I know it's stupid to ask how God would do something because it's way too complex. But do you think God had the entire quantum layer rigged from the beginning of space-time for Jesus' resurrection? Did God reanimate the same cells or produce new ones?

I saw a video of a partical physicist saying that Jesus' body probably became like an event horizon around a black hole where space-time starts to break away, because his resurrection marked the path to eternity, and that's how he left the negative image on the Turin Shroud.

Did the resurrection change anything on a micro scale? I've heard Freemasons talk about these things, I was wondering if actual Christians have any answers about the Resurrection. I don't hear it talked about much even though it's the most important event in history.

It is established fact that the cells in a person's body are not constant through their life. So exactly where the cells came from could be anywhere, but I don't believe God ever creates something out of nothing.



As you said, it's not like we can really know for sure at this point. But I don't think reanimation itself is particularly mysterious. You basically just have to get energy going again in the right ways.



Obviously the biggest and most important element would be to return the spirit into the body, so that you have restored the body to life.

There we go looking into man's ideas. God's thoughts are higher than men and we will never know what Jehovah and Jesus know when it comes to science or the miracle of the resurrection of Jesus. We could never comprehend how Jehovah caused his only-begotten Son to be miraculously conceived and born as a human. Luke 1:30-33 All we know is that God used his holy spirit to change a spirit person into a human. God also used his holy spirit to raise Jesus as a spirit person again. Faith helps us to not question Jehovah about how he does what he does. It really is not necessary to understand how holy spirit works but we are told why Jehovah does what he does and why we need to obey his laws and the consequences we pay when we disobey him.

If we put our neurons to work, some insights may surface, right? A fish has a body that suits its watery environment. Humans have bodies suited for the earth environment, and spirit beings have bodies suited for the spirit realm. That´s why the spirit creature referred to as the Word, Jesus in his pre-human existence, had to become flesh to reside on earth.



John 1:14

So the Word became flesh and resided among us...



1 Cor 15:37-40

And as for what you sow, you sow, not the body that will develop, but just a bare grain, whether of wheat or of some other kind of seed; 38 but God gives it a body just as it has pleased him, and gives to each of the seeds its own body. 39 Not all flesh is the same flesh, but there is one of mankind, there is another flesh of cattle, another flesh of birds, and another of fish. 40 And there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies; but the glory of the heavenly bodies is one sort, and that of the earthly bodies is a different sort.



Verses 44-45

It is sown a physical body; it is raised up a spiritual body. If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual one. 45 So it is written: “The first man Adam became a living person.”* The last Adam became a life-giving SPIRIT.



Consequently, Jesus couldn´t be resurrected to the spirit heavens in the same fleshly body he had on earth when he was a human. After all, flesh and blood are not suited for God´s Kingdom. (1 Cor 15:50) Accordingly, the Bible makes clear that he was put to death "in the flesh" but resurrected "in the spirit." (1Pe 3:18) Yes, on being resurrected Jesus received a spiritual body.



Likewise, Christ´s brothers, Christians with a heavenly hope, "spiritually begotten as “God’s children,” are promised a resurrection like his. (Re 17:14; Ro 6:5; 8:15, 16; Heb 2:11) The apostle Peter writes to fellow Christians: “Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, for according to his great mercy he gave us a new birth to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, to an incorruptible and undefiled and unfading inheritance. It is reserved in the heavens for you.”—1Pe 1:3, 4.



Peter also describes the hope such ones possess as “precious and very grand promises, that through these you may become sharers in divine nature.” (2Pe 1:4) They must undergo a change of nature, giving up human nature to obtain “divine” nature, thus sharing with Christ in his glory. They must die a death like Christ’s—maintaining integrity and giving up human life forever—and then they receive immortal, incorruptible bodies like Christ’s by a resurrection. (Ro 6:3-5; 1Co 15:50-57; 2Co 5:1-3) The apostle Paul explains that it is not the body that is resurrected, but rather, he likens their experience to the planting and sprouting of a seed, in that “God gives it a body just as it has pleased him.” (1Co 15:35-40) It is the soul, the person, that is resurrected, with a body to suit the environment into which God resurrects him."

The exact physical body of Jesus was not resurrected. Otherwise, there would have been no sacrifice.



The Bible says his physical body died and he was later resurrected as a Spirit.



◄ 1 Peter 3:18 ►

Christ suffered for our sins once for all time. He never sinned, but he died for sinners to bring you safely home to God. He suffered physical death, but he was raised to life in the Spirit.

There is a significant amount of evidence in the bible itself that shows Jesus survived his relatively gentle crucifixion with the help of fast thinking Nicodemus and J.Aramithea.



In all 3 gospels, Jesus is clearly not in shock. Patient is coherent, able to walk and speak, and is situationally aware. Also, no signs of suffocation on cross - is able to make lengthy orations well into the evening. Showed no signs of confusion. Was not irritable or combative. Thus, blood loss is very minimal - surface lesions only. A class 1 hemorrhage at most.



Soldier did not break legs - survival rate guaranteed. Can live for 7 more days in this condition. Even Pilate knows this for he is surprised to hear that he is ''dead so soon''. So surprised that he sends a sentry to confirm as he is in total disbelief.



The flowage of blood from the wound - a sign the body is still alive - it is not yet dead. Also flowage of water - most likely urine from stabbing the kidney - another sign that the nervous system is still intact. In quick succession, Aramithea pleads with Pilate for Jesus's body shortly after losing consciousness and moves him briskly to a tomb upon which we see Nicodemus arrive to treat the body with a peculiar mix of myrrh and aloe - a salve that stops mortal bleeding. But thats not all that was peculiar - the sheer amount of it was extraordinary - about 100 pounds was used. And he did it during the night of the Sabbath when no work was to be performed. John 19:39.



After his resuscitation, we see Mary not recognizing him - most likely from all the bandages and edema (swelling of body tissues after trauma). She also mistakes him for a lowly garden caretaker and not an obvious angelic being of light, much less, as someone who has just been *resurrected*. And then we see Jesus in hiding as he walks incognito to Emmaus alongside Cloepas and appears to be spotted for very brief moments in spurious locations by some disciples. When he finally does visit, doors and windows are shut out of fear and trepidation rather than rejoicing. In Luke 24:39, he tells the stunned apostles that he is not a ghost but is a real human with flesh and bones. He then tells them he is hungry and promptly asks for food upon which he is given some leftovers. Luke 24:41-43.



This clandestine-like activity recorded in the gospels is typical of a fugitive who is attempting to evade recapture.



His actual survival of crucifixion - unheard of in 1st century Rome - became the basis for the legend celebrated on Easter and influenced a great deal of people - one in particular named Paul of Tarsus who may have actually met Jesus in person on the road to Damascus - complete with holes in both hands and feet and a large gaping scar under his ribs.

That is why he is God and you are not. We do not know how he made humans. A lower life form.



Taking Jesus as a spirit creature and transferring his esscense into a human embryo is more impressive and totally beyond our comprehension.

He went back into his spirit body just as the spirit person did during the flood. Without a flesh and blood body it is a spirit person can fly or move through the Universe. Job 1: tells how SAtan came back and forth between earth and heavens

He reanimated a badly damaged cadaver with the help of his good friend, the God of the Muslims.



Why else do you think that even to this day, magicians perform their dazzling feats of the IMPOSSIBLE by saying a modern version of the ancient spell---



"Allah -cadaver!"

We don't know. We presume there is no scientific explanation any more than there is for any unrepeatable event or spiritual phenomena.
