Within a few minutes of death the brain becomes so damaged as to be incapable of sustaining most higher functions. A few more minutes and it can’t communicate with other parts of the body. A few hours later the neurons that physically contract the muscles will break down. After this the body cannot, through its own power, move or maintain any functions.
The story goes that Jesus was dead for (conservatively) nearly 48 hours. Under normal conditions, even with refrigeration, the brain is now mush and the neurons are now gone. The process of decomposition has progressed to such an extent coming back is impossible. And we’re not talking about best case, this is long enough to start to stink. Hell, at this point insects should have showed up.
So, did Jesus decompose prior to his resurrection? If so, how did he resurrect? If not, why not?
It depends on the temp of the tomb.. In that region you do not have to go very far down to be in the 60s or 70s then also remember Jesus by his mother and the other marry gave him full funerary prep which would have included mer oils and herbs to help stave off decomposition.
