Hey, Regarding the "Resurrection" thing and the WT denial of the Mt 27:51-53 incident...

by FragrantAddendum in

so according to bible.

elisha's bones were there when jehovah resurrected some other dude.

jesus could heal from a distance by power of god.

FragrantAddendum

KalebOutWest: "The Greek word "resurrection" does not mean to come back to life as a spirit person after death. The word means "to stand up, again," as in "physically.""

KalebOutWest: "The text does not use the word "resurrection."
Matthew 27:52 reads:
καὶ πολλὰ σώματα τῶν κεκοιμημένων ἁγίων ἠγέρθησαν
And many bodies of the sleeping saints rose
The word "resurrection" does not occur."

The word "saints" was not used in the original.

while some english translations there read "saints" the pentecost pouring out of holy spirit hadn't happened yet

none of the jews were anointed yet so they weren't "saints"

jesus hadn't ascended to heaven yet

the jews who were resurrected as referred to in mt 27:52 are called ἁγίων

ἁγίων is better translated "holy ones"

that the jews believed in two kinds of resurrections is clear from the scriptures

i'm not arguing with you, @kaleb, i agree on the standing again thing in the flesh

the resurrections that elijah and elisha did were not some kind of "spirit thing" they were of flesh and blood people

that's why when jesus came back it was something different that hadn't been done before and hasn't been done since

no one had ever been resurrected as a spirit creature

and no one else has since

jesus materialized a body in order to show he'd been resurrected

none of the other "saints" have done that because none of them have been resurrected

the wt teaching that the 144,000 are already resurrected since 1914 or 1918 or whatever they're teaching these days is false

the mt 27 thing where it says the bodies came out of the graves and were seen was a flesh and blood resurrection like the ones elijah and elisha did - they weren't "spirits" who appeared like ghosts or something

the ra is underway and there is a common thread through the first day.

they have a "presenter" who comes across as an educated historian handling early bible fragments and translations as if he knows what he's doing.

the impression given is that he is an unassailable font of all knowledge, with his rich scottish accent he prints himself as across as professor gravitas.. i find this disturbing, we have no idea who he is or what if any his qualifications are to speak such with authority.

FragrantAddendum

he sounds irish to me

are you talking about this guy?

some jews were faithful

some jews were apostates

there is nothing new under the sun

the faithful jews, like mary and martha and lazarus, knew that the dead waited asleep in the grave

the patriachs are still asleep in the grave

no one ascended to heaven yet at that point, not even jesus

but some of the faithful jews who had recently died were resurrected when jesus died (although they did die again, just like lazarus did)

some of those faithful jews were later present at the pentecost meeting and became part of the 144,000 anointed ones

those faithful jews died and still await their resurrection

no one has been resurrected to heaven at this point except jesus

there are no witnesses to any other "spirit" type resurrection except his

avise la fin

perhaps time will tell

"wisdom is proved by its children"

perhaps he has a degree, but if you are disturbed, you could just block your ears

I find this disturbing, we have no idea who he is or what if any his qualifications are to speak such with authority. So, does any one know who he is or where he has appeared from. Is he a fraud or is he educated?"

many "ra ra ra ra raah" are caught in spiritual prostitution, aka, "a bad romance"

it's a babylon thing

(not my bag, baby)

but same idea as what wt does

always a good idea to get out of those kinds of relationships

("get out of her, my people!")

if you know what i mean

ah so you subscribe to the wt "two witnesses" thing

where if you don't personally hear it from people who were there

it must not have

happened

(it's 27 not 25)

i feel like i've heard that before

somewhere

...anyway...

the point wasn't about the truth of the bible

it was about wt claiming to teach truth

and how they just make stuff up as they go

and aren't consistent
