think about the way Jesus is portrayed in the different gospels? I think Jesus is portrayed as a righteous man who has a lot of power and influence. In the Gospels Jesus is also portrayed as God.

There would be not any. This is why the resurrection is a necessary element of the gospel. In addition‚ basically declare that the resurrection take place would
