Why is eating food only for for nourishment? How do you know that they don't have digestive systems? They have physical bodies. Who ever said that spirits do not eat of drink? Looks like you have a number of assumptions that were never spoken of in the Bible.

but if that is whay you think, then you probably should read a lot more.
I read a ton, and there is no answer to this question. It can't be simulated. The theories that DO exist are ridiculous to me. Mutations on the backs of crystals? Hmmm...
And that's my point. I am asking Jesus for that very experience. He's not answering the phone.

You Won't be Resurrected.
by smmcroberts ini'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but if you die prior to armageddon you won't be resurrected.
please read my latest blog article to find out why this is so according to the watchtower beliefs.. http://smmcroberts.net/blog/you-wont-be-resurrected/.

That's interesting smmcroberts. I've thought the same. According to the Watchtower you are merely recreated with the same memories and personality. But that's not resurrection... In the same line of reasoning, Jesus wasn't resurrected either. He was recreated. I know that many of you don't believe in the Bible, and that's fine, but this talk is interesting to show the implications of the Watchtower's belief about the soul and resurrection. It might be something even non believers can hold on to to help other questioning JWs. I think someone posted this on here before, but I just watched it again the other day and thought it was good.

Since he has yet to actually keep a single one of his promises or give any tangible proof that he intends to, what is the other option?
“Then Jesus told him, ‘Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed’” ( John 20:29 ).
No matter how God reveals Himself, there will always be those that deny His existance. This isn't new.
Romans 1:20-22: "For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world, made known to the mind by the things that are made, are clearly perceived,—both His eternal power and divinity; so as to render them inexcusable: because, though knowing God, they did not glorify [Him] as God, nor were they thankful [towards Him] but became vain in their reasonings, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools."
The proof is staring you in the face, yet people still want to attribute everything to an unintelligent accident. Yet no one can explain how to get LIFE from NON LIFE. But instead of consider that there could be an intelligent designer, they still refuse. They still mock those that say that there must be some sort of design behind nature.
To me it sounds more ridiculous to believe that life came from non life than to believe in a designer.
Imagine IF the Bible is true about it's accounts of Jesus. It shows that Jesus even came to earth to show us God, performed miracles, died, and was resurrected. But yet, not everyone believed in Him even THEN. It was not enough. It will never be enough for some people. They choose to not glorify God and profess themselves to be wise.
That's why it's my conviction that nothing science or religion says tends to change people's minds about God. They have to experience God for themselves. If they are willing, they will experience God. And that will be their proof.

Why, Jam? Jesus came and ate with his disciples after his resurrection. It's not the only time that this has been spoken of in the Bible.

God materialized before Abraham and ate with Him. The NWT says it was Jehovah. And there are 3 persons that Abraham sees. Interesting.

The thing with people and their blame of God in acting too slow is...If He doesn't respond in the manner and length that we deem is appropriate, then He is either slow, cruel, or doesn't exist.
Humanism is like this. It's all about self. There is nothing greater than self. And self dictates everything. There is no greater power outside of ourself, and many (though not all) come to this conclusion because their concept of God did not respond in the way and speed that they thought He would. So He must not exist. I see it over and over again. Yes, I acknowledge that there are those that use science to support their non belief in God. But for many people science was not the reason they stopped believing, but it was a way to explain why they already didn't believe. I'm not saying that is everyone, but I have met many people that are this way.

Christian faith began with the resurrection of Jesus, whose death was interpreted (in Jewish terms) as atoning and saving and in fulfillment of prophecy. There was no disagreement on this point. All who believed in Jesus and were numbered among his followers concurred on these essential beliefs. There was no other “Christianity” that thought otherwise. The Gospels written in the first century, that is, the New Testament Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John), narrate the discovery of the empty tomb and appearances of the risen Jesus to His followers. The resurrection of Jesus and its saving power become the central truth of Christian preaching and missionary activity, to which Peter and Paul give emphatic witness. There simply is no evidence of any other Christian movement in the first generation following Easter that preached something else ( Fabricating Jesus: How Modern Scholars Distort the Gospels, By Craig Evans p. 191).

"Condescending" may not be a strong enough word to describe your attitude.
I'm sorry you think that I am putting on an air of superior positon or authority. I don't mean to come across that way. But I believe that God has made it obvious that He exists. And the only conclusion I can seem to come to (due to my own experiences of God in my life) is that the people that don't see what He is doing, just aren't looking. That's just trying to understand how people could come to a conclusion of accidental life and no creator. It doesn't mean I feel better than them. It just means, I don't understand it.

Why does Paul, Jesus' biggest booster, not have anything at all to say about his sayings or his miracles?
Several reasons. Number one is that Paul was not an apostle while Jesus was on earth. He never had direct contact with Jesus on earth. Also, IF the gospels had already been written (which I do not believe they had been while Paul was writing) he didn't have them to refer to. Paul's message was not about what Jesus did on earth. He took the assumption that those in the churches already knew what Jesus did. There was no need to reiterate. Paul said that the things Jesus taught on earth were a beginning. They were the milk. But it was time to press on to what it really meant to be a Christian. He expounded on what Jesus already taught and what Christians already believed. There was no need to tell them what they already believed due to eye witness knowledge.
Further, Paul already KNEW what the Christians believed about Jesus. He persecuted them for it. So there was no need to again tell them what they already knew about Jesus.
And it's not accurate to say that Paul NEVER quoted Jesus. 1 Cor 11:23-25 says: " For I received from the Lord that which I also delivered to you: that the Lord Jesus on the same night in which He was betrayed took bread; and when He had given thanks, He broke it and said, “ Take , eat ; this is My body which is broken for you ; do this in remembrance of Me .” In the same manner He alsotook the cup after supper, saying, “ This cup is the new covenant in My blood . This do , as often as you drink it , in remembrance of Me .”
I know that many DO dispute all the apostles, but to try and only dispute Paul IS to dispute all the apostles. The conversion of Paul happened only a few years after Jesus' ministry. The apostles would have wanted to preserve what they were teaching about Jesus (as contained in the gospels). The would never have allowed Paul to begin teaching something that changed or distored the teachings of Jesus. Paul spent three years adding to what he already knew about Jesus. Then he met with Peter and James. (Ga 1:18-19). Then after spending 14 years of ministry to the Gentiles, he met with the older men in Jerusalem and they officially endorsed him. (Ga 2:1-9)
Think about this. Most scholars say that Luke and Acts were written by the same person, Luke. However, Acts rarely quotes what Jesus said before his death. The fact that Luke quotes Jesus hundreds of times, does not lesten the validity of Acts because Acts does not quote Jesus.
Also, we only have Paul's letters. We don't have the record of his speeches. He spent LONG periods of time establishing and training churches. His oral teaching may have included even more quotations of Jesus than what a brief letter (usually written in times of trial) would have contained.
Finally, Paul frequently referred to Jesus as a real historical person. He never denigraded Jesus' status. He frequently referred or alluded to Jesus and the traditions Jesus set down numerous times.
So Pistoff, no I do not agree that Paul created a new religion and went off on a tangent that cannot be supported by the gospels. I haven't seen anything that I can see that Paul wrote that disagrees with the gospel accounts.
