I so hesitate to wade in on this debate as I honestly have never heard whether or not the resurrection was indeed a miracle ever questioned. I have always considered everything God has done a miracle. Father Corapi has said that God breathed only one word and that Word is Jesus and from this Word everything came into being. Everything that is except the Triune God. Certainly the creation of the heavens and earth along with everything in it is miraculous. Which is why His revealed Word is so much more infinite that just the words contained in the Bible. A miracle by its definition is a super natural happening which cannot be explained in human words and understanding. Some definitions refer to it as an Act of God. In light of this, there can be no doubt that the resurrection was in fact an Act of God and therefore a miracle. It is pointless to try to defend otherwise and it is most likely that it was said in haste or without thought as to the implications or repercussions. Much like when one poster here claimed that it is a miracle that Jesus was/is sinless. That is no miracle, but rather the very nature of God.

THis was your post. And I answered that post with this post:

It’s called the faith OF Christ. Not faith IN Christ, which is what we possess. There is a difference. The death, buriel and resurrection happened because of the faith OF Christ. You probably never heard about that in your church.

I'm sorry for any confusion. But I wondered if you had ever heard the faith OF Christ in your church? And the death, buriel and resurrection of Christ is the perfect place to show it to you.

Explain where in my post I said anything about faith?

And please, explain what is the faith OF Christ?

I admitted in my post that I have only heard of the faith IN Christ and am perplexed by what you mean. Explain and I can respond.

It will have to be at a later time though as I am done here tonight.
