So Resurrection-Anastasis means reincarnation (Genesis 3.4)! not "coming up out of stasis". Oh really? The Greek Anastasis doesn't mean reincarnation in the dictionary. And every word of Gospel has parabolic (Matthew 13.34) and higher order meanings too, so the "stasis" includes entrapment, like a slave, mentally lame and in-crypted.

Anastasis includes expulsion from the underworld realm of the dead, official Secular death destination at the time. And lo, that's what happens to Jesus in Gospel.

@quranresponse speaking of wandering about bewildered in every valley... LOL

Quran:

{Surah-26-the poets (shuara)-vs-221}

Shall I inform you (of him) upon whom the shaitan (Satan) descend?

222-they descend upon every lying, sinful one,

223-they incline their ears, and most of them are liars.

[quranresponse]

224-and as to the poets, those who go astray follow them.

225-do you not see that they wander about bewildered in every valley?

226-and that they say that which they do not do,

227-except those who believe and do good and remember allah much, and defend themselves after they are oppressed; and they who act unjustly shall know to what final place of turning they shall turn back.

Let me remind you, by the way, that Vermesh was a former clergyman, a priest, not just an "agnostic Jew."
