What some people saw was Jesus rising to a cloud, beyond their sight, in a physical body. They assumed that that meant that Jesus rose to heaven in a physical body.Paul listed many people who saw the risen Lord Jesus Christ (1Co15:5-8KJV), do you believe that He rose bodily from the dead? 1st Corinthians 15:14 (KJV)
Do you believe in a physical, literal, bodily resurrection of Jesus?[Jesus' bodily ascension] 1 Corinthians 15 King James Version (KJV) 35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? 44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven
Do you reject that he is the creator and we are his creation? Jn 1:1-3Authentic Christians differ in no way from Jesus Christ (except that he is Lord of all)...
[Jesus] He spoke in parables that those without ears to hear would remain deaf...
Jesus came in a human physical, earthly, flesh and blood, 'seen' and temporal, son of man body.
Do you believe in a physical, literal, bodily resurrection of Jesus?
[Do you believe in a physical, literal, bodily resurrection of Jesus?] For me the following is true...
Do you reject the humanity of Jesus? Was he/is he 100% man and 100% God? Jn 1:1-3
It's a yes or no question (Eph 4:14). :chz4brnz: Do you believe in a physical, literal, bodily resurrection of Jesus?
As a reminder is number 10 on Satan, Inc. (TOL Heretics list) in the Misc. category. :burnlib:
Nothing an actual Christan dies is for reward.The physical, 'seen', earthly, flesh and blood and temporal son of man Jesus was simply a man.
There were two presentations of Jesus.
1. One was the physical, 'seen', earthly, flesh and blood and temporal son of man Jesus who is not the Lord in heaven. This is the first man from earth.
2. The other is the Spirit, 'not seen' and eternal, Son of God Jesus Who is the Lord from and in, heaven. This is the second man who is the Lord from and in, heaven
1 Corinthians 15 King James Version (KJV)
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven
The physical, 'seen' earthly, flesh and blood and temporal son of man Jesus who is not the Lord in heaven is not at all equal to God, the Holy Spirit.
Also, the physical, 'seen' earthly, flesh and blood and temporal son of man Jesus who is not the Lord in heaven is not that consequential. One can blaspheme this son of man, Jesus and one shall be forgiven.
Matthew: 12 King James Version (KJV)
32 And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world, neither in the world to come.
The physical, 'seen' earthly, flesh and blood, temporal son of man Jesus who is not the Lord in heaven was a man. He was created/made a little lower than an angel. This is to be made a man. Indeed a very high expression of a man. And so be it:
Hebrews: 2 KJV N.T.
9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
Becoming an angel is the next upward step that a man can achieve. One seek to a Christian (one of the chosen few) in this life so that when one die one can become an angel in heaven:
Mark: 12 King James Version (KJV)
25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.
An angel is simply a being who is a little higher that a man. Therefore to be made a little lower than an angel is to be made a man.
The physical, 'seen' earthly, flesh and blood, temporal son of man Jesus who is not the Lord in heaven was created/made a little lower that an angel, therefore he was created/made a man.
The Spirit, 'not seen' and eternal, Son of God Jesus is quite different. He is the Lord from and in, heaven. The Spirit, 'not seen' and eternal, Son of God Jesus is equal to all thing due to the Holy Spirit, Who is His Father.
The Spirit, 'not seen' and eternal, Son of God Jesus is the pore Son of God, the Holy Spirit.
The physical, 'seen' earthly, flesh and blood, temporal son of man Jesus is not the pure son of God, the Holy Spirit, at best he was half the son of man and half the Son of God, the Holy Spirit.
To be half the son of man and half the Son of God is to be a little lower than an angel. This is to be highest expression of man. This is to be a child of God on earth.
The sad fact is that some humans are simply 99% man and only 1% God. These are the dead who bury their dead'. They are children of the flesh.
It's a yes or no question (Eph 4:14). :chz4brnz: The baby born in the manger was not 100% God?[Do you reject the humanity of Jesus? Was he/is he 100% man and 100% God? Jn 1:1-3] ...The physical, 'seen', earthly, flesh and blood and temporal son of man Jesus was simply a man.
There aren't two gospels.The following confirms that All Truth come only from the Spirit of Truth:
John: 16 King James Version (KJV)
7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you.
12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
13 Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
Jesus is the truth:
John: 14 King James Version (KJV)
6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.
Therefore the Spirit of Truth is the Spirit of Jesus.
Fact is only Paul communed with the Spirit of Jesus/Spirit of Truth (i.e. on the road to Damascus) Peter did not commune with the Spirit of Jesus/Spirit of Truth.
Therefore only Paul got All Truth (which come only through live communion with the Spirit of Jesus/Spirit of Truth). Peter did not have this communion. Therefore Peter was not privy to any truth.
Why listen to Peter?
What a mess. lain:At any event, where indeed, did you get the idea of 'a physical, literal, bodily resurrection of Jesus'? You are making that up.
No such thing is mentioned in the Holy KJV N.T. That is purely anti-Christ rhetoric being corruptly passed-out as Christianity, by false prophets.
There aren't two gospels.
What a mess. lain:
Ro1:4(KJV) Ro4:24(KJV) Ro6:4(KJV) Ro6:9(KJV) Ro8:11(KJV) Ro8:34(KJV) Ro10:9(KJV) Ro14:9(KJV) 1Co6:14(KJV) 1Co15:4(KJV) 2Cor4:14(KJV) 2Co5:15(KJV) Gal1:1(KJV) Eph1:20(KJV) Col2:12(KJV) 1Th1:10(KJV) 1Th4:14(KJV) 2Ti2:8(KJV) Heb13:20(KJV) 1Pt1:3(KJV) 1Pt1:21(KJV) Rev1:18(KJV)Indeed true . . . but prophesied and therefore expected.
Truth and Christianity are only for the chosen few.
A billion strong traditional/mainstream Christians cannot be a chosen few.
A billion people cannot be the few who found the straight gate and narrow way:
Matthew: 7 King James Version (KJV)
14 Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it.
However, the sad fact is that what passed for Christianity are the ideas of a billion strong traditional/mainstream Christians because:
Matthew: 24 King James Version (KJV)
11 And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many.
Clearly, therefore, what passes for Christianity must be 'a mess' . . . a total 'mess'. .
It was all prophesied and therefore unavoidable.
