Mr. passwordprotected.
This is probably in my top 5 of ridiculous things I've read on this forum. Was Jesus raised from the dead "symbolically and figuratively"?
I am explaining nothing in this forum about resurrection.
While I am explaining nothing, nothing is funnier than you conclude that "it is ridiculous."
The Bible is described like this.
“When anyone is replying to a matter before he hears [it], that is foolishness on his part and a humiliation.”
PROVERBS 18:13 (NWT)
