indeed the truth

Where is it stated in scripture that anyones body would of necessity performing that function.

As I stated earlier spirits don't have a body so, one cannot view what another does not have. the fact that Christ specifically proves to viewers that he is not simply spirit but has flesh and bone and can eat would mean that all of man will resurrect from the dead with their bodies flesh and...

You can use whatever methodology works for getting the intent across. As long as I can show the relevant scriptures along with the description of what the intended meaning is then how we get from point A to B is an open area. A commandment of God is an assertion of his will. My asserting the...

It seems that there are several people who hold a belief that Christ has stopped existing as a flesh and spirit being. Here is the thread to discuss it.

It would seem that the question posed by this thread has again become sidetracked so I will begin another thread so everyone can discuss the spirit vs. physical body of Christ

Actually you do not which was my point. The scripture does not assert that you will become a spirit or a spirit without a body as some are trying to infer from it. I invite you to reference any scripture that appears to assert that we will become spirits without a body.

Both statements are assertions of truth since we have free will we can choose to go either way. Both are assertion of fact if you know the biblical account is God's word. For those who do not accept the biblical word as anything of value then there is no meaning in it for them thus, faith is the...

The only descriptor used by witnesses of the transfiguration was light being emitted by the body and clothes right? No other description was given so there can be no assumption that there was any other change to the flesh than that and as I have already pointed out Moses exhibited the same type...

Indeed most people don't know what the exact defining points of transfiguring are but, if we go by what was written about transfiguration in Matthew 17:1–8, the bodies that were witnessed (Christ, Moses and Elijah) were reported as having been observed by Peter, James and John with their eyes...

So let's examine the problems you think are occurring. First "there is some other "place" to physically exist" When Christ was resurrected he specifically told Mary not to touch him since he had not yet ascended to the father right? So that means he is physical since he could be touched right...

By all means reference scripture for any point you would like to make.

Welcome to the free for all game of how far can we twist the meaning of God's word

Where is this written in scripture that he was not the head of his body? He did not come into his glory at the resurrection. Evidence as usual from scripture; John 20 She turned and said to Him, “Rabboni!” (which is to say, Teacher). 17 Jesus said to her, “Do not cling to Me, for I have not...

Definition of assertion : the act of asserting or something that is asserted: such as a : insistent and positive affirming, maintaining, or defending (as of a right or attribute) an assertion of ownership/innocence b : a declaration that something is the case He presented no evidence to...

According to scripture if we do not believe he is a resurrected man then we are anti-Christian since the entirety of his message revolves around his sacrifice in the flesh for our sins and the subsequent reanimation of his corpse so that he can be the one "man" who is the mediator between us and...

The assumption being that he cannot spiritually inhabit his own body and be within us at the same time?

Easy enough I would say. I can even make a couple of them; Matthew 22:37 ...Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. 39 Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself.

Really? What then were the apostles? What about all those who came to him during his ministry upon the earth? Where does it state that the body of Christ began after he ascended? In order to make assertions you need to have a foundation in scripture.

What other lesson can be ascribed to the doubting Thomas scenario? The absolute entirety of Christ appearing to Thomas was to prove to him that he was in his body and was resurrected. You assert that Christ was transfigured after that. Ok what was different about him from when he appeared to...
