If you return to life and hang out with your buddies on fishing trips were you ever really dead?I've never understood this argument. Of course, we haven't seen anyone come back from the dead before, so this is harder to argue, but, according to the account, Jesus was whipped, carried a cross through Jerusalem, suffocated on the cross, and was stabbed in the side. This usually is pretty effective at killing people.
Three days later, he came back, or so it is written, with holes in his hands and feet. Is his crucifixion somehow nullified because he's breathing again?
If a scar heals, does it mean that you were never scarred?
