Is Jesus a Zombie?

  No.  Let's clear up a few misconceptions: zombie does not mean "one that is dead but is still alive", what we might call "undead".  Zombie has to do with the voodoo religion and mind control, what you're thinking of is a ghoul.  So, is Jesus a ghoul?  Nope.  So, why am I talking about Jesus's death and resurrection at the beginning of advent?  Because I can.  So, we know from the Bible that Jesus came back from the dead, and that half a thousand people say the risen Christ (1 Corinthians 15:5).  We also know, that, since Jesus was born and grew (Luke 2), so we know that he was truly human, and John 1 tells us he was truly God.  So, did Jesus die?  This is another question that we must ask before we answer why Jesus is not a ghoul.  Indeed, he did. (Mark 15:37)  So, why is Jesus not a ghoul?  Well, let me ask you this, do ghouls have intellect?  No.  Jesus, having an intellect, wouldn't be a ghoul, much less a "zombie".  I would argue those claiming that Jesus is a "zombie" are more of one than Jesus will ever be.
