Well He was unrecognized by Mary for she at first thought He was the gardener. He was unrecognized by the disciples on the road to Emmaus, because they were kept from recognizing Him until the breaking of bread, so that is an irrelavent argument.
YOu and Barney have failed to biblically prove that Jesus taking back His body as he said He would nullifies the sacrifice.
It was His blood that had to be shed for the remission of sins as I showed you by 20 bible verses. You give me just alot of human reasoning from the Watchtower that has no basis of Scripture.
As for Thomas you are just conjecturing without proof. that is spiritual arrogance. As for appearing through locked doors? does that mean He was a spirit when He walked on water? No human can do that, especially in a strong storm!
But you and Barney both fail to acknowledge or try to refute the bible when Jesus said this:
John 2:18-22
King James Version
18 Then answered the Jews and said unto him, What sign shewest thou unto us, seeing that thou doest these things?
19 Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up.
20 Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days?
21 But he spake of the temple of his body.
22 When therefore he was risen from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this unto them; and they believed the scripture, and the word which Jesus had said.
See verse 21? Jesus spoke of His body!!! Not HIs Spirit(pneuma) but body (soma) when Jesus was resurrected the disciples believed the Scriptures , imagine that the old testament speaks of His bodily resurrection!
Also you both fail to address the fact that the word resurrection (ana-stasis) a standing again, means something that was laid down standing again! Are you saying Jesus died as an invisible spirit creature and sttod up again as an invisible spirit creature.
I know you are confused because of watchtower teaching and reinterpreting the Scripture that says this:
Peter 3:18
For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:.
they teach you man has no soul but is a soul and man has no immortal spirit as well as His immortal soul and at the resurrection all will have immortal bodies. but these lies run contrary to the simple plain Word of God and have to be shown through slick manipulation of Gods Word and even rewriting Scripture and commanding you to not listen to anyone who contradicts their control of the congregations! these men will recieve their eternal torment if they do not recant these lies!
If you understood that when Jesus appeared to Thomas He said something that most people fail to see the significance of.
Luke 24:39
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
We all say flesh and blood! even the Jews used this very common idiom of language. Jesus did not. I do not believe Jesus was careless with any word He spoke! He shed all His blood and was quickened by the spirit and in the spirit! He was reanimated in His body by the Father, HImself and the Spirit as the firstfruits of the resurrection that is promised to all (not just 144,000) who trust in His death and physical resurrection alone as the full payment for their sin.
He was put to deat a mere man but raised in that body that is glorified and immortal
