How is what happened to him any different than when someone falls into an icy pond and comes to the hospital clinically dead only to be revived soon after?

What's the difference between being "dead" for 1 hour and being "dead" for 3 days? In each case they never really died permanently.

He did eventually die, but not as the bible says. He died at age 63, near Ludsgate in what we now called England.

Resurrection isn't just revival or living again (Lazarus for example was not resurrected). Resurrection means living again in perfect, glorified, immortal form that is no longer subject to sickness or death.
In Christian theology, Christ was the first to be resurrected, so actually it is considered possible that there have been full on resurrections (though much less recorded) since then.

JESUS died and resurrected on the 3rd day and now is sitting at the right hand of the FATHER making intecession for you an I today.
HE Lives and is alive and well. We will all one day bow down to him like or not. The trumpet is ready to blow, are you ready to meet your maker, real soon.

You don`t really read the Gospels I think!, Jesus was dead for three days and was ressurected again, it`s not quite the same thing as falling into a pond and being resusitated after a short time.

It is different because Jesus really did die. If you read the Bible is says that they pierced His side and out came blood and water separated, which only occurs when someone is totally dead.

Jesus died in His life as a earthly man. He suffered all points of pain. He descended into the lower parts of the earth which is hell. He rose again, was witnessed alive by many hundreds of people who gave account, and is alive today. Read, understand, and believe your Bible. PEACE!!!

There was no ice, and HE came back to life three days after HE died, that is how it is different.

Let's see, He was flogged, beaten, forced to carry a cross, crucified, had a spear thrust through his heart, and while in this poor condition, instead of being cared for, was put into a cold dark tomb for three days. If He didn't die, it would have been a bigger miracle than if He resurrected.

I've read about ancient crucifixions and it often took people three days to die and given that Jesus was only crucified for less than one day it's possible he might have survived.
