How will we find out? Guess we should dig him up, just in case.
Would you believe it was Him if he did?

I agree with CC1, it is awesome that God touched his body and he went on to worship God for that healing. I do believe in miracles, but why state he was "dead".
When I was 15, I was singing the lead w/our church choir in a special anniv service. At the end of the second pew was an elderly man in a wheel chair. I watched him turn grey, slump over and in my mind all I could think was "Oh My, he is dying in front of me...don't lose it...keep singing" and fortunately some saw the same thing, my dad calmly stepped up to him along w/a few other ministers and prayed for him. The man revived, color came back and service went on.
I've seen things like this happen before, I know God to be a healer and a miracle worker...and more than likely Bro Arnold was very sick and possibly dying...that is enough to be thankful that God has touched his body.
My father was really sick in his last 4 years of life while on dialysis, and I can't count the times he passed out, went grey, and we thought we had lost him..no pulse either...only to start CPR or call the EMTs...and see him come back around, sit back up and continue to live.
I don't claim to be a medical expert, but really, we might think someone is dead, but until you are declared dead by medical professional who had tried to do CPR... you really aren't "dead". See... I am agreeing w/Steve on this one!
I agree with this post! Maybe I'm a little too skeptical, but I would be more inclined to believe it if he was pronounced dead by a doctor after 15 minutes of CPR. Even better yet, taken out in a body bag and he walks back in the next night after being dead for 24 hours! Unconscious -yeah! Difficulty finding a pulse with all the praying going on? - yeah! Dead? - not so sure!

Like the guy I read about yesterday that woke up in the morgue. Pronounced dead after all attempts to save him had failed.

Well, that's a good question. Even if a naturally impossible event were to happen, there would be no way to know what caused it. Everyone here, of course, would be certain it was God, and they could be right.

Ya, I read about that. I believe it was South Africa.
there was a highway patrolman who pulled a elderly couple over for speeding a few years back. while giving a ticket, a drunk driver side swiped him. He was pronounced dead at the scene.
woke up in the morg. Doctors said he will be a vegatable, He goes around and preaches Jesus now.

do you believe in the bible?do you believe in God?, or do you belive all religion to be a bunch of wackos?
and those who have a relationship with God and Jesus Christ, are living in a fairy tale land in thier own imagination? just curious
