Refuting Scott Hess, Hi Ronald, Trinitarians ignore, the clear texts below, as they think literally, they fail to see the spiritual, the illustrative, the non-literal, once the nonsense of the literal is done away with, all texts makes complete sense! One of the reasons Ive had it with Scott Hess, is that he twists what I say and ignores pertinent points, as is seen from his specious replies to me... another reason why Im done with him on this! NWT. Math 26:60, 61 Later on two came forward 61 and said: “This man said, ‘I am able to throw down the temple of God and build it up in three days. 2 Cor 6:15, 16 Further, what harmony is there between Christ and Be′li·al? Or what portion does a faithful person have with an unbeliever? 16 And what agreement does God’s temple have with idols? For we are a temple of a living God; just as God said: “I shall reside among them and walk among [them], and I shall be their God, and they will be my people.” Math 21:42 Jesus said to them: “Did YOU never read in the Scriptures, ‘The stone that the builders rejected is the one that has become the chief cornerstone. See - Eph 2:20, 21; 1 Pet 2:4-8; Isa 28:16, 17. Eph 2:19-22 19 Certainly, therefore, YOU are no longer strangers and alien residents, but YOU are fellow citizens of the holy ones and are members of the household of God, 20 and YOU have been built up upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, while Christ Jesus himself is the foundation cornerstone. 21 In union with him the whole building, being harmoniously joined together, is growing into a holy temple for Jehovah. 22 In union with him YOU, too, are being built up together into a place for God to inhabit by spirit. In union with him YOU, too, are being built up together into a place for God to inhabit by spirit. John 2:21 But he was talking about the temple of his body. Anointed Christians, of the Christian congregation, as seen from the many texts above, are that temple, Christ being the chief cornerstone of that spiritual temple, such a temple to be inhabited by God by spirit; Jesus was not talking literally about his body, no more than Paul was talking literally, when he said, Jesus was the chief cornerstone, or the anointed Christians being a literal temple! Also, these Trinitarians continually ignore what Paul said and that is, Christ was raised as a spirit being, and that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, no matter how glorified (so-called) 1 Cor 15:45, 50. 1 Pet 3:18, 19 NASB For Christ also died for sins once for all, the just for the unjust, so that He might bring us to God, having been put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit; in which also He went and made proclamation to the spirits now in prison... Flesh is antithetical to spirit, Christ was put to death in the flesh, but was made alive in the spirit, this agrees with Paul in 1 Cor 15:45, where he agrees with Peter, that Christ was raised up as a spirit being, v19 (NASB) ...in which... is referring to the sphere or the place to which Christ was resurrected, as vss 18,19 are most likely referring to the sphere in which Jesus dies and was resurrected i.e. he was put death IN the flesh, but raised IN the spirit, hence the Dative terminology. Hess really does not have a leg to stand on here, but be assured, he will come back with his own brand of Trinitarian specious arguments and then try and turn the tables around again! Since, Jesus went and preached to the spirits in prison (John 3:13; Acts 2:34) such spirits being around in the days of Noah (Gen 6:1, 2) how did he do such a thing, if still in the flesh and as we have seen, Paul by divine inspiration tells us that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, the spirit realm, where no flesh can reside!
