Was the Resurrection a true, literal and physical event?

[Zzyzx]

.
Goose and Zzyzx have agreed to debate the topic of the truth of the resurrection.

Comments by others are welcome in a “comments” thread in General Chat.

It has been agreed that debate will be limited to ten posts each (after actual debate begins) and that certain “rules of debate” will be established as a basis for the debate. Toward that end I sent the following PM to Goose. He responded by PM and I encourage him to do so in this thread.

My suggestions toward a body of rules include:

1. Debate honestly and honorably with no questionable tactics or tricks
2. Ask not more than five questions per post (to be numbered for clarity)
3. Answer each numbered question in the next post or admit inability or unwillingness
4. Verify / substantiate all challenged claims or withdraw them forthwith
5. Use standard dictionary definitions for all words (no special meanings)
6. Avoid logical fallacies

Do you have other suggestions?
