That is not what I said......I said that their scripture did not teach that humans have an immortal soul.....that idea was adopted by the Jews from the pagan Greeks....Christendom adopted it too because humans do not want to believe that death is the opposite of life. Was Adam told that he had an immortal soul that would go to hell if he disobeyed? (Gen 2:17; 3:19)Yes they believed in an immortal soul!
When you invent doctrines, you have to invent other doctrines to support them. The Roman church invented hellfire and purgatory and even limbo to cover that lie.
Jesus never once mentioned an “immortal soul”. Find me one verse in the Bible that tells us that the human soul is immortal. The meaning of the word “soul” makes that impossible. That word never means a disembodied spirit.
You seem to discount the power of Satan’s first lie.....he is the one who told the woman “you surely will not die” and by removing the penalty of sin, introduced death when Adam joined her.
Spirit beings do not have blood, which is why Jesus needed to come into the world through a human mother. He sacrificed his blood to atone for our sin.....so, to take back the body he sacrificed, would cancel it out. For spirit beings, materialising is the ability to organise matter into human form. Who came to Abraham to tell him about the birth of his son Isaac? Three men who ate and drank and after they had delivered their message, two of them went on to rescue Lot and his family from Sodom. These ate and drank at Lot’s house and the depraved residents of Sodom wanted to rape them. They were angels in human form.And why did Jesus say this? Because He wanted thetm to see He physically rose from the dead. The normal saying people use is flesh and blood, but Jesus used flesh and bone! Why do you suppose He intentionally said it that particular way!
It is not just the fact that he appeared, (John 20:19 tells that he “appeared” to his disciples in a locked room) but Luke tells us that he also “disappeared” right in front of their eyes.No where in Scripture does it say Jesus "materialized bodies as He needed them
Appeared? Now you are simply playing word games to try to support a false doctrine. Jesus physically rose as the word means!
Luke 24: 30-31....
“And as he was dining with them, he took the bread, blessed it, broke it, and began handing it to them. 31 At that their eyes were fully opened and they recognized him; but he disappeared from them.“
Can a flesh and blood human simply disappear from a room full of people? No, but a spirit being can.
Or it is talking about something you cannot refute. If Jesus was raised in the same body that died, was he still scarred by the events that were inflicted by the Romans before his execution? Was he raised with the wounds of his torture or would his God have raised him healed of them? Who was afflicted with any kind of illness or disability that Jesus did not heal? Would God do less?Now you are making a fuss about teh wounds which is a tempest in a teapot.
Exactly.....what is mortal must “put on” immortality...only at their resurrection can Jehovah give the elect the right body to enter heaven. A physical body cannot exist outside of earth’s atmosphere....this is where “souls” were designed to live. All souls are mortal. To become immortal they have to have immortal bodies given to them, which is what being “born again” really means. Born of flesh the first time, born of the spirit upon their resurrection to heaven. A spirit body is still a body.No because it is the blood that is required for the removal of sins as it is written. That is why Jesus said to Thomas "flesh and bones". As the first fruit of the resurrection He modelled the body all believers will have in both heaven and earth. Remember Paul said this corruption must put on incorruption and this mortal must put on immortality.
Why do you cuddle Christendom and accept her lies as truth? You believe them...right?So why do you cuddle with teh Watchtower. they do not bring the teachings of JOhm, Peter, Paul or Jesus in the critical areas.
Who says that what you believe is right and my beliefs are wrong? Jesus will tell us all very soon I think.
Look back at the history of “the church” after the first century and you will see exactly when the scriptures were corrupted by human ideas and formulated doctrines that redefined everything that Jesus taught....Anything that redefines and/or contradicts Scripture must be rejected at all costs! and that supposed "faithful and discreet slave" has done so numerous times!
Go back into your own history and see when it began, and how you were sold a bill of goods by the devil who fed men lies and told them it was truth. Jesus said it was to be expected.....why do you doubt him?
No true worshipper of Jehovah would touch Christmas with a barge pole. It is like celebrating pagan corruption with the devil.People are disfellowshipped if they are caught quietly celebrating christmas!
The “faithful slave” exists because Jesus is the one who chose this slave as part of the end time prophesies.....and he gave him his instructions....so who is he to you? Why do you think his identity was put in the form of a question? (Matt24:45)People are disfellowshipped for accepting the bible as written and not reinterpreted by the faithful and discreet slave! Look up in the archives of the Watchtower if you do not believe me! the Watchtower has reserved for itself like the roman church did to interpret the bible as they see fit.
History disagrees with you....”by their fruits” Jesus said we would recognize his true disciples....because they would be out “doing” what God commanded through his son. (Matt 7:21-23) The preaching work is what separates the true Christians from the pretenders....Jesus said he would back this work as a global exercise, warning people like Noah did. (Matthew 24:37-39) Why are all the churches noted for NOT carrying out the great commission? (Matt 28:19-20; Matt 24:14) They are MIA as they have always been. Up to their necks in politics and currying “friendship with the world” by supporting its bloody conflicts. (James 4:4)And Just as Romanism, they said to contradict them is grounds for removal and they only as the organization have the right to understand the bible and feed it to the people. The WT took the most evil parts of Rome during the dark ages and use them for their own leaders.
No Christian can have blood on their hands. (Matt 5:43-44; Isa 1:15)
Christendom’s record is one of shame, not pride. Jesus will decide who are doing as he instructed.
