Part 6 The dictionary definition of the word resurrection is “the act of bringing someone back to life”.  Resurrection is not resuscitation.  When someone is resuscitated, they are brought back to life very soon after death. Resurrection, however, is bringing again to life after the person has been legally pronounced dead.  In both cases, the bringing back to life involves a physical body.  A resurrection without a body is nonsense.  Imagine if when Lazarus was raised from the dead, one party claimed to see him alive while the women were seen carrying his corpse away.  Rumours might well surface of seeing the "spirit" of Lazarus but everyone would agree, that Lazarus is dead since a resurrection requires a bringing again to life of the body.  Jehovah's Witnesses have a very strange dilemma facing them.  On one hand, they teach that Jesus was raised from the dead, but on the other hand, they teach that Jehovah destroyed His body!  Whatever spin one may desire to put on this, one is left with the same problem,
