We received a hostile email from someone who referred to
Jesus as a “cosmic Jewish zombie.” This line is one of many used by
skeptics attempting to make our faith sound like a fairy tale, but it
really makes them look foolish. Jesus did come in the flesh as a Jew, so that part is correct. As
for the zombie line, anyone who says that has clearly not taken the
time to look at the vast differences between a zombie and the
resurrected Christ. Zombies are considered to be part of the undead (not
alive), often will-less and speechless bodies that have been reanimated
by spirits. The resurrected Christ is not undead, but alive (Revelation 1:18).
After His Resurrection, He spoke with His followers and taught them
(Luke 24:25–27), reassured them (Luke 24:36–39), and commanded them
(Matthew 28:18–20). He ate food with them (Luke 24:43; John 21:15) and
urged them to touch Him to see that He was not a ghost but truly risen
from the dead bodily (Luke 24:39). He also had a will (John 21:22–23)
and performed miracles (Luke 24:31; John 21:6).
Read our point-by-point response to accusations of being “crazy,” and of “confusing Christians who can’t afford to go to college.”
