Ok, ASSUMING that Jesus Christ was real, the messiah, and actually was resurrected after his death, do you believe that his resurrection was spiritual or physical. I beleive it was physical, because really thats what I have been thought over the years. In fact, i never had heard the spiritual resurrection theory until tonight.

So what do you think? feel free to cite scripture and so forth

Physical.

"Reach here your finger, and see My hands; and reach here your hand, and put it into My side; and be not unbelieving, but believing," (John 20:27).

Yeah thats what I said. the whole ordeal with Thomas kinda seems like it would prove the phsyical resurrection.

Physical, he never died on the cross. Though the church does not want you to know that. ;)

I believe he was faking death.

Well, it's undoubtedly spiritual, since there's *NO* corroboration of aftereffects after getting out of supporter Josephus' tomb.
Besides, the physical thing is gonna come around soon enough, since Michael Crichton is spending copious republican-snagged tax dollars on extracting DNA from the Shroud of Turin. Ever since, of course, his attempt to extract same from amberised proto-mosquitos hasn't turned up much just yet, so you may have to wait until this and the next generation is already dead.
