Post by Revelations won »

I have a few clarifying question for JW's as follows.

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?

My understanding is that the Tanakh is simply the Hebrew scriptures (The "old testament" ) in a different order (ie there are no books in the Tanakh that cannot also be found in the bible canon.

How does what you say here differ from what I said?
Good....

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 "?
Yes, I agree.
Do JW believes that the phrase "the Law and the Prophets" does refer to the whole Bible (OT & NT)?
No I would say the Law and the Prophets is part of the Old Testament, as Bible Student said above.

Good, so you are not the same belief of one I believe also a JW.

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.
Luk 24:45 Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
