Who is it that teaches of their own opinion and not what the Word says?
*** w81 12/1 p. 7 Could Christ Return Without Being Seen? ***
“A little longer and the world will behold me no more, but you will behold me, because I live and you will live.” Yes, his followers, but not the general public, beheld him on various occasions after his resurrection. It was not that he had taken up again his sacrificed body but, rather, that he had materialized fleshly bodies according to the needs of the occasion, as angels had done previously.
Jn 2:18-21 (ESVST) 18 So the Jews said to him, " What sign do you show us for doing these things?" 19 Jesus answered them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up." 20 The Jews then said, " It has taken forty- six years to build this temple, and will you raise it up in three days?" 21 But he was speaking about the temple of his body.
Luk 24:36-43 (ESVST) 36 As they were talking about these things, Jesus himself stood among them, and said to them, " Peace to you!" 37 But they were startled and frightened and thought they saw a spirit. 38 And he said to them, " Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts? 39 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have." 40 And when he had said this, he showed them his hands and his feet. 41 And while they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, he said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?" 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate before them.
