Is Watch Tower doctrine Christian? Part 3--The Bodily Resurrection of Jesus!

Doctrine #3 - The Bodily Resurrection of Jesus!

Bodily Resurrection WT style.

"...the man Jesus is dead, forever dead..." “The Atonement Between God and Man, Studies in the Scriptures,” Vol. 5, 1899, p. 454.

"...the bodies in which Jesus manifested himself to the disciples after his return to life were not the body in which he was nailed to the tree." “The Kingdom is at Hand,” 1944, p. 259.

“…in his resurrection he ‘became a life-giving spirit.’ That was why for most of the time he was invisible to his faithful apostles… He needs no human body any longer… The human body of flesh, which Jesus Christ laid down forever as a ransom sacrifice, was disposed of by God’s power.”—“Things in Which it is Impossible for God to Lie,” pp. 332, 354

“So the evidence indicates that the Son of God was known as Michael before he came to earth and is known also by that name since his return to heaven where he resides as the glorified spirit Son of God.”—“Reasoning from the Scriptures,” 1985, 1989, p. 218

Bodily Resurrection Biblical style.

1 Corinthians 15:3-5, “For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.”

Paul says that “Christ died for our sins.” Paul says that “He was buried.” And that “He was raised.” He who? He Christ. Christ died, Christ was buried and Christ was raised. That is why Paul said,

I Corinthians 15:14, “and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain.”
