Well when I use logic and common sense I end up with a different conclusion. I guess your common sense is different to mine! :confused: Note that verse 46 says that first we have a natural body, but then afterwards (after our resurrection) we will have a spiritual body. But nowhere does Paul...

I don't see that in my browser (Firefox).

You cannot logically make that deduction from the Scriptures. Thomas saw and touched his flesh body after his resurrection (but that was just a similar looking body, not the same one)! The Scripture says: Psalms 16:10 (WEB): (10) For you will not leave my soul in Sheol, neither will you...

His body was not transformed from a dead physical flesh and bones body into a spiritual body, any more than our human bodies will be transformed into a spirit being body. Our bodies will disintegrate (dust to dust), and God will give us a completely new spirit body (which is not a physical...

I see the simple text indentation feature is also no longer available. I liked to use that when quoting Scripture, to highlight it from the normal text.

I do believe Paul! What I wrote was in total agreement with what Paul wrote. The last (perfect man) Adam, i.e. Jesus, was made a life-giving spirit being at his resurrection. He is no longer a man. First he was a man, then he was made an immortal spirit being. Jesus sacrificed his human...

When you hovered the cursor over a Bible reference in a post then it would pop up that verse, or verses, from the ASV Bible so that you could quickly and easily see what it says. It was a very useful feature that I, and I'm sure many others, used a lot.

2 Corinthians 5:16-17 (WEB): (16) Therefore we know no one after the flesh from now on. Even though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now we know him so no more. (17) Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have...

Transfigured? The only time Jesus was transfigured Jesus told his disciples that they had seen a vision (not reality) - Matthew 17:9 (KJV): (9) And as they came down from the mountain, Jesus charged them, saying, Tell the vision to no man, until the Son of man be risen again from the dead...

That is not referring to the resurrection of the Church, the first resurrection. The following apply to partakers of the first resurrection: 2 Corinthians 5:17 (WEB): (17) Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become...

But that was Jesus showing them the hands and feet of the human body that he temporarily formed to convince Thomas that he had indeed been resurrected to life again. He didn't show them his spiritual body. That human body disintegrated once he had finished with it; later he appeared to seven...

Where does it say that in the Bible? How can a spiritual body have the scars of a physical human body? As verse 31 says: (31) he foreseeing this spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that his soul wasn’t left in Hades, and his flesh didn’t see decay. It's saying that his soul wasn't...

Why did you miss out verse 26?: (26) After eight days again his disciples were inside, and Thomas was with them. Jesus came, the doors being locked, and stood in the middle, and said, “Peace be to you.” Can a human being materialise out of thin air into the middle of a room? Can a human body...

The NWT does not contain the word hell. It also does not say that Jesus is God. You should read it sometime. :rolleyes:

I've already quoted it in previous posts. If you can't remember it then you just have to hover the mouse cursor over the reference and it will pop up the verse from the ASV. It's not that difficult for you to read it. The NWT is almost identical to the ASV and other translations. It says...

So do you think that God used a figure of speech in Daniel 12:2, in which case you are now accusing God of being a Jehovah's Witness and twisting His own words? :rolleyes: Or do you take God literally and believe that there have been people sleeping buried in the ground (dust of earth) for...

How can a dead person, whose body has decomposed to dust (i.e. it no longer exists), "sleep in the dust of the earth" and then "awake" "to everlasting life"? Those were God's words to Daniel (Daniel 12:2). God uses an analogy, to help explain what it will be like for dead people - he was not...

As I have said before, I have never been to a Kingdom Hall. Why do you keep making such stupid remarks? Are you saying that God is so weak and incompetent that it will take him forever to destroy a person? The Bible indicates otherwise. Everlasting destruction is not destruction at all!

No I don't admit that! As Daniel 12:2 which says "those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake" is descibing death as a sleep, so likewise I wrote that eternal death is like an eternal sleep - there will be no waking up from it. The last verse I quoted also describes the punishment as...

And verse 46 says: (46) These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” The righteous will have eternal life, the unrighteous will therefore not have eternal life. The punishment of the unrighteous is death, eternal death (Romans 6:23). When someone is cast...
