Prophet Like me

  O.k. Watchtower, there is a question below:
  
  
  Deuteronomy 18:15
  
  "The Lord your God will raise up for you a Prophet like me from your midst, from your brethren. Him you shall hear,
  
  Acts 2:30
  
  Therefore, being a prophet, and knowing that God had sworn with an oath to him that of the fruit of his body, according to the flesh, He would raise up the Christ to sit on his throne,
  
  And how did Jesus address Himself in the Gospels?
  
  As the Son of Man, yes that is correct
  
  So according to the flesh Jesus is the Son of Man, this is how He revealed Himself to the Jews of that day proclaiming that He is the Prophet Moses spoke about.
  
  Romans 9:5
  
  of whom are the fathers and from whom, according to the flesh,Christ came, who is over all, the eternally blessed God. Amen.
  
  Correct?
  
  
  So here is a question for all Jehovah Witness's, based on all the facts of the above verses; if Christ came according to the flesh, how will He return?
  
  Matthew 26:64
  
  Jesus said to him, "It is as you said. Nevertheless, I say to you, hereafter you will see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand of the Power, and coming on the clouds of heaven."
  
  Revelation 1:7
  
  Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.
  
  So now you see Watchtower, to say that the Lord's return "was" a spiritual one, is a complete lie, according to Matthew 26:64.

  Luke 24:39
  
  Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have."
  
  Acts 1:11
  
  11 who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."

  Honesty

  Hello and welcome, BlazyJon.

  Most of us on this forum have rejected the false doctrines of the Watchtower Society along with its "Faithless Indiscreet Slavers" who are represented by some deceitful old men in Brooklyn New York.

  Narkissos

  Welcome BlazyJon,

  While some Gospel references to the "Son of Man" may indicate "humanity" in the broadest sense (e.g. Matthew 8:20, in opposition to foxes and birds), most of them (and especially the "Son of Man coming on the clouds") are a clear reference to a heavenly characterin apocalyptical literature (Daniel 7, 1 Enoch, 4 Esdras). Many sayings in the Synoptic Gospels do not identify Jesus to him (Mark 8:38; Matthew 10:32; 16:27; Luke 9:26; 12:8f). So "the Son of Man = the human Jesus" is an oversimplistic equation.
