Christians,

How would your life change if you were to learn that the resurrection of Jesus never occurred?

I understand resurrection. But do not know what you mean by it.
I mean: A resurrection is when someone that has died comes back to life.

No resurrection does not mean a body is "transformed".

Yes, that was the case for Jesus.

So Christ human body was stolen and buried and is now decomposed and God gave him a spiritual body instead of the dead human body? What is him that God gave a spiritual body...

No I don't believe Jesus body was stolen ; I believe God disposed of it.

Why would God do that? I think a stolen body makes more sense. You do not understand the question. Hmmm...It seems like God separated him from his human body and gave him a spiritual body. But that would mean that we are not the human body. It was not his human body that was given a spiritual body. It was him. So what is the human body? And what is him? Can something be separated from the human body and be given a spiritual body? The him/her/soul/spirit...

A stolen body doesn't make more sense. And God must have had His reasons .

What about the rest? No comments? About the stolen body...it makes more sense to me that it was stolen and I can also tell you who stole it and why or this book can...

But I would like to hear Gods reason for disposing Jesus body? It has only caused confusion...

No but a person can die and be bought to life in a spirit body.
