I'm not chasing the rabbit of "Waco, you have no faith."
Till answer your questions. But not tonight.
If you have faith, it's not in the Jesus of the bible. It's in your own watered down version of him.
I watered down the good news of Jesus Christ The Son of God? He died on a cross for us and lives again and loves you and me. He died a Death on behalf of love for us is not watered down what part of my statement is not the Jesus of the Bible?
Do you believe Jesus is alive right now?
Of course
Thanks. So you would agree then he does possess some supernatural abilities I take it?
No not supernatural but spiritual. He walks with daily.
So it's not supernatural to be resurrected and be alive today despite being over 2,000 years old?
Perhaps I should seek some clarification regarding what you mean by Christ is "alive." Do you mean he is living, breathing and walking - as in the traditional definition of "alive"?
Or do you mean something more esoteric, like he's not actually physically living, but is alive in people's minds and hearts?
If it's the latter, couldn't we say that about all our loved ones who have passed - they are alive "spiritually" in our minds and hearts?
Paul answers your question
But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. 39 Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. 40 There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. 41 The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.
42 So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43 it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. I Corinthians 15.
Jesus was raised as a spiritual and He transcends time and space in his love for us. Do you Christ's love? I do. Many wonderful people in life shared the Word with me and I believed .
You believe Jesus was raised in spirit but not in physical body. If that is true, then what do you think of
Jesus' own words in the gospel of Luke, when he appeared to his disciples after his resurrection, recorded in chapter 24:
"As they were talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, "Peace to you!" But they were startled and frightened and thought they saw a spirit. And he said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have."So, here you are, thinking Jesus' resurrection was in spirit and not physical, much like what the scared disciples thought when they first saw him. But then, here is JESUS HIMSELF correcting them(AND YOU) saying he had a physical body, and that he was NOT a spirit! The disciples were even able to touch him and his crucifixion wounds. Jesus even ate food in their presence.
You believe in Jesus, don't you? I mean, you said so yourself.
So why don't you believe him here? Was Jesus wrong about himself? Is the gospel of Luke a lie?
Kinda strange to say you believe in Jesus, but then strongly believe something that Jesus himself DIRECTLY CONTRADICTS, isn't it?
Your thoughts?
