If I saw a vision of my Uncle Ben, couldn’t he technically be considered the son of God too?

Only partly.

It was the Holy Spirit coming into the early Church at Pentecost and after that enabled Christianity to grow and develop.

Without the power of the Holy Spirit, the story of Jesus Christ would have just faded into history.

With love in Christ.

It wasn't just a vision of Jesus--rather, He was bodily resurrected from the dead. Jesus wasn't just an apparition. It was obvious in Luke 24 and John 20 that Jesus had a physical form after His resurrection. Your vision of your Uncle Ben would just be considered a hallucination. More than 500 people at one time saw Jesus (1 Corinthians 15:3-9), and if there had been any debate over the fact of Jesus' resurrection, certainly any one of them could've chimed in with contrary details. But they apparently didn't. I've got an analysis of the reality of the resurrection at the first link below.

There are several reasons why Christians believe that Jesus was resurrected or raised back to life.

We should be baptized in imitation of the death, burial and resurrection of our Lord (Rom. 6:1-6; Col. 2:12; 1 Pet. 3:21).

We ought to feel great joy, because his resurrection gives us hope (Mt. 28:8; Jn. 20:20; Rom. 6:9).

His tomb was empty and the body had not simply been stolen away. (Acts 2:29; Mt. 28:13).

There were many witnesses who saw Jesus alive after the resurrection (Acts 2:32; Jn. 20:27-28; 1 Cor. 15:4-7).

Christianity became a religion the moment God's plan was completed in his great conception of the fellowship of man and God. He purposed all things to happen just as they have and just as they are and when Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead it was only a part of what God has planned.
That is why we can see that people saw parts of the plan ages before it happened, because they were seeing through God's eyes who already knows the end and all things that have happened in between.

Jesus asked his disciples to bear in mind the day of his dying, yet no such request became made up of his resurrection. additionally, see Ecclesiastes 7:a million (NLT)- "a sturdy attractiveness is greater helpful than the costliest physique spray. contained in the comparable way, the day you die is larger than the day you're born." here couple of verses bypass directly to describe why. besides, no remember if or no longer we get a resurrection relies upon on what occurs before dying. while it contains Jesus, his earthly existence and dying had greater to do with the outworking of God's will than his resurrection did. think of of this- if Jesus had succumbed to one among devil's temptations, would he have been resurrected after his dying? would his dying have had any meaning to us in any respect? It became his dying as a sinless individual that made each and all of the adaptation!
