Luk 24:40 "And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them [his] hands and [his] feet."

Luk 24:41 "And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?"

Luk 24:42 "And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb."

too much contradictions and confusion.

Answer 1

No.

Ewwwwwwwwwww!!

Answer 2

We believe in the bodily resurrection. The feeding/touching were proofs of Jesus' own bodily resurrection.
Confusion:
1) The NCAA or NFL rule book makes the Bible look like a kindergarten primer.
2) Checked out the warranty on a new car lately?
3) Asked to read the IRS tax code?
The feeding proof was even set up before hand when Jesus raised a little girl. No ghost here where you could see the food drop down the shute. The very passages you quote are the exact passages which are meant to say Jesus rose bodily.
Note: Jesus ascended into heaven later. Perhaps that is where the "spirit" dilemma comes instead of the resurrection.

Answer 3

Lets put it this way, if he were dead, the food would go thru his body and out the wound were the soldier peirsed him in the side on the cross. But a ressurrected body can eat. Of course, noone as ever met a ressurrected body, or a ressurrected person, have you, so your question is really silly. There has never been any study done on ressurrected people, so we don't know if they need to eat or not. So your question is silly. HE IS NOT A SPIRIT< HE IS ARESURRECTED BEING GET YOUR INFO STRAIGHT. Jesus is the only religious figure, in any religion that was EVER resurrected. Did muhammad come back, no? were is buddah, did he resurrect himself, no.

Answer 4

It is a fact that many who calls them self Christians believes many things not found in the Bible, but i have to admit this one is new to me. I think what they say is that Jesus came back to life from the dead, if he came back to life that could only mean that he was alive and kicking. But the true is that the story as it has been told never happened. Dieing and coming back to life is a metaphor like any thing else in the whole book. Whether the story is fact or fiction should be irrelevant, what is important is the ideas it's putting forth in a very peculiar way. For example, the simple idea behind yours quotes is that should not blindly believe any thing from any body. You should demand a prove or a very convincing argument.

Answer 5

I've never heard that his body was dead. It doesn't say that. And what it says is (not quoting, just memory) they rolled back the rock to the tomb and fond that Jesus was not there. And he had risen from the dead, and no one can explain it, but he got out without moving the rock the only way to explain all this is "The reason he could do it is because he is Jesus!"

Answer 6

It is not complicated. Jesus had to do these things to prove to humanity that it was Him and that He had power over material beliefs (in other words, flesh). To eradicate doubt from their thought, Jesus had them touch Him. To prove He had power over flesh, He asked for food, and proved to them the material body had not life of its own, but was a belief only. Dead bodies don’t eat and flesh is not where Spirit lives. If Jesus had not suffered the belief of materialism, we wouldn’t have been able to see Christ personified or believed His word either. He had to appear in a form that humans could deal with.

Answer 7

You do not want to know the Word Of God, you want to argue it. The Bible Says In Matthew 7:6 Give not that which is holy unto the dogs, neither cast ye your pearls before swine, lest they trample them under their feet, and turn again and rend you.


No matter what answer you receive, you will not except because you want to argue.

Answer 8

The whole point is that he was definitely very much dead, but then he was very much alive after the resurrection. And that is the promise that we have if we believe he has done this for us, that is, that he paid for our sins by his death. If we believe that, then we will also be resurrected. And we will not only be alive, our bodies will be much better, perfect, immortal.
So yes, he was dead. THEN he was alive.

Answer 9

Where do you get the idea that Christians say Jesus' body was dead? I learned that he came back to life. Have you perhaps been listening to some Muslim imam or something?

Answer 10

As a Christian I say that Jesus was human and divine fully both. He, as a fully human LIVE man was put to death at on the CROSS. His BODY died, his Spirit went to Heave. THEN he returned in his HUMAN BODY and SPIRIT, just as before he died. That is the MIRACLE, Jesus did not return as a SPIRIT, he RETURNED FULLY HUMAN just as before, only difference was that he had his scars from being put to death, and when he rose from the dead, DEFEATING DEATH, he was and still is fully ALIVE!

Answer 11

all orthodox Christians believe Jesus physically rose, his body was quite alive

he ate a fish, he could be touched

on the other hand he could appear and dissapear and go into locked houses.... not exactly an ordinary body
