B.D. says that he doesn’t like Easter. He said he can’t accept a holiday that celebrates a man coming back from the dead…a feat which he claims could never happen. It’s an impossibility in B.D.’s mind. Nobody could come back from the dead. Dead is dead.
So, I asked him if it’s impossible for a man or for a God? He said for a man. Then, he amended with, “What’s impossible for a god?”
That’s my point exactly. Nothing is impossible for a God. You can’t judge God or His Son by what a man can do. If you do that, then I agree 100% that it’s impossible.
To this, B.D. said that “when you put a god in a man with even the slightest doubt that he will be seen as a man, and [knowing that] a man can do what a man can do,” it’s impossible that Jesus could come back from the dead.
But that thing we know as Jesus was just a vessel. A body. Clothes. Dressing Him up in that body could no more diminish who He was underneath than dressing me up in women’s clothes would diminish that I’m still a man underneath. God was still underneath the “clothes” of Jesus, therefore so was His ability and power.
