesus really died or did not die at all is if "Christ will be THE FIRST to rise from the dead" according to Acts 26:23. However, Jesus was not the first to rise from the dead according to the Bible. For instance, "the dead bodies of the saints who died and rose from the dead" according to Matthew 27:52. Therefore, Jesus cannot be risen from the dead according to Acts 26:23 and hence did not die at all.

Son of Man will be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Cerebrum123 "The time factor, and the fact that Jesus came out are the points of comparison" is true because Jonah miracle was not for sure resurrection as Jonah was miraclously saved alive inside the fish for three days and three nights.
