::::Andy, what exactly is your argument that there was a "flash of light which necessarily accompanied the Resurrection"? Did you simply decide that that's how you envisioned it, so it "necessarily" happened that way? Or do you actually have some reason for thinking there *had* be such a flash? (I like to imagine Jesus having dreadlocks, because that would have looked really cool. Does that mean I can infer that Jesus necessarily had dreadlocks?) What's the reason that Jesus couldn't simply have stood up, without any massive flash of light? How on earth can you claim to know what rules "necessarily" apply to events that are, by definition, miraculous?? What makes such things (allegedly) miracles is that they don't follow the normal rules. 01:00, 28 December 2015 (EST) | ::::Andy, what exactly is your argument that there was a "flash of light which necessarily accompanied the Resurrection"?
