1. The average Christian was called a Saint throughout the NT. Catholics and a few others like to have ranks and positions separating people, but in the Bible the people follow wrong Christ are saints.
2. Mark 12:27 He is not the God of the dead, but the God of the living: ye therefore do...
Jesus was a corresponding ransom for Adam ( flesh and blood ) Adam was to keep his blood forever.
Flesh and blood ( notice the word 'flesh' ) at 1 Corinthians 15:50 because it says 'flesh' can Not inherit the kingdom.
It would seem odd for a physical body not to have flesh.
Plus, remember...
this is a recent article from Jw.org i'd like to share. The Watchtower, being a bible based organisation, uses the bible to answer the question Has Anyone Ever Seen God?
The Bible’s answer
No human has literally seen God. (Exodus 33:20; John 1:18; 1 John 4:12) The Bible says that “God is a...
It is something I thought I remembered from years ago. Do you really think that Jesus went and preached to angel?
Yes these WT errors extend over a number of areas of doctrine. But of course whether we have a spirit or not does not change the fact of Jesus rising bodily from the dead as the...
A mistake Brian?
Are you in the habit of making up stuff about JWs, and then calling it a mistake?
Why should I accept that you made a mistake?
Is it not, rather the case that you are the buisness of garbage collection and disposal, since wherever you are getting this stuff from, is obviously...
Conjecture. There’s not a single verse in the whole Bible where God Himself or His prophet, Jesus, said, or even implied, that Jesus has a dual nature.
You mean, that’s the only way to make people believe in nonsense without having to explain why God or His prophet, Jesus never preach it ?? Ok...
Jesus was the Son of God incarnated. Contradictions: Greater Than or Equal To?

No. Unlike you, I can quote several.
(Genesis 2:17) . . .But as for the tree of the knowledge of good and bad, you must not eat from it, for in the day you eat from it you will certainly die.”

Romans 8:23, ". . . waiting for the adoption, to wit...
Great!
Not at all.
Revelation needs to be understood in light of other scriptures actually.
Interesting.
Your statement suggest that you know that there are not two destinations, or two groups that make up one flock, so let's look at that then.
I posted a number of scriptures from both the...
I very much appreciate that you want to be clear. I believe that's very important in good conversation, and discussion.
Yes, Evidently, you misunderstood me, but I believe this is due to how you are seeing spirit.
The Bible says God is a spirit. John 4:23, 24
The Bible also says, angels are...

The theme, of focus - the topic : The resurrection.
Agreed so far?
Verse 35
How will the dead be raised up, some might ask. A question.

From what I remember, the book that I was referencing was released 2 years ago and the gathering if the anointed in the Great Tribulation was new light. So I wouldn't want to go to a 1988 book to confirm such as it has a lot of outdated understanding by the group.

Remember: 1 Corinthians 15:50 that ' flesh....' (physical ) can Not inherit the kingdom.....

I agree with both of you. There is little evidence of a rapture event in scripture. There's a good article about this that I found here:
The Rapture: A Popular but False Doctrine
Here's some snippets:
"For such a seemingly major doctrine, one might expect a weighty argument, but this is what...
Heaven:
Matthew 5:19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. 20 For I tell you that unless...
Thank you for your reply.
I find at Acts of the Apostles 22:6-9 that Paul saw a 'great light' around him speaking.
Those with Paul saw the flashing light, but only Paul understood Jesus' voice.
Continue reading at Acts of the Apostles 9:7-8 Paul (Saul) saw No man.
At Acts of the Apostles...
Paul's specific apperance is shown to be different in Acts. However, even then, Paul makes clear that he saw Jesus, not just heard Him, in 1 Corinthians 9:1 and 1 Corinthians 15:8. Furthermore, the author of Acts also writes in Luke 24:39 that when Jesus appeared risen, He said, "Behold My hands...
That's good. The more you use it, the better you will get at it.
Sorry to respond so late. I had a little business to take care of.

Just wanted to ask.....If Christ was resurrected in the same body that was offered in sacrifice, then how could he take it back? That body was sacrificed and God disposed of it, (just as he disposed of Moses' body in a place where no one could find it. Deuteronomy 34:5)
Acts 2:29-3 and Psalm...
