I would also like to add that I have worked in apologetics for many years bringing Jehovah’s Witnesses to faith in Christ. One of the things that JW’s have in common with NN is that they believe that the Christ is a spirit. I am not saying that NN is a cultist, but his agreement with the JW’s on this point is very troubling to me. JW’s believe that Michael the Archangel was raised from the dead and that he (a spirit) takes on the name Jesus Christ as the spirit being who is the Christ.

I have spent many years proving that the Christ is a man and absolutely cannot be a spirit. It actually hurts my heart to see a Christian fighting to see the identification of the Christ as referring to spirit and not flesh alone. The very proof that Jesus was the Christ was His physical resurrection from the dead. Romans 1:4. No spirit could claim to be the Christ just as no spirit could claim to sit on the throne of David and no spirit could raise himself from the dead and claim that he was the legal son of God. The Jehovah’s Witnesses are dead wrong in claiming that a spirit could be called the “Christ” just as NN is dead wrong. I would be happy to communicate with anyone privately if anyone has a question on this matter. It is an extremely important point of Christian faith as it is the physical resurrection of the man Jesus is the ONLY legal “declaration” named in the Scripture. The word “declared” in Romans 1:4 means:

from the basic mng.,1. ‘to separate entities and so establish a boundary’, derives the sense ‘to define ideas or concepts’: set limits to, define, explain
2. to make a determination about an entity, determine, appoint, fix, set

As someone who has worked hard to prove the physical resurrection of Jesus Christ (only the man Jesus was resurrected as the Word of God never died) I will not have my blog present false teaching without me presenting the correct biblical response. I have very little time right now so I reserve the right to moderate comments that are against our Christian faith, unless and until I have the time to refute them.
