Are there any Christians here who believe in zombies?

is this another disguised prebann warning? or can I call you a dumb ass who's over looking the very greek word that describe the resurrected define or rather describe the condition of the people being brought back Ie he doesn't have to describe anything as his literal vocabulary, the same method you douche bags are using to move the goal posts to zombiehood..

No, you can call me whatever you like - I'm a big lad, I can take it.  My point was that Jesus wasn't describing anything in the passage referenced - the dead came out of the graves just when Jesus 'gave up the ghost'.  Jesus isn't speaking in the passage, so he couldn't possibly have been describing anything.

Also, I'm opting for 'mummies' over 'zombies' strictly on the basis of the bodies having been wrapped.

Oh, c'mon Boru, that's simply not fair. You know Drich can't read for shit. Expecting him to understand what the bible actually says is just simply brutally unfair.

And to address his later point, the word resurrect doesn't resolve it for two reasons. First the literal meaning of the word in this passage also means to raise up, so while resurrect may have been the effect, it's not clear simply from the word in what manner they were resurrected. He's engaging in a form of presentism, applying a modern understanding to a historical passage. The second reason is that while to resurrect does in some sense mean to restore vital function to the individual, to die means for the vital functions to permanently cease. (Thank Huggy for pointing this out to me.) So the two words and their usage are not logically consistent, so it would be absurd to claim you can know anything about the status of the vital functions of those raised, as according to usage, they both did have vital function restored, and because they were dead, could not and therefore did not have vital function restored. At least this wasn't simply a mistake attributable to his bollocks level of reading comprehension this time. That's a positive, at least.
