Why don't you tell us what you really think????
Sorry but Jesus physcially rose from the dead in the Body He took to the grave! Despite the Watchtowers protestations to the opposite, the Bible is absolutely clear. Even the word resurrection requires a bodily resurrection unless you believe Jesus was a spirit creature when He died!
The deity of Christ is also without Question biblically! Despite the Watchtower deliberately altering John 1:1. YOu are stuck with a being that is called God and had divinity as His nature prior to coming to earth. But because the organization that has deceived you will not let you know th edifference in teh Hebrew words for one- you cannot understand!
John 20:17 and John 20:28 are both 100% true! The Father is above all!
Also you really stink at being a mind reader who thinks he can know what I believe.
Also Jesus is physically coming back to earth in the future! Despite the Watchtower until 1930 in Judge Rutherfords book "prophecy" kept declaring Jesus invisibly returned in 1874, before they swapped it to 1914! and then changing how many or how old people needed to be to see the events of 1914. He will come again and the whole world will see!
But despite how religious you may or may not be or how deep your practice your watchtower belief system started by Charles Taze Russel, the Scriptures say if you deny the physical second coming of Jesus, the truth is not in you and if you deny Jesus physically rose again from the dead- you are yet in your sin.
To put it bluntly I could care less what someone thinks of me and what I believe. Too many deny it was the Only Begotten Son of God that God sent to this world of mankind that it was the Only Begotten Son of God that died for the world of mankind, that it was the Only Begotten Son of God that God resurrected three days after his death.
What is “the likeness of his resurrection”? Well, how was Christ resurrected? In
1 Peter 3:18 we are told: “Christ died once for all time concerning sins, a righteous person for unrighteous ones, that he might lead you to God, he being put to death in the flesh, but being made alive in the spirit.”
By sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, God had humbled his Son, making him “a little lower than angels.” (
Romans 8:3; Hebrews 2:7-9; Psalm 8:5) But God did not purpose for his only-begotten Son to remain a creature of flesh and blood forever, inferior to heavenly angels. God purposed to glorify him more highly than angels for his faithfulness to death in the flesh. So the perfect human body that God miraculously “prepared” for Jesus on earth was the body that Jesus offered to God once for all time in sacrifice. It was given for mankind to feed upon like bread; just as Jesus said: “The bread that I shall give is my flesh in behalf of the life of the world.” (
Hebrews 10:1-10; John 6:51) So, after his being “put to death in the flesh,” Jesus, if he were to be raised to life again, had to be “made alive in the spirit,” as a heavenly spirit Son of God.
Like Jesus Christ, his spirit-begotten disciples must be “faithful even to death” in the flesh. (
Revelation 2:10) For them to be united with him “in the likeness of his resurrection,” they also, like him, have to be “made alive in the spirit,” as spirit creatures. In
1 Corinthians 15:42-54, we read of their kind of resurrection:
“It is sown in corruption, it is raised up in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised up in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised up in power. It is sown a physical body, it is raised up a spiritual body. If there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual one. It is even so written: ‘The first man Adam became a living soul.’ The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. Nevertheless, the first is, not that which is spiritual, but that which is physical, afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is out of the earth and made of dust; the second man is out of heaven. As the one made of dust is, so those made of dust are also; and as the heavenly one is, so those who are heavenly are also. And just as we have borne the image of the one made of dust, we shall bear also the image of the heavenly one.
“However, this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God’s kingdom, neither does corruption inherit incorruption. Look! I tell you a sacred secret: We shall not all fall asleep in death, but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, during the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised up incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this which is corruptible must put on incorruption, and this which is mortal must put on immortality. But when this which is corruptible puts on incorruption and this which is mortal puts on immortality, then the saying will take place that is written: ‘Death is swallowed up forever.’”
