There lacks a universal consensus regarding the nature of Jesus Christ's
resurrection.
Some believe that his crucified body was restored to its former life.
Others believe that his crucified body was exchanged for a glorified body.
Still others believe that Christ's crucified body is still dead, and its remains
squirreled away somewhere on earth in a condition and a location known
only to God.
It's also believed by some that Christ didn't come back as a human being;
rather, as a spirit being disguised in a fully functioning human avatar; scars
and all.
This is an issue well worth taking the time and effort to resolve on a world
wide forum because according to Rom 4:25, it's by means of Christ's
resurrection that God is at liberty to grant guilty people a full and complete
acquittal; i.e. exoneration; which is far and away superior to a pardon. For
example:
Former US President Gerald Ford pardoned former US President Richard
Nixon back in 1974 relative to the Watergate scandal. Ford's pardon in no
way exonerated Nixon, it only let him off the hook. Though the pardon
protected Nixon from prosecution; his crimes didn't go away. In other
words: Mr. Nixon will always and forever be on the books of world history
as a crook.
Exoneration-- defined as an adjudication of innocence, which is normally
granted when there is insufficient evidence to convict --is much to be
preferred over a pardon because exoneration leaves nothing on the books; it
wipes people's records so clean and efficiently that there is nothing left that
can in any way be used to prove they've ever been anything less than 100%
innocent. As a result, there will be nothing on the books down at the end
with which to justify condemning them to the lake of brimstone depicted at
Rev 20:10-15.
