● Acts 1:1-3 . . The first account I composed, Theophilus, about all that Jesus
began to do and teach, until the day when he was taken up, after he had by the
Holy Spirit given orders to the apostles whom He had chosen. To these he also
presented himself alive, after his suffering, by many convincing proofs, appearing
to them over a period of forty days.
Some of those "convincing proofs" were:
Jesus' resurrection retained indications of the injuries he received on the cross.
(John 20:27)
His resurrection was a physical form, i.e. it could be handled and it could be seen
with the naked eye. (Matt 28:8-9, Luke 24:39-40, John 20:27)
His resurrection experienced hunger, and was capable of dining upon ordinary
foods. (Luke 24:41-42)
A pretty large percentage of folks identifying themselves as Christians in our day
accept those proofs, but not all are in agreement as to the properties of his
resurrection.
Some insist Jesus' crucified dead body was restored to life as it was, while others
insist it was restored to life with miraculous improvements, and yet others insist
Jesus' crucified dead body wasn't restored to life at all, i.e. it's still dead; and his
remains are squirreled away somewhere on the earth in a condition, and a location,
known only to God. In other words, in some people's opinion: Jesus' resurrection
was in the form of a spirit being instead of a physical being.
