I may be missing your point, but you are therefore missing mine. Mine is that the origins of the myth had zero to do with a god resurrection. Resurrections were not only of gods, since the Elisha resurrection was not of a god. Must have been a shekel a dozen. Jesus would not have been considered a god, and certainly not God, by his Jewish followers. They originated the resurrection myth. God/god attribution/apotheosis came later. What am I missing? Sorry if I'm being dense, please explain it.
