I said: "raised on the third day" (Paul's phrase) only makes sense in reference 
to a physical event doesn't it?": 
 Richard, playing silly buggers, says: "Raised from the dead means raised to a 
spirit . . . in which case, Jesus would have been hovering naked in front of 
Mary Magdalene": 
 She would hardly have mistaken a naked man for a gardener, as recounted in the 
Gospel. 
 The point is that the specificity of the *third* day implies the tomb being 
found empty on that day (Sunday) when the women visited the tomb. Which implies 
an absent physical body. What happened to it?
