Did Jesus Resurrect As A Spirit? by livingchrist: 10:25pm On Jun 28, 2021
According to Jehovah witnesses, when Jesus died he did not resurrect as a human being again but he resurrected as a Angel Michael.

Is this claim true, well according to the bible it Jesus died and resurrected, no he was not a spirit he resurrected but he resurrected as a man.

Again there are some who believes Jesus was only a man on earth but after he died and resurrected and became God again.

First of all, Jesus was God when he became man he didnt cease from being God, rather he add humanity to his divine nature, his God nature was not reduced or modified, it remained the same as it was from eternity.

As a result of this Jesus could exhibit 100 percent character of God and 100 percent character of man.
As a man Jesus could be hungry, feel sleepy, grow in knowledge, limited in knowledge, do everything a human can do except Sinning because Jesus was a perfect man without sin nature and he remained so by his will.
When Jesus died it was his humanity that died when Jesus rose, he also rose as the God-man although death did not affect his divine nature only his earth body.

Jesus was resurrected with a far better human body, his human nature was glorified, his glorified human nature is the archetype of what will happen to we Christians on the resurrection morning, as Christians our hope lies in the resurrection not in death, although when we die we rest from our labours but we will have a full experience of the wonderful plentiful glory of God on the resurrection, infact when we die we be with christ but we are kept until the day of resurrection.

The resurrection is wonderful, our redeemed soul, renewed spirit and glorified body come together in perfect harmony and agreement,
so that we could experience God's glory in its fullnesd as the man God created in his image.

presently we are in a pitiful state, our soul is yearning for the redemption of our body, our body and spirit often are in disagreement, our body is weak and dying, hence we only experience just a minute spec of life, even life on earth is dented and full of evil, hence be with the Lord is far better.

Jesus was the first fruit of our resurrection, in order words Jesus is our future, hence care must be taken to preserve the integrity of his resurrection. He didnt resurrect as a spirit, his resurrection did not alter Jesus human personality, after his resurrection mary was still able to recognise him when he spoke to her, Jesus is not a stranger he is our brother because he possesses same nature with us.

Here are some scriptures that points to Jesus resurrection.

Matthew 12:40
For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Matthew 17:22-23 And while they abode in Galilee, Jesus said unto them, The Son of man shall be betrayed into the hands of men:
And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.

Matthew 20:19 And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.

you are correct except that Jesus did not have blood, his blood was shed,

See this below,

Luke 24:39
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

Jesus said he will take his life up again,

John 10:17
Therefore doth my Father love me, because I lay down my life, that I might take it again.

This life was his human life

I hate arguing Bible because the book is a spiritual book. Most things written in the Bible need the Holy Spirit to help us have deep understanding beyond human knowledge and perception.
My advice to you is to listen more to Holy Spirit any time you are reading this book.
Remember in Romans 5:12–21, Paul refers to Jesus as second Adam. Remember also through out Jesus ministry on earth He was always referring to himself as Son of Man. Bible is deep. The purpose of Jesus coming in flesh has a deep meaning.

Jesus did rise from the dead, was it a spirit that died? Resurrection is for only humans not spirit because a spirit can not die.
If Jesus was a spirit that is not resurrection but something else.

You really tried with your scriptural points but there are deeper things you should look into before answering thought provoking questions of that nature! smiley

Enoch and Elijah were humans meaning they are descendants of Adam and undoubtedly must have inherited sin through Adam {Romans 5:12} according to God's word the wages sin pays is DEATH {Romans 6:23} so there's no way any human born of the lineage of Adam can escape death! John 3:13
Jesus said that out of all those who lived from the time of Abel till John the baptist none is greater than John the baptist {Matthew 11:11} which means neither Enoch nor Elijah could have had any privilege before God that's more than what John had.
So it means these two people were hidden from the face of those who knew them in order for people not to know how they died or their grave. That's exactly what God did to Moses, if it wasn't recorded that Moses died and was buried by angels of course the Israelites will never believe that such a person can die. Remember God's word said there was no ISRAELITE prophet greater than Moses {Deuteronomy 34:10} therefore they both died but their corpses were hidden from people! smiley

I wonder how Jesus could do all this and still be lesser than his Father?

He is 100% God and 100% man! Which makes 200% God man. But his father remains at 100%. Jesus can even do many things his father can't do! He can shit. He can live in the human womb, pass through the birth canal, be protected by other humans, Eat, drink, feel hunger, die, cry, receive lashes of beating and even worship his father! I don't think the father can do all this!

But why do you say he is 100% man when man can sin? If Jesus can't sin then he's not 100% man.

And Jesus when alive with his 200% God-man status was still limited in knowledge! And when he died the God part didn't die but the human part died yet he remains human but with no blood cos the blood was shed...!

How does all this makes sense to you guys?

Brother I have self control
So I meant to him to run away from Jehovah's Witnesses teaching

Now about kingdom of darkness
My aim is to bring you out from there, by the power in Jesus name

Jesus and his disciples only look for humble and obedient individuals who believe they needed enlightenment about God's will not people who already beleive that they've gotten what it takes to do God's will, that's what he meant by the lost sheep of the house of Israel! Matthew 10:6, 15:24
So that means Jesus can be in the midst of Pharisees only in a place of worship for both {John 10:23-24} or one of them decide to INVITE him {Luke 7:36; 11:37} apart from that Jesus warned his disciples to avoid them completely {Matthew 16:6} surely they can only avoid their troubles if they don't go near them! cheesy

But let's see how fitting you've proved to be a descendant of the Pharisees the real agents of darkness!

The Jehovah's Witnesses have the same line of thought just like Jesus and his disciples {John 17:20-23} that's why he could say "only these are his brothers" {Matthew 12:46-49} are always trying to reach people of all sorts, you are the one that's been stalking us up and down the whole place with stupid arguments about your god that can't unite you and your deluded cohorts just as the Jews in Jesus' days who were stalking Jesus and his disciples up and down {Mark 9:14-16 compare to Act 14:19 but within them their is great envy, jealously, contradictions and unending controversy! Act 23:6-8

Now you advised someone to RUN AWAY FROM JEHOVAH'S WITNESSES while you are always running after the same people saying you want to save them yet you're here calling them names like agents of darkness, liars and so on when you have nothing upstairs to say other than for everyone to accept your god! cheesy
