Here is BIG CONTRADICTION between the Watchtower and the Bible:
The Watchtower Society says that Jesus Christ was Resurrected as a "Spirit Creature" and that He no longer had His Body because Jehovah (The Father) "zapped" His Body out of existence.
What does the Bible say?:
John 2:18: The Jews therefore answered Him, "What sign do You show us, seeing that You do these things?"
John 2:19: Jesus answered them, "Destroy this Temple, and in three days I will raise It up."
John 2:20: The Jews therefore said, "Forty-six years was this Temple in building, and will You raise it up in three days?"
John 2:21: But He spoke of the Temple of His Body.
John 2:22: When therefore He was raised from the dead, His Disciples remembered that He said this, and they believed the Scripture, and the Word which Jesus had said.
Luke 24:36: As they said these things, Jesus Himself stood among them, and said to them, "Peace be to you."
Luke 24:37: But they were terrified and filled with fear, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
Luke 24:38: He said to them, "Why are you troubled? Why do doubts arise in your hearts?
Luke 24:39: See My hands and My feet, that it is truly Me. Touch Me and see, for a spirit doesn't have flesh and bones, as you see that I have."
Luke 24:40: When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.
Luke 24:41: While they still didn't believe for joy, and wondered, He said to them, "Do you have anything here to eat?"
Luke 24:42: They gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.
Luke 24:43: He took them, and ate in front of them.
Luke 24:44: He said to them, "This is what I told you, while I was still with you, that all things which are written in the Law of Moses, the Prophets, and the Psalms, concerning Me must be fulfilled."
So, according to Watchtower Doctrine, Jesus "materialized" a fake body with fake holes in His fake hands and a fake hole in His fake side in order to deceive the Apostles into believing that He was resurrected in His Body, but in actuality Jehovah had already zapped Jesus' Body and turned it into gases.
But, if Jesus was really resurrected as a "Spirit Creature", then why would He have even needed to try and prove that His Body was resurrected? Oh, that's right, because IF Jesus' Body was not raised up, then that means Jesus made a False Prophecy in John 2:18-22.
I would love to hear a JW try and explain this away.
Also, the Watchtower likes to say that Jesus could not have taken His Body into Heaven because it is written "Flesh and Blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God", BUT NOTICE, Luke 24:29 says that Jesus' Resurrected Body was FLESH AND BONES, not Flesh and Blood!
Also, as a side-note, Luke 24:39 shows that the Watchtower is WRONG about demons coming to Earth and having sex with women before the Flood.
Or, if demons really did come to Earth and have sex with women, then that means Jesus used a bad arguement which wouldn't have proved anything.
Well, who do you believe, Jesus or the Watchtower?
I know that Jesus would not have used a bad arguement and Jesus cannot lie, so I'm gonna go with Jesus.
In Luke 24:39, the point Jesus made to PROVE that He was raised in His Body, was that spirits (angels and demons) DO NOT have flesh and bones!
You see, even if demons possessed humans and then caused the humans to have sex with women, it is still the humans who are having sex with each other, not the demons.
The demons could not have actually become human -- which also proves that Jesus is not an angel -- because angels could not become humans.
Only God can become a Human.
