I mean, like, I get that the evidence is that if Jesus was a real person he was probably born some time within a decade on either side of 0 AD but the title very clearly implies that they are trying to stop Jesus from being killed… the year most people believe he inevitably diedhttps://twitter.com/FB_BMB/status/1383500442634620928 …

Okay, I watched the trailer (which claims this has won more awards for its screenplay from international film festivals then any other film). There’s a line about killing Jesus before the resurrection which seems like you’d need something other then time travel to do though...

I guess I’m thinking like he was literally in hell right during those three days right? His physical body is in the tomb but Jesus is in hell. I guess you could destroy the physical body by burning it ip and scattering the ashes far and wide preventing the resurrection somehow

If the resurrection is supernatural this shouldn't matter at all, though (kind of hilariously) the taboo against cremation among many religious people implies that it does

"if god is teletransportering everyone into heaven, then they're not actually the *same* people who did the deeds that merited them heaven, so god has to be elevating the /matter/ of each person to heaven, which is why NO EATING THE DEAD CHARLES"

Right, which is awkward when you actually think about it and realize any corpse not locked inside an airtight steel vault has given up most of its molecules back to the cycle of life within a decade

This is why there was a Jewish folkloric belief that there was some single bone or remnant which was the only thing which would not decay and would be the basis of the fleshy resurrection.

But in general ancient religious traditions are a lot more carnal than modern audiences expect
