    If I pay a ransom do I get my money back?

    Jesus' paid the price (ransom) but he got his life back.

    He was dead like 6.41e-13 years of his long life.

    It's a sacrifice of the physical for the spiritual.

    Some different interpretations:

    He gave up his human life ... so went back to being an immortal super-being and getting universal rulership in return. He then misled people by claiming he'd been resurrected as a human (i.e. rebuilding the "temple" of his body in 3 days, showing holes in his hands etc...)

    He did come back as a human (so really sacrificed nothing apart from a few days - people have been on a pub crawl and slept for longer). Which means "what sacrifice"?

    In both cases, he told porky pies.

    Wasn't daddy supposed to hate liars?

    This is before you even get to "who was the ransom paid to?"

    So did Adam have a soul.I mean he did not die right away physically.
