1. Do you claim that Jesus the Christ is just a mortal being like us?
2. Do you claim that Jesus the Christd oes not now have a body of flesh and bones?

Does that mean you agree with what I wrote and that I am correct to say that " Tanakh is simply the Hebrew scriptures (The "old testament" ) in a different order "?
Do JW believes that the phrase "the Law and the Prophets" does refer to the whole Bible (OT & NT)?

Do you also believe what Jesus say that the Tanakh (Old Testament) were prophesying about Him? (Luke 24:44-45)
Starting at Genesis 3:15?
Luk 24:44 And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
