So are walking on water, raising others from the dead, feeding hundreds from enough food for a few, coming back from the dead in the first place, global floods, fitting millions of species on a little boat/creating all of today's species from a handful of "kinds" in just a few thousand years, parting seas, turning staffs to snakes, making rivers run with blood, etc...
The buy-bull isn't exactly short on impossibilities.
Well, the coming back form the dead part is of great interest because of the gap in the narrative from expiring on the cross to resurrecting.
Presumably, what was going on in those 'lost hours' was advancing Salvation for the lucky 144,000 somehow.
I don't see how Jesus going club hopping in that interval accomplishes anything salvific. So too if He was in some undefined 'limbo' state. What are we to make of that idea ? Jesus was in a discontinuous or nonconsolidated form ?? I'm picturing an amorphous quantum energy blob outside of the continuum, and that seems rather unBiblical.
So what's left ??
The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.
