No.
But you just called me a liar. Do you have evidence to support your accusation? Do you even know whom I am talking about? Were you there when the person died? Are you saying that the heart machine was lying when it showed a that the persons heart had stopped beating? Are you saying that you who was not there is right and everybody that was there is wrong?
C'mon No1, don't be so childish.
Death - A permanent cessation of all vital functions.
Ever see anybody "raised" from that?

Don't be stupid. Doctors have mistakenly signed death certificates before; heck, there's proof of people being buried who weren't dead. Do you think that just because a doctor signs a death certificate that is necessary and sufficient for someone to be actually dead??????🙄
EDIT: Your post reminds me of the scene in the "Princess Bride ...[text shortened]... y "mostly dead". I saw the movie, so I guess I have seen people "raised from the dead" too!!

And Yes. I have seen someone becoming alive after their life had terminated.
You know exactly what I mean.
Originally posted by dj2beckerWhat you mean is not being "raised from the dead" in its standard definition. Otherwise, everyone who has had their heart stop and had CPR sucessfully performed on them has been "raised from the dead". Do you think that's what Jesus did in the NT; merely gave some mouth to mouth to people who's hearts had stopped? Do you regard CPR has a "miracle"?

You think giving a person CPR more than 24 hours after they were medically announced as "dead" will help?
Originally posted by dj2beckerI don't believe you. PROVE that someone medically dead for 24 hours was "raised from the dead". And while you're at it, you can collect $1 million from James Randi who has offered that reward for positive proof of a supernatural occurrence. Happy days, little dj2becker, you're gonna be rich!
