Nick,

Flesh and bone were created in the kingdom.

Wakeup,

According to your so attempt at logical reasoning the words “FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS” mean the group called “we” have never seen Jesus as he is. That group at least contains John who is one the Eleven who bore witness that he said his body was flesh and bone after the resurrection.

Literally the only ones that are said to have…[Read more]

Nick,

Hi KW,

Do you expect a new body?

Will you be different to Jesus in his old one?

“we know that when he comes we shall be alike to him”

I was stating a fact and not an interpretation or an opinion. That fact is that there is nothing written of Jesus’ body changing after said his resurrected body was composed of flesh and bon…[Read more]

Ed J,

“Few are Chosen” to handle of the Word of God fits

Do you mean teach or something else because all that are Jesus’ followers handle the word as in believing.

while “Few are Chosen” to enter into God’s kingdom does not fit.

How do you come to this conclusion?

To each of you that is concerned with the truth,

In conclusion Scripture states that that the body Jesus was raised in was made of flesh and bone. It does not state that his body ever changed to being composed of anything else. Those that believe his body changed are following a doctrine based on logical reasoning and what they believe as least…[Read more]

Nick,

Yes!

Nick,

Unless I misunderstand you, that is what I am saying.

Nick,

I do believe that Jesus does all he does by walking but the Spirit but I was echoing his words.

John 5:19Authorized (King James) Version (AKJV)

19 Then answered Jesus and said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he seeth the Father do: for what things soever he doeth, these also doeth…

Nick,

Yes, Jesus does and says what he sees God doing and saying.

Nick,

True.

Nick,

Yes, without the Spirit you cannot find God’s righteousness.

Nick,

The ways of God are not those of men.

Yes, as man falls short of God’s while the God’s Sons when fully mature do not.

Nick,

Man cannot obey the teachings without the empowering of the Spirit.

Flesh contributes nothing

You are correct for no matter how hard he tries he will pick and chose what strictures to do and which not to do for that is the way of the carnal nature.

Ed J,

Then would you call my body me?

Nick,

Yes, and he could have leaped of a tall building and walked on air fir angels would hold him up. He chose not to do that at Satan’s prompting.

T,

YES, AND TRUE ABOUT TO SUSTAIN HIM WAS NOT FOR PHYSICAL FOOD , FOR THE HOLY SPIRIT IS NOT GIVEN FOR THE FLESH ,BUT FOR THE SPIRIT OF THE TRUTH IN US ;

Nick,

Yes.

I was referencing Titus 3:9, 1 Timothy 6:4, and 2 Timothy 2:14 in my previous post.

Nick,

Yes, but that is different than the comparison I used. God cannot be tempted by evil and man is commonly tempted. Jesus himself was tempted by evil just like any of his fellow humans nevertheless many erroneously say he is God.

The likeness I was speaking of is that like God man has a spirit. God’s is holy and righteous and teaches a…[Read more]

Nick,

We are to strive by faith and not by that which is without God.
