Correction!! “By means of him [Jehovah] we have the release by ransom through the blood of that one [Jesus Christ], yes, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his [Jehovah God's] undeserved kindness.”—Ephesia ns 1:7 (1 hr ago | post #20096)

So, you said that you are the body of the Christ in the flesh and blood? You got to be kidding right? There was only one use of blood that God ever approved, namely, for sacrifice. He directed that those under the Mosaic Law offer animal sacrifices to make atonement for sin.—Leviticus 17:11—“The soul of the flesh is in the blood, and I myself have put it upon the altar for YOU to make atonement for YOUR souls, because it is the blood that makes atonement by the soul in it.” “When Christ came as a high priest . . . he entered, no, not with the blood of goats and of young bulls, BUT WITH HIS OWN BLOOD, once for all time into the holy place and OBTAINED AN EVERLASTING DELIVERANCE FOR US. For if the blood of goats and of bulls and the ashes of a heifer sprinkled on those who have been defiled sanctifies to the extent of cleanness of the flesh, HOW MUCH MORE WILL THE BLOOD OF THE CHRIST, WHO THROUGH AN EVERLASTING SPIRIT OFFERED HIMSELF WITHOUT BLEMISH TO GOD, CLEANSE OUR CONSCIENCES FROM DEAD WORKS THAT WE MAY RENDER SACRED SERVICE TO THE LIVING GOD?” . . . . “UNLESS BLOOD IS POURED OUT NO FORGIVENESS TAKES PLACE.”—Hebrews 9:11-14, 22. “By means of him [Jesus Christ] we have the release by ransom through the blood of that one, yes, the forgiveness of our trespasses, according to the riches of his undeserved kindness.”—Ephesia ns 1:7 “If we are walking in the light as he [Jehovah] himself is in the light, we do have a sharing with one another, and the blood of Jesus his Son cleanses us from all sin.”—1 John 1:7 So you see that Jesus will not take back this precious gift he gave us by coming back in the flesh.

Old Taz" died in 1916! What court are you and All posting about? As far as I know, "he was never asked to read or speak Hebrew in any court of law." (5 hrs ago | post #20094)

While they were looking on, he was lifted up and a cloud caught him up from their vision.”—Acts 1:9. So when Jesus began going into the sky, a cloud hid him from the literal eyesight of his apostles. The departing Jesus, therefore, became invisible to them. They could not see him. Then in his spiritual body he ascended to heaven.—1 Peter 3:18. His return also would be invisible, in a spiritual body. ‘Did not the two angels present tell the apostles that Christ “will come thus in the same manner as you have beheld him going into the sky?"’—Acts 1:11. Yes, they did. But notice that they said “IN THE SAME MANNER,” not in the same body. And what was the manner of Jesus’ leaving? It was quiet, without public display. Only his apostles knew about it. The world did not. Consider how the Bible describes the manner in which Jesus left his apostles on his way to heaven: “While they were looking on, he was lifted up and a cloud caught him up from their vision.”—Acts 1:9. HOW SEEN BY EVERY EYE How, then, are we to understand the words of Revelation 1:7? There the apostle John writes: “Look! He is coming with the clouds, and EVERY EYE WILL SEE HIM, and those who pierced him; and all the tribes of the earth will beat themselves in grief because of him.” Here the Bible speaks of seeing, not with physical eyes, but in the sense of DISCERNING OR PERCEIVING. Thus, when a person comprehends or understand a matter, he may say, “I see it.’ The Bible, in fact speaks of “the eyes of your understanding.”—Ep hesians 1:18, King James Version. So the expression “every eye will see him” means that everyone will then understand or recognize that Christ is present. Those who actually “pierced” Jesus are no longer alive on earth. So they represent persons who, by hurting Christ’s present-day followers, copy the conduct of those first-century men.—Matthew 25:40, 45. The time will soon come for Christ to execute such wicked ones. They have been warned in advance about this. When this execution takes place, they will “see” or recognize what is happening. And their grief will indeed be great! (17 hrs ago | post #20088)

When did "Old Taz" get caught in a lie in court? I could say the same about your version of the Scriptures!! As I have posted where the King James traslators have added verses!! (17 hrs ago | post #20087)

But since the apostle Thomas was able to put his hand into the hole in Jesus’ side, does that not show that Jesus was raised from the dead in the same body that was nailed to the stake? No, for Jesus simply materialized or took on a fleshly body, as angels had done in the past. In order to convince Thomas of who He was, He used a body with wound holes. He appeared, or seemed to be, fully human, able to eat and drink just as did the angels that Abraham once entertained.—Genes is 18:8—Hebrews 13:2. While Jesus appeared to Thomas in a body similar to the one in which He was put to death, He also took on different bodies when appearing to His followers. Thus Mary Magdalene at first thought that Jesus was a gardener. At other times his disciples did not at first recognize him. In these instances it was not his personal appearance that served to identify him, but it was some word or action that they recognized.—John 20:14-16; 21:6, 7—Luke 24:30, 31. For 40 days after his resurrection, Jesus made appearances in a fleshly body to his disciples.—Acts 1:3. Then he left for heaven. Bus some may ask: ‘Did not the two angels present tell the apostles that Christ “will come thus in the same manner as you have beheld him going into the sky”/’—Acts 1:11. Yes, they did. But notice that they said “IN THE SAME MANNER,” not in the same body. And what was the manner of Jesus’ leaving? It was quiet, without public display. Only his apostles knew about it. The world did not. Consider how the Bible describes the manner in which Jesus left his apostles on his way to heaven: “While they were looking on, he was lifted up and a cloud caught him up from their vision.”—Acts 1:9. So when Jesus began going into the sky, a cloud him from the literal eyesight of his apostles. The departing Jesus, therefore, became invisible to them. They could not see him. Then in his spiritual body he ascended to heaven.—1 Peter 3:18. Thus his return also would be invisible, in a spiritual body. (17 hrs ago | post #20086)

JESUS CHRIST FLESHLY BODY NOT TAKEN TO HEAVEN. However, many persons believe that Christ took his fleshly body to heaven. They point to the fact that when Christ was raised from the dead, his fleshly body was no longer in the tomb.—Mark 16:5-7. Also, after his death Jesus appeared to his disciples in a fleshly body to show them that he was alive. Once He even had the apostle Thomas put his hand into the hole in His side so that Thomas would believe that He had actually been resurrected.—John 20:24-27. Does this not prove that Christ was raised alive in the same body in which he was put to death? No, it does not. The Bible is very clear when it says: “Christ died once for all them concerning sins . . . , HE BEING PUT TO DEATH IN THE FLESH, BUT BEING MADE ALIVE IN THE SPIRIT.—1 Peter 3:18. Humans with flesh-and-blood bodies cannot live in heaven. Of the resurrection to heavenly life, the Bible says: “It is sown a physical body, it is raised up a spiritual body. . . . FLESH AND BLOOD CANNOT INHERIT GOD’S KINGDOM.”—1 Corinthians 15:44-50. Only spirit persons with spiritual bodies can live in heaven. Well, then, what happened to Jesus’ fleshly body? Did not the disciples find his tomb empty? They did, because God removed Jesus’ body. Why did God do this? It fulfilled what had been written in the Bible.—Psalm 16:10 and Acts 2:31. Thus Jehovah saw fit to remove Jesus’ body, even as he had done before with Moses’ body.—Deuteronomy 34:5, 6. Also, if the body had been left in the tomb, Jesus’ disciples could not have understood that he had been raised from the dead, since at that time they did not fully appreciate spiritual things.

WHY HE COULD NOT RETURN AS A HUMAN!! That same night Jesus went on to say to his apostles: “ little longer and THE WORLD WILL BEHOLD ME NO MORE.”—John 14:19. The “world” refers to humankind. So Jesus here plainly said that people on earth would not see him again after his death. The apostle Paul wrote: “Even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, certainly we now know him so no more.”—2 Corinthians 5:16. Yet many persons believe that Christ will return in the same human body in which he was put to death, and that all those living on earth will see him. The Bible, however, says that Christ returns in glory with all the angels, and that he sits “down on his glorious throne.”—Matthew 25:31. If Jesus were to come and sit as a man on an earthy throne, he would be lower in station than the angels. But he comes as the mightiest and most glorious of all these spirit sons of God and is therefore invisible, just as they are.—Philippians 2:8-11. On the other hand, over 1,900 years ago it was necessary for Jesus to lower himself and become a man. He needed to give his perfect human life as a ransom for us. Jesus once explained it this way: “The bread that I shall give is my flesh in behalf of the life of the world.”—John 6:51. Jesus thus gave up his fleshly body in sacrifice for humankind. For how long was that sacrifice to be in effect? The apostle Paul answers: “We have been sanctified through the offering of the body of Jesus Christ ONCE FOR ALL TIME.”—Hebrews 10:10. Having given up his flesh for the life of the world, Christ could never take it again and become a man once more. For that basic reason his return could never be in the human body that he sacrificed once for all time. (Continued) (18 hrs ago | post #20084)

Millions of people still living remember the things happened in 1914. In that year, World War I began a period of terrible trouble that has continued to our day. THIS MEANS THAT JESUS CHRIST BEGAN TO RULE AS KING OF GOD’S HEAVENLY GOVERNMENT IN 1914. And because toe Kingdom has already started its rule, how timely it is that we pray for it to “Come” and wipe Satan’s wicked system of thing from the earth!—Matthew 6:10; Daniel 2:44 Yet a person may ask: ‘If Christ has already returned to rule in his Father’s kingdom, why do we not see him? “I AM COMING AGAIN.”—John 14:3. Jesus Christ made this promise to his apostles when he was with them the night before his death. You will probably agree that never has there been a greater need for the peace, health and life that Christ’s return in Kingdom power will bring to humankind. But HOW does Christ return? Who see him, and in what way? At this return, Christ does not come to live on earth. Rather, those who are to rule as kings with him are taken to live with him in heaven. Jesus told his apostles: “I am coming again and will receive you home to myself, that where I am you also may be.”—John 14:3. So, when Christ returns, those who are taken to heaven become spirit persons, and they see Christ in his glorified spirit body.—1 Corinthians 15:44. But do the rest of humankind, who do not go to heaven, see Christ when he returns? (Continued) (18 hrs ago | post #20083)

In due course, the kingdom of Judah that Jehovah had set up became so corrupt that he allowed King Nebuchadnezzar to destroy it, to cut it down. This happened in the year 607 B.C.E. At that time Zedekiah, the last king of Judah to sit on Jehovah’s throne, was told: “Lift off the crown. . . . it will certainly become no one’s until he comes who has the legal right, and I must give it to him.”—Ezekiel 21:25-27. So God’s rulership, as represented by the “tree,” was cut down in 607 B.C.E. No longer was there a government to represent God’s rulership in the earth. Thus, in 607 B.C.E. a period of time began that Jesus Christ later referred to as “THE APPOINTED TIMES OF THE NATIONS,” or, “THE TIMES OF THE GENTILES.”—Luke 21:34, King James Version. During these “appointed times” God did not have a government to represent his rulership in the earth. What was to happen at the end of these “appointed times of the nations”? Jehovah was to give the power to rule to the One “who has the legal right.” This One is Jesus Christ. So if we can find out when “the appointed times of the nations” end, we will know when Christ begins to rule as king. According to Daniel chapter four, these “appointed times” would be “SEVEN TIMES.” Daniel shows that there would be “seven times” during which God’s rulership, as represented by the “tree,” would not be in operation over the earth.—Daniel 4:16, 23. How long are these “seven times”? In Revelation chapter 12, verse 6 and 14, we learn that 1,260 days are equal to “a time [that is, 1 time] and times [that is, 2 times] and half a time.” That is a total of 3 ½ times. So “a time” would be equal to 360 days. Therefore, “seven times’ would be 7 times 360, or 2,520 days. Now if we count a day for a year, according to a Bible rule, the “seven times” equal 2,520 years.—Numbers 14:34; Ezekiel 4:6. We have already learned that “the appointed times of the nations, began in the year 607 B.C.E. So by counting 2,520 years from that date, we come down to 1914C.E. That is the year these “appointed times” ended. October, 607 B.C.E. to October, 1 B.C.E. equals 606 years. October, 1 B.C.E. to October, 1914 C.E. equals 1,914 years Which is SEVEN GENTILE TIMES. Add 606 and 1,914 and you will have 2,520 YEARS. (continued) (18 hrs ago | post #20082)

Well, then, where does the Bible foretell the year that Christ begins to rule as king of God’s government? It is in this Bible book of Daniel.—Daniel 4:10-37. There a giant, heaven-high tree is used to represent King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon. He was the highest human ruler at that time. However, King Nebuchadnezzar was forced to know that someone higher was ruling. This one is “the Most High,” or “the King of the heavens,” Jehovah God.—Daniel 4:34, 37. So, in a more important way, this heaven-high tree, comes to represent THE SUPREME RULERSHIP OF GOD, PARTICULARLY IN ITS RELATIONSHIP TO OUR EARTH. Jehovah’s rulership was expressed for a time through the kingdom that he set up over the nation of Israel. Thus the kings of the tribe of Judah who reigned over the Israelites were said to “sit upon Jehovah’s throne.”—1Chronicl es 29:23. According to the Bible account in Daniel chapter four, the heaven-high tree was cut down. However, the stump was left, and bands of iron and of copper were put on it. This would keep the stump from growing until it was God’s time to remove the bands and let it start growing again. But how and when was God’s rulership cut down?
