Most religious organizations have produced bad fruitage. IT IS NOT THE FACT THAT GROUPS ARE ORGANIZED THAT IS BAD. But many have promoted forms of worship that are based on false teachings and are largely ritualistic instead of providing genuine spiritual guidance; they have been misused to control the lives of people for selfish objectives; they…[Read more]

Oh, I see. Then I should perhaps edit my above post, so as not to confuse.

Mr. steve has just made the comment:”The very name “Jehovah Witnesses” is out of order with the scripture.” He says that we should be witnesses of Jesus.Yes, we are to be witnesses of Jesus. Correct.We are also to be “disciples” (followers) of Jesus. We are copy him, imitate him.And Jesus is the “the faithful witness” and also the “faithful and…[Read more]

Hi CPe.

94, what are your thoughts? These last few pages began with me responding to some things you said.

Looks like the Bible to me Nick. MARK 16:12 KING JAMES“After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.”Mark 16:12 DOUAY VERSION“And after that he appeared in another shape to two of them walking, as they were going into the country.”

Quote But you would say he was raised in a different body I would say? Or Mark would say? See above post.

MARK 16:12 KING JAMES“After that he appeared in another form unto two of them, as they walked, and went into the country.”Mark 16:12 DOUAY VERSION“And after that he appeared in another shape to two of them walking, as they were going into the country.” (Also appears this way in Latin Vulgate and the German Luther Bible)The Greek word there transla…[Read more]

1 CORINTHIANS 15:45“It is even so written: “The first man Adam became a living soul.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.”

Don't get me wrong. he was in human form when they were looking at him in the room, not spirit form.

LUKE 24:31-35“. . . he disappeared from them. . . . Now they themselves related the on the road and HOW HE BECAME KNOWN TO THEM by the breaking of the loaf.”They had apparently seen him breaking bread many times. I guess he did it in a different way, or something memorable. But what was not memorable to them, or what they did not somehow rec…[Read more]

1 CORINTHIANS 15:50“However, this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God’s kingdom, neither does corruption inherit incorruption.”

Quote Do you not believe in the resurrection of Jesus? NIck, sometimes I question your motives. Where Oh where did I ever in the slightest question Jesus resurrection? PLEASE, oh, please, show us all where I did this.Why do you like to misrepresent me so much?

Quote Either you deny that Christ can enter the kingdomAnd this makes no sense, for I argue that he was a spirit (“flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom”) and you argue that he was flesh, a man.So perhaps you deny this? Is that not what the scripture says? Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom?Quote or you make him by your assumptions…[Read more]

Quote He was resurrected davidbelieveObviously Nick, you are misrepresenting me.

Nick,I ask again, a most bizarre question to you apparently:WHY WOULD THEY HAVE TO ASK: ‘WHO ARE YOU?’ OR NEED THE COURAGE TO ASK THIS IF HE HAD HIS FLESHLY BODY THAT WAS RECOGNIZABLE? Can “flesh” pass through locked doors, in your opinion? Of course, to a spirit, a locked door is nothing. He suddenly appeared in their midst, even though the doo…[Read more]

Quote Good question but no answers from God' word.Have you some theories? Wrong nick, we're told he died in the flesh and was raised a spirit. No mysteries.But they remain mysteries to you, I suppose. Very very odd mysteries.

Quote So by your definition of manmen never go to heaven? They go to heaven, but they are “changed” and no longer “flesh.”I'll tell you a secret nick, a mystery, according to some Bibles:1 CORINTHIANS 15:51-52“Look! I tell YOU a sacred secret: We shall not all fall asleep , but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, d…[Read more]

We are told that Jesus “became flesh.” (John 1:14)We're also told that:”he emptied himself and took a slave’s form and came to be in the likeness of men. More than that, when he found himself in fashion as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient as far as death,”Phil 2:5-8I do not believe Jesus is still in the “likeness of men.”1 PETER 3…[Read more]

Quote Jesus is a man. Doctor, what is a man? What does the Bible indicate a man is? What do all the dictionaries? Maybe all the dictionaries of the world are wrong. A man is flesh. Jesus is not flesh, but a mighty spirit being, given all authority and power.
