What were Jesus and early Christians like?

Many Christians might accept that the resurrection of Jesus was not physical but only spiritual

Huh? I would think the divinity of Jesus would be an essential component to Christianity.

Paul wrote in what is now canonized in the NT that "without a physical resurrection our faith is in vein" or words to that effect. I'm going to search when I have time...

A Christian who believes in the teachings of Jesus but rejects the supernatural (which to me makes no sense considering that most of his teachings were about the afterlife) is an "Atheist Christian".
Atheist Forums Hall of Shame:
"The trinity can be equated to having your cake and eating it too."
...      -Lucent, trying to defend the Trinity concept
"(Yahweh's) actions are good because (Yahweh) is the ultimate standard of goodness. That’s not begging the question"
...       -Statler Waldorf, Christian apologist
