Jesus did a David Copperfield?

As for the stone, well when he was put in the tomb he didnt roll it himself either. Dont see why he had to roll it away. The angels were there not just to open the tomb but to witness to anyone that came looking it wasnt a case of whether it was too heavy or not.

physical pain from the side of humanity
spiritual suffering the moment He is separated from the Father
physical death from the side of humanity

other than that, He is still God. He is very much alive and well. He chose 72 hours (3 days) because He had other missions to accomplish. Like say hello to the Adversary, and take the keys of death and the grave from him (so we are able to resurrect without obstruction).

The flesh body was like a lamb in human form. It fulfilled its purpose. But it was still God the entire process through. And that brief separation from Son to Father upon the Cross, reconnected the moment He said, it is finished.
Thanks for the reply

Yes, salvation is not reckoned after the flesh of the one time demonstration as the Son of man, Jesus. But after the Son of God, the Christ the anointing Holy Spirit of God after the unseen spirit of holiness .Not in respect to his birth but in respect to the call rise and the Son of man gave up the Spirit returning to the father who gave it temporally. The power to rise, or power to resurrect does not come from the flesh but is poured on the flesh typified as sinful in order to put away sin of the flesh .

Power by which we can beleive. Son of God, not the Son of man, Jesus.

Romans 1:4 And declared to be the "Son of God" with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:

1. Jesus walked through walls, or atleast He suddenly stood inside the room, so why did an angel have to take away the grave stone? And even if He couldnt walk through a stone, He could walk on water, raise the dead, change water into wine and calm the storm, but needed help with the stone?
He didn't "need" help with the stone. An angel was doing what he was created to do - serve God.

What this boils down to is that you question the spiritual dimension present in our physical world. There are scientist today who say they can mathematically prove 11 dimensions that humans are not aware of, and that doesn't include the spiritual.
