But it was awful in a good way; it made me consider what it meant for Deity to die. (Although I thought that Christ didn't see corruption. The spices would have kept his body okay for three days).
Yes.
(Although I thought that Christ didn't see corruption. The spices would have kept his body okay for three days).
Well, unless we presume that His body entered some kind of inter-dimensional stasis whilst in the Tomb, I think we have to suppose that Natural Law did apply and there was some cellular degeneration during the three days prior to Resurrection, but I'm sure that the Body of Christ didn't "see corruption" in the sense of actual flesh-rot or anything like that. Beyond that, though, I'm not too worried about just how precisely we have to take the Psalm 16:9-10 -- "Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth: my flesh also shall rest in hope. For thou wilt not leave my soul in hell; neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption"; I don't have any expertise as to what extent Hebrew burial spices actually retarded cellular degeneration -- but considering that within three days His Glorified Body could be touched, felt, could consume food and yet walk through walls if He felt so inclined, the matter doesn't bother me overmuch anyway.
best, OP
