No contradiction. Your observation just proves that Jesus was God, saying in effect that as "One" with the Father, He was including Himself in the "Us" who made man in their image, and all things manifest to be seen of men.

It is written "while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight." Which does not mean that Jesus "disappeared", except to those of this world, for He also then appeared to each whom He received unto Himself. As for Jesus returning "out of body"--no I did not say...

It would appear that you mean to say that the Father and the Holy Spirit are spirit, but the Son is not...or at least that the Son is also flesh. Which is not true, as "the flesh returns to the dust" (and in the end is "dissolved" with the elements). If that is not what you mean to say, please...

Thank you as well...but I do not dabble in opinion. Blessings--all is well!

We already are (in our flesh bodies). That is...as Jesus also "was" before His ascension. However, John saying we would be "like Him" did not mean that we would be what he had already known of Jesus, but rather what "has not yet been revealed", just as he said. Which is to say, "as He is" and...

That misses the point that God is not flesh, but spirit, and that our purposed future is to be One with Him and "like Him." There is nothing metaphoric about it. Revelation 21:23 The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its...

God has presented us with the flesh vs. the spirit (Himself), as if we are to weigh them in our own hands and choose between them. I see that we are much in agreement. Grace and peace to you as well!

Those are all reasonable assumptions, nonetheless incorrect. Assumptions of the flesh. The overarching reality however, is that all those events are mere manifestations or public revelations of what was already true "before the foundation of the world." So, citing their chronology after the...

These are big issues, so I will address them one at a time: The "change" however, is not from sinful flesh to unsinful flesh, but from darkness to light--the light of God...which does not transform sinful flesh, it "dissolves" it, just as is true of all the "elements." As He warned, "Therefore...

No...God being spirit--that is a godly idea. But you bring up a good point regarding Jesus having "the same flesh as we do." That is a major stumbling block, and just about as backward as can be. To the contrary, we should understand that Jesus' being born of this same flesh was Him being born...

To be clear, God who is "perfect", lacking nothing--is spirit. So, to believe or campaign for an eternal future for the body of flesh which is at war with God...is just the flesh talking--by the power of Satan. In other words, although it is hard to imagine from our current perspective, there...

If I may interject... Man was brought forth by God from the dust of the earth--so was the Son of man. That is the body that was raised from the dead, and as it is written, "the body returns to the dust, and spirit to God who gave it." Meaning, there was no glorification of the flesh to...

If " the great city" is "spiritually" "called Sodom and Egypt"...then surely these things are all subject to translation by the Spirit. Go figure--each of the messages to the churches is followed by Jesus, saying, “He who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches." And...

When we ask the big questions of life, like what is life all about, etc., and realize that this is not all there is...then it helps to understand that this would be reality is not the best measure of what is actually real or important. For example, if we can imagine downward from our own world...

The reason God has created this simulation world is written. It is a revelation or a witness and revealing of the man of sin--us, before the Judgment. This is the reading of our last will and testament.

Jesus' statement has escaped many. Consider what was also going on (other than what you have believed): Jesus confirmed who He was and how Peter arrived at the answer to His question. Then he in turn confirmed who Peter was, saying "You are Peter." But what was Peter's name before? Not...

Careful not to miss the point. "Idols" by definition refers to things "of nought, good for nothing, worthless." Consider that God has created man--even the Son of man, from the same elements He referred to as being "emptiness, void, waste", as a mere "image" of God. Thus, if one were to ask...

Kudos to you for your endeavors on this topic! It is written that before the end of this would be world and reality, "in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets." Revelation 10:7...

I'm not sure I follow what you have laid out there. But I do follow "first to the Jew, then to the Greek (gentile)" and "the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual."

Indeed, we gentiles are no better than Israel. They had the evidence of more obvious miracles, but we have more information and confirmation of what was and is to come--"first the natural and afterward the spiritual." But like you say, many still look for an earthly temple, a worldly kingdom...
