Bible Question: My long-saved brother-in-law and I, a over-zealous new-believer had a conversation where he told me that since Christ was man, and rose from the dead, and that now since Christ is in heaven, there exists man, with flesh and blood in heaven. This concerns me, since I disagree. Please help. |
Bible Answer: NASB Luke 24:39 "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." Your brother-in-law may say that Christ exists with flesh and blood in heaven. However, that is NOT what Jesus himself said. After his resurrection, he said that he was flesh and bones. Flesh and bones -- not flesh and blood. "...For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have." |
