A side note carried over from the last thread.
I had written: ↑
"Then you had no need to even bring up John 20. And, no, I do not believe that Jesus has a physical body now. These are no longer the "days of His flesh". Hebrews 5:7. Hebrews 2:14-18 helps us to understand the purpose and duration of those "days of the flesh"."
John of Japan answered:
"This is unorthodox, mistaken, un-Scriptural, and absolutely wrong. No orthodox or conservative or fundamental theologian believes this."
Notice: I give Bible passages as my authority. Unanswered. John, you give theologians as your authority. This is why so many are misled in their theology. They use human authorities as their main authority.
I was in a hurry, but felt I must say something about your false doctrine.
You want Scripture? There is a ton of Scripture promising a resurrection of the dead. A resurrection means a body. That is undisputable. You saying that Christ no longer has a physical body is false doctrine, just as bad as your full preterism, which denies a physical second coming of Christ (a fundamental of the faith). You are a modern Sadducee to deny that there is a physical resurrection our bodies or that Christ no longer has a physical body. (By the way, when and how did Christ lose His physical body? There's nothing in Scripture about such an event--you are making it up.)
Scriptures which teach a resurrection, and thus that we will have physical bodies:
Mt 22:28 Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her.
Mt 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
Lu 20:35 But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
Joh 5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Joh 11:24 Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day.
Joh 11:25 Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live:
Ac 4:2 Being grieved that they taught the people, and preached through Jesus the resurrection from the dead.
Ac 17:32 And when they heard of the resurrection of the dead, some mocked: and others said, We will hear thee again of this [matter].
Ac 23:6 But when Paul perceived that the one part were Sadducees, and the other Pharisees, he cried out in the council, Men [and] brethren, I am a Pharisee, the son of a Pharisee: of the hope and resurrection of the dead I am called in question.
Ac 23:8 For the Sadducees say that there is no resurrection, neither angel, nor spirit: but the Pharisees confess both.
Ac 24:15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
Ac 24:21 Except it be for this one voice, that I cried standing among them, Touching the resurrection of the dead I am called in question by you this day.
Ro 6:5 For if we have been planted together in the likeness of his death, we shall be also [in the likeness] of [his] resurrection:
1Co 15:13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
1Co 15:21 For since by man [came] death, by man [came] also the resurrection of the dead.
1Co 15:42 So also [is] the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
Php 3:11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
2Ti 2:18 Who concerning the truth have erred, saying that the resurrection is past already; and overthrow the faith of some.
Heb 11:35 Women received their dead raised to life again: and others were tortured, not accepting deliverance; that they might obtain a better resurrection:
1Pe 3:21 The like figure whereunto [even] baptism doth also now save us (not the putting away of the filth of the flesh, but the answer of a good conscience toward God,) by the resurrection of Jesus Christ:
Re 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished. This [is] the first resurrection.
Re 20:6 Blessed and holy [is] he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
