I know you have discussed these on here already, but just as a point of reference, here is another reason they believe Jesus was RESURRECTED a spirit. The Bible is very clear when it says: “Christ died once for all time concerning sins . . . , he being put to death in the flesh, but being made alive in the spirit.” (1 Peter 3:18) Humans with fle…[Read more]

JESUS GAVE UP HIS PERFECT HUMAN LIFE, HIS SOUL, AS A RANSOM SACRIFICE. (If you think Jesus was given that human life back, with his human body, then would this not be like taking the ransom back. He forfeited, gave up, surrendered his human life. It was a sacrifice.) 1 TIMOTHY 2:5,6“…a man, Christ Jesus, who gave himself a corresponding r…[Read more]

Quote The ones who deny the true resurrection of Jesus' flesh also deny the power of God – and that today is the JWs. Of such Paul told us to keep away.This has been stated a few times. I'm not sure why. JW definitely believe Jesus “came in the flesh.” Or, as it possibly meant, “Jesus as Christ (the anointed one) came in the flesh.”They don't…[Read more]

I think you will also find some of the commentary, such as the first sentence (the “somewhat puzzling) is taken from commentary found in http://www.biblecc.com website.

Ok. Re-read it. The illustration, yes. The ransom definition, pretty much yes. The rest was me pulling what I considered to be related scriptures together.

https://www.heavennet.net/cgi-bin/forum/ikonboard.cgi?act=ST;f=1;t=4443;hl=puzzleThe thread above “Jesus' resurrection–a puzzle” while not focusing on this verse, at least gives the reasons for the other perspective.

Off topic: does anyone know which thread a person would go to find the idea that the word “god” is possibly pagan? I'm referring to those conversations with the people that use “G-g” instead of “god.” Where do I find that?
