The Semi-resurrection of Jesus
December 7, 2011 at 9:33 pm
Christian tradition believes that Jesus appeared to some of his followers after his death. But what kind of creature is this who like humans can be touched and yet can pass through walls. Jesus here is presented as some sort of a weird hybrid--a cross between a human being and a ghost. I guess that only part of Jesus rose from the dead to appear to his disciples!
Furthermore, Jesus was thought to ended up in the realm of the blessed dead as if Jesus died and went to heaven but made some pit stops on the way when he only appeared to his disciples.

In any fish story, the fish never gets smaller with each re-telling.

Fictional characters can do anything...they JUST had him walking through walls and still be physical?

Jesus cast "Etherealness" which is a 7th level Cleric Spell. He was a high enough level Cleric to be able to cast it so that much is believable. By shifting to the ethereal plane, Jesus became incorporeal and could walk though the wall, as the wall didn't actually exist as an ethereal object. He then shifted back to the Prime Material Plane where he could be touched.
