It would be the body of Christ, composed of all those who truly believe in Him.

What exactly do you disagree with? Now, actually you have failed the test of 1 John 4:1-3 and 2 John 1:7. The scriptures teach that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh; and the prevailing thought on this is that He is a Man sitting on the right hand of the throne of the Lord. 2Pe 1:20, Knowing...

All I'm saying is that if you were here to attempt to convert any of us to what you believe...I don't see anything wrong with that. It is dialogue in the long run that will bring us to a consensus on what it is that the Bible actually teaches. If we want to have unity of doctrine; both...

I have nothing to say at the present moment...and I think that this, in itself, proves that I am not "riled up." For if I were "riled up", I would be talking up a storm. I also have somewhere to go in a few moments; and will be back to the computer later today.

Amen.

Fighting over doctrine is one thing...hashing it out in order to come to the proper conclusion is another.

I am in no sense "riled up".

He has both come in the flesh, will come again in the flesh, and is now in the flesh, a Man sitting on the right hand of the throne of God. Agree or disagree?

He certainly has a right to be here and try to convert us...and we also have the right to try to convert him while he is here. I don't think that the Lord is afraid of dissenting opinions. His word is sufficient to give us all the truth; so that if we seek the truth and will submit to the...

I'm certain that there is some insight that you have gotten out of putting those verses together, @GISMYS_7; but what that insight is escapes me. Would you care to tell us what it is and how you came to your conclusion?

Jesus told us to receive Him (John 1:12) and that into our hearts (Colossians 1:27, 1 John 5:12). How can we do that unless He is a Spirit? I am not saying that Jesus hasn't or isn't come in the flesh. I am saying that the 2nd and 3rd Persons of the Trinity (for the purposes of our...

How do you get that from anything I have even said?

See Hebrews 3:7-8, Hebrews 3:15, Hebrews 4:7. Sometimes we can be in denial about the authority of a teacher or prophet because we ourselves don't like what has been spoken by them. But the only faithful response when this happens in us is to begin to seek the Lord; and to ask Him if what they...

But you appear to be denying that He is come in the flesh in that He is a Man sitting on the right hand of the throne of God. What does it mean that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh, except that He is a human being like us? To deny this is to fail the test of 1 John 4:1-3, 2 John 1:7.

The law of the Lord is something that is eternally set in the heavens; and it exists as a standard even when it is not known to the person violating it...sin is not imputed where there is no law...however, sin is still a reality where there is no law, and the wages of sin is death...so death...

Really...the Holy Spirit works through people.

That is not written except perhaps maybe in some gnostic writings. Jesus is in the flesh right now (1 John 4:1-3, 2 John 1:7); and when He returns He is not converting to a spiritual body.

On the contrary, it is written, Gal 3:23, But before faith came, we were kept under the law, shut up unto the faith which should afterwards be revealed. This scripture indicates that those who do not have faith in Christ are under the law, whether Jew or Gentile. It is not a right; it is a...

That is pretty heavy... But I would say that if he trusted in the gospel (found in 1 Corinthians 15:1-4); which is not foreign to Catholic theology (although it is diverted from by doctrines about Mary and the saints; as well as by the false doctrine of salvation by works); that he would have...

Yes...and of course He is coming back in a physical, human body. Because He is sitting on the right hand of the throne of God in a physical, human body.
