So how could anyone have spoken to the resurrected Yeshua when the dead do not rise? By the Bible's own criteria the resurrection story that Paul concocted was pure BS since Yahweh would never, ever, resurrect anyone from the dead because he found that idea to be disgusting.
Leviticus 19:31 (CEV) ="Don’t make yourselves disgusting to me by going to people who claim they can talk to the dead."
Cherry picker, that verses is speaking of spiritualist. mediums and soothsayers. You are a desperate one to try and pull that on the Christians here.

LOL. While, as a former fundie, I can hear the rebuttals: something similar to Jesus was DIFFERENT, Jesus was GOD, Jesus was HOLY, or being completely resurrected, he certainly wasn't dead. Yadda yadda yadda.
Christians HERE? In an Atheist forum? Which ones? There are some that treat people with respect and rarely try to convert, and then there are the loonies - which ones are in your tribe?
But to have any professed "xtian" whine about cherry-picking is PRICELESS.
Do you go to doctors? James 5:14 condemns you. Do you have a wife or daughters that fix their hair, or wear jewelry? Oh dear. 1st Peter 3:3. Do you dress up on occasion? Matthew 6:28-29 Ever given much consideration to Luke 14:26? It literally states that you should hate your family. Or, at least, put Jeebus above them.
What about divorced people? According to Jeebus, they're a whole lot worse than gays. And we certainly hope that you haven't married a divorced woman. Matthew 5:32
Ever done that asshole move, praying in a public restaurant? Not cool. Matthew 6:6 Saved for retirement? Going to hell. Matthew 6:34 Tho' there are a LOT of apologetics associated with that one. There are hundreds like these - returned escaped slaves to their owners yet? But at least we're certain that GC, being a good observant xtian, has given away everything he owns, repeatedly. I mean, that's the linchpin, right? Jesus says this in SO many places . . . Luke 14:33.
Cherry picking. Now THAT's funny.
