None of the early Christian creeds ever claim a flesh and blood resurrected Jesus was on Earth, as opposed to making guest appearances.

Nor can Paul find one single detail of eyewitness testimony to answer the question of what a resurrected body was like to write to Christian converts who had converted and still scoffed at the idea that their god would choose to raise corpses.

Paul tells them flat-out that Jesus became a spirit, using that well-known phrase that Habermas always quotes in his lectures on the resurrection.

My resurrection debate blog is open to all comers.

Paul of course does know that the flesh and blood body of Jesus is dead and buried.
