Between the Old and New Testaments, how many Zombies get created.?

Question

It is almost like "The Night of The Living Dead," considering all the deceased people they have wandering around.

Matthew 9:18,19,23-25
Luke 7:11-15
John 11:1,4-7,14,15,17,19-27,32-44
Matthew 27:51-53
Those are just Zombie making in the new testament, for the bible believers who know absolutely nothing about their religion.

Answer 1

I think that there are obvious differences in the comparisons between someone God resurrected and what we might call a Zombie.

George Romero notwithstanding, a resurrected person is better than they were. God raises people uncorrupted and incorruptable, living, and capable of doing things they might not have been able to do before.

Zombies are dead people who walk around and devour living people. Their flesh is dead, and they might have maggots. If you see a person who you know had died, and they have maggots, then it is a zombie. Zombies also may have missing limbs, eyes, and various other body parts, while resurrected people have none of those parts missing. The rotten smell of death gives away a zombie almost everytime.

If I were walking along the street and I had an encounter with a zombie, it wouldn't be illegal to use a handy sword or other device to hack the zombie to pieces.

If I were mistaken and went after a resurrected person, I would probably be wearing that handy sword somewhere in the vital areas of my person. Not a good thing, not a good mistake to make. I would learn that I need to be better at discerning the differences between zombies and resurrected people, so that I do not make the same mistake again.


I am not a zombie in real life, but I played one in a short film.

Answer 2

definitions of zombie I can find on-line imply that the body has been revived, but not as it was before. The Wikipedia entry says 'devoid of a soul'. Popular depictions of zombies indicate something seriously wrong with the creature.

The stories you point out of people being raised from the dead imply that the person was restored to the state they were in before dying. There is nothing abnormal about them, apart from the fact that they were dead. In fact, the point of including these stories, at least in part, in the Gospels, is as a sign of God's power to give live, which would be shown ultimately in the resurrection of Jesus.

so 'close but no cigar'!

Answer 3

Zero, Jesus being resurrected doesn't count as a sacrifice. If Jesus is God, then he knew he would not stay dead. For the definition of sacrifice to be fulfilled, one has to have the chance at loss. God does not have that luxury.
