It sounds ridiculous, that the second most important person in the whole universe is reduced up there, to a single less than 2 meters tall body of flesh and bones.

If the disciples clearly knew that Jesus had been a living spirit before he was born, they would have no confusion about Jesus being alive again as it relates to his new body. If after resurrecting he had a spirit body and manifested like the angels of old, his disciples would have understood...

Based on what you have learned or been taught, how would you respond to this question: Did the disciples recognize that Jesus had lived in heaven before being born as a human? Later I'll post about what I've learned in my Bible study on that matter. PS: Whichever you answer, please prove it...

The problem with that is that Jesus said to the woman in John 20:17, the third day of that happening: "Be not detaining me, for not yet have I ascended unto the Father" (The Emphasized Bible). Later in Acts 1:3 it says he was "throughout forty days making himself visible unto them and speaking...

The problem Paul is mentioning have nothing to do with Christians. If anyone do live the way Paul is saying in that passage is not a real Christian ... Paul is contrasting the life of those "who hold the truth in unrighteousness" (verse 18-KJV) or "hinder the truth in unrighteousness" (NASV)...

When the Scriptures say that Jesus was raised from the dead (1 Cor. 15:12,20), that he was resurrected (Acts 2:24,32), and that his soul was taken from Hades (Acts 2:31), I understand all three expressions mean the same thing: he was brought back to life by God at the third day of being dead...

Have you ever tried to count the times the Jewish Shema is explicitly mentioned or partially paraphrased in the NT? Every time that happens in the NT, Christians are being reminded of Jehovah's identity as the only God.

My body is me. If my body die, I died, since my brain will be not functioning any more. I'll stop thinking and feeling. I won't be alive until the day God will resurrect me to come back to live again. I'll be like sleeping without dreaming, waiting, resting. Have you never read in the...

Sorry I didn't answered this before (it is about your last post too) ... Let's say there are three parts of Jesus ... Some people think they are three individual Jesuses: 1) you said before that he physically died (post #9) and I guess you meant his body. SO: one Jesus died; I can not say it...

Yeah, good point: what did Peter really say, and why some people try to give a different interpretation to his words?

Did the disciples of Jesus think he was alive in, let's say, another realm? I don't think so. When he was killed, they practically think IT'S OVER. They didn't even remember what he said about coming back to life at the third day. They didn't think anything about Jesus being somewhere else...

@marks , Ok, that is what happened ... The disciples did not think he was somewhere alive. Jesus said to John he was not alive, but he came back to life, or in other words he came to live again. Do you understand: in the case of Jesus this is about alive vs dead. It is not half-alive vs...

This topic is about Jesus being dead. I already cited what he said: I WAS DEAD, he said. I'm still waiting for you to tell me what you think he meant by that.

How many "living parts" of the dead Jesus (Rev. 1:18; 2:8) do you think there were after he was killed, and where do you think each of them was? I have heard many stories about it, all of them based on some weird interpretations of a couple of verses ... and I am very interested in counting how...

He did not say: "One part of me was dead". He said: "I was dead". What do you think he meant?

Well, first thing: when Jesus said these things: Rev. 1:18 I am he that liveth, and was dead; and behold, I am alive for evermore (...) 2:8 (...) These things saith (...) which was dead, and is alive. What did he mean when saying he WAS DEAD? The resurrected Jesus, now in heaven, is talking...

What Jesus said DOES NOT depend on what people believes about the death. Did the disciples of Jesus believe the same Jesus said about being dead those three days? ... that he was just not alive somewhere else?

What the disciples of Jesus believed while he was dead?

What did the disciples believe while Jesus was dead? :cry:

That is the question: what do you think it happens when Jesus died? Let's talk about it ... Please use the Scriptures in a smart manner, and use the logic in your argument, so we understand clearly what you believe and how you try and prove it with the Bible. I think that when Jesus died...
