So the answer is yes and no. You can argue that the body was not resurrected but that does not necessarily mean Jesus was not.

Today Jehovah Witnesses believe just that and reinterpret the Gospels accordingly. They say the physical manifestation of Jesus were done in a temporary body (not the one that died on the cross) so the disciples could interact with him before going to heaven. For example:

“…in his resurrection he ‘became a life-giving spirit.’ That was why for most of the time he was invisible to his faithful apostles… He needs no human body any longer… The human body of flesh, which Jesus Christ laid down forever as a ransom sacrifice, was disposed of by God’s power.”—“Things in Which it is Impossible for God to Lie,” pp. 332, 354

For me, arguing against the resurrection is backwards. The natural state of affairs is that the dead do not come back to life (sorry zombie believers). No one has to argue against a resurrection, the believers are the ones who should present evidence and argument for one. So far, no reasonable argument nor any evidence has been presented to establish such a miraculous exception to the natural laws of the cosmos.
