Paul: spiritual or physical resurrection?

[yeshuafreak]

Yes we are bound by those dimensions but the things a God who transcends them does are bound to be called "miracles" by us. In 4+ space time dimensions a person (such as the risen Jesus) could without breaking any physical laws, walk through walls, for instance.

there are no such things as "miracles". There are miraculous things, but they are not miracles.

and i really dont want to dbate the science behind all this.

I'm not going to decide that. But when Paul, discussing salvation, said in Romans 10:9
if you confess with your mouth, "Jesus is Lord," and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. he was clearly talking about a physical raising.

well than ill decie: if i take your reasoning, i do not fit the criteria the bible sets forth to be saved. since you believe in a hell, that means I am going to it unless God in his mercy (which you also believe in) decides for some reason that I was decieved and it would be just to send me to heaven.

and as for what paul believed: sometimes, the best interpretations of a work are misinterpretations. in fact, some things have to be intentionally misinterpreted so that they contain relevance for a new age.

Wow. I disagree. But I don't want to get into that on this thread.
