A man died on the cross, and came back to life, and ascended into heaven intact. Please correct me if wrong.

I know ya'll know what real 'evidence' would mean.

If there were claims of something like that today (and there are many, many incredible claims these days), what would you require to believe it to be true?

1st hand reports by eye-witnesses written down within a short time of when it happened. No more than a few years, tops. 2nd hand sources like Josephus ("People say this happened before I was born") wouldn't be considered proof.

Interestingly, you don't apply that level of logic to the Jesus story, tho.

Well, to each their own, I guess.

Not to mention, even first-hand reports many times are not proof of truth. Unless you believe in the Alien Abductions, stories of a missle shooting down that jetliner that crashed, 9/11 was caused by Bush, and on, and on.

I was raised Roman Catholic. But it was you folks, saying things like this that I know to be untrue ("Stories written down 30+ years after the events are proof that it happened!"), that drove me away from Christianity entirely.

Jesus had a Body of Flesh and Blood that was Crucified he died a physical death, but when resurrected he had a Body of Flesh and Bone!

We live in a corporal body subject to the Laws of this dimension!

Have you studies the New Testament? Jesus lives in an eternal place and the body never dies nor is subject to the elements here as we are!

1 Tim 3
16 And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory.
