Where is your head covering? WOMAN! (It's ok, you're allowed to teach here)

That is funny. She could indeed be wearing one......so courtesy and respect would require a photo shop hankie on her mane.

But since you are up, and defending the Unitarian view of the society, How do you deal with scriptures such as John 2:19?

In answer Jesus said to them: "Break down this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."

The next verse shows the temple Jesus was referring to was his body.

I don't need the WT standard guff, just a simple explanation of how it would be possible for him to do that.....being dead and all.

Jehovah resurrected him, but Jesus himself had to rouse himself up into a standing position

Wow.. head coverings. I completely forgot about that - freaking sexist white-supremacist religion.

Its actually a good thing that I forgot. The sexist/elitist witness brain patterns are starting to fade away into forgotteness. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

If The Bible Is The Word Of God... then we must learn what it says, even about "head coverings". They apparently remind the angels of their need of subjecting themselves to Jehovah God's direction in all matters.

So if I understand you, Jesus was part "spirit/angel" and part "man". A man with the "spirit" of an angel. Wouldn't that make him an angel/human hybred?

spike, read Corinthians again. Perhaps you will see Paul was refuting a false teaching about head coverings.

I am not quite clear on what you are saying, ie He was raised in some disembodied way and then reconstructed his own body? Or it was "God" who raised his Temple/body?

Anyways, a Very convenient "original" WT answer that ensures the continued acceptance of their viewpoint. But it fails to deal honestly with the situation that brought about the statement.

I know it is a dirty word for Dubs, but contextually, Jesus had the verbal skills to ask them to respect his Fathers house, but dubs argue that in his next breath he didn't have the courtesy to give due credit for his future resurrection to the Father?

Such a gymnastical interpretation begs the question of why make such a statement, if you are a perfect man/angel, that was sure not to be understood by your audience (even disciples until much later)?

The more "Christlike" and truthful statement would then be "God" (since there is absolutely no evidence that Jesus ever called the father Jehober) would raise up this "Temple" (Jesus' body).

To give credit to himself even in a diminutive way would be out of character, even a dub would have to admit that

He would not have been branded a heretic, because who of those Jews would challenge God's ability to do it, nor would people today have anything to debate about as to who was who.

I appreciate your attempt at a response but perhaps you could enlighten us further or refute the above.
