That may explain your error...

(Luke 24:36-49) "And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you. {37} But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit. {38} And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts? {39} Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. {40} And when he had thus spoken, he showed them his hands and his feet. {41} And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? {42} And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb. {43} And he took it, and did eat before them. {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. {45} Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures, {46} And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day: {47} And that repentance and remission of sins should be preached in his name among all nations, beginning at Jerusalem. {48} And ye are witnesses of these things. {49} And, behold, I send the promise of my Father upon you: but tarry ye in the city of Jerusalem, until ye be endued with power from on high."

In verse 39, Jesus said He has flesh and bone, and this is AFTER the resurrection. Now it is taught that Jesus is a spirit, and not flesh and bone, but here He is, telling them all. He even ate. Dead people and spirits don't eat.

if you compare this to John 4:24,

(John 4:24) "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth."

and

(John 1:18) "No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him."

So how you can say I have believed anything not supported by Scripture is beyond me. You just love to accuse and condemn, that is your nature, and rather than rejoice at my testimony that God answered my prayer, you said satan did what God really did. You are in grave danger and you don't even realize it. I wish I could convince you.

I think my presence here has agitated you enuff tho, so I will take my leave of you, and bid you godspeed.

Sam
