Zeref clearly stated he revived Natsu as an Etherious as Natsu was dead. At the very least he summoned his soul back to his body. Even in the Midlian Academy his teachers, never said that resurrection was impossible only that it would bring Anhkseram's Wrath. Even if take into account the teacher that told him he was expelled and that he couldn't bring his brother back. That could just as easily read as you shouldn't.

Mashina Hiro stated that he won't revive characters if they died, not that resurrection it was impossible. The R-System was stated to work just never got the change to use it, by Jellal, and even the Magic Council confirmed its use. Can't compare Full Metal Alchemist to Fairy Tail. Science vs Magic plus two separate series. As for Hades he tried every resurrection spell he could find. They along with Anhkseram's curse created Fairy Heart, but didn't revive her as she was in a dead like state, but was still emitting Magic Power.

Is true resurrection monsterously difficult? Yes it is. Is it impossible outside of the power of The One Magic? No, as no canon material has been stated to counteract this. Most are failed attempts or altered forms of resurrection like with Natsu's Demon Revival. However he wasn't "turned" into an Etherious he was dead Zeref, entire reason for well everything. His dead body was preserved as an Etherious before he was revived, least according to current dubs.

Taken from the canon FT wikia.

After creating things such as the R-System and the Eclipse Gate, he was expelled from the academy for breaching the sacred teachings of Ankhseram, however he was cursed by Ankhseram and then killed everyone around him with his newfound, unwanted Curse of Contradiction. After this, Zeref wished to die and wandered around, creating the Etherious in the hopes that they would kill him, but instead turned to (reviving his dead brother), (having preserved his body, as an Etherious), (thus fulfilling his goal of bringing his brother back) and creating something that could kill him: E.N.D.; Etherious Natsu Dragneel.

Hell even though Curse Power is Magic Power, Hell's Core could revive Etherious. Even the Curse Necromaner, could temporarily revive the dead. So resurrection isn't completely impossible but for pure unconditional revival it hasn't been done but it has not be deemed impossible only forbidden and dangerous to pursue.

So Zeref broke the notion the dead can be revived. However he revived Natsu as a demon to kill himself for his immortality, it's never stated he couldn't bring him back without turning him something else.
