Investnow2017: Truth is you can argue all day or you can open up to the truth. I'll point you to verses that undisputably point to Jesus rising in flesh. And He said to them, “Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? See My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Touch Me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have.” And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet (Luke 24:38-40). Understand that he said, "for a spirit does not have flesh or bones" That verse would have been enough to quench this conversation but no, you will try and come up with anything to support your believe. So the Jews said to Him, “What sign do You show us for doing these things?” Jesus answered them, “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.” The Jews then said, “It has taken forty-six years to build this temple, and will You raise it up in three days?” But He was speaking about the temple of His body. (John 2:18-21) Noticed he said, destroy this temple. And I'll raise it up again in three days. Temple here meaning the physical body of Christ. And while they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, He said to them, ’Have you anything here to eat?’ They gave Him a piece of broiled fish, and He took it and ate before them” (Luke 24:41-43) He ate to prove to them that he was with them physically and of course spiritually Jesus went to extra length to prove this point. Because he knew people would come someday to try and prove that the resurrection was only spiritual. Again, he said, "touch me and see. For spirits do not have flesh and bone" Unless if Jesus was deceiving the apostles by making them believe he resurrected physically when it was spiritual. One thing you cannot argue with here is that Jesus was making effort to prove to the apostles that he resurrected physically. The burden of false interpretation is on you and your organization 4 Likes 1 Share |

Sergioaguero:Good afternoon Sir. This is how the American Standard Version puts it 7 And it is the Spirit that beareth witness, because the Spirit is the truth. 8 For there are three who bear witness, the Spirit, and the water, and the blood: and the three agree in one. So it not only the New World Translation that doesn't seem to match this. Would you like to discuss privately about this? I'll be pleased Sir. Thanks. |

Lostz: Have honestly prayed about it? Let God know how you feel about it. Ask for suggestions if you are sincere. A lot of us that enjoy the house to house preaching today once felt like that. But today we can't stay without doing it whether or not people listen. Are you ashamed? Probe yourself, there must be a reason you don't like it. Romans chapter one and ten makes us know that that is one way we can demonstrate that our faith is alive. Romans 1: 16, and Romans 10:10-15 . |

Kingpele: You can the account again, it's a parable not a real life experience. A parable is a fictional story meant to teach moral lesson. The characters are symbols. Lazarus represents the downtrodden and common Jews class while the Pharisees and scribes are well represented with the rich man behaviour. |

justli: How did he now go back to heaven? Physically? What Jesus said to Thomas that a spirit does not have flesh and blood substantiate what I have earlier said. You are not getting something clear here. A spirit is a higher form of life. While a spirit can materialize and take on human form, a human flesh cannot turn into a spirit. So the scriptures you have cited corroborate my point. If he resurrected as a physical human how was he able to ascend to heaven? . |

wisewordd: We follow the Bible’s advice to “respect everyone”, regardless of their religious beliefs. (1 Peter 2:17) That is why we avoid pressuring people to become one of us. These are the reasons: Jesus never pressured people to accept his teachings. He knew that relatively few would respond to his message. Jesus taught his followers not to push others to change their beliefs. Instead of trying to force people to accept the good news of the Kingdom against their will, his disciples were to look for listeners who were receptive. This is why we don't force our message or anyone. |

Elimon:Hmm, Actrocities is a strong word by definition, just say you realized that they are just normal people living their lives, also sinners who are able to make mistakes. But be assured that Jehovah's Witnesses as an organization do not condole willful practice of sin, when one is discovered among them, they are quick to take action and correct matters, preserving the sanctity of the organization. |

Just in case anybody wonders why jw would go to any length to deny that Jesus resurrected in body, The Bible teaches that Jesus is the first born. And he is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation (Colossians 1:15). But jw laying claim to Jesus been the first created supports their teaching with this verse and would go to any length to defend this. But here is what the Bible says: will also appoint him my firstborn, the most exalted of the kings of the earth (Psalm 89:27). Was David the first born or the first king? No. But in order of preeminence, God sees David as first king amongst kings And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn from the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth (Revelation 1:5). But Revelation tells us what "Jesus as the first born means" 1 Like |

rosalieene: Those who are serious about religion should think that the one they’ve chosen is acceptable to Jehovah and Jesus. Otherwise, why would they be involved in it? Jesus Christ didn’t agree with the view that there are many religions, many roads, all leading to salvation. Rather, he said: “Narrow is the gate and cramped the road leading off into life, and few are the ones finding it.” (Matthew 7:14) Jehovah’s Witnesses believe that they’ve found that road. Otherwise, they’d look for another religion. We do not condemn other people's religion but peacefully practice ours |
