7 Witnesses believe that Christ was raised from the dead on the third day as a spirit being, "made alive in the spirit", and that the appearances to the Apostles were materializations, and so they deny the fleshly resurrection of Christ. Witnesses interpret the Bible as saying that Christ's soul was separated from his body, and that Jehovah the Father raised Christ and gave Him a new body of glorified spirit, rather than his old one being resurrected on the Third Day. Most other professed Christians disagree, believing that the Christ's resurrection was in his actual same flesh that he died in, and not as a spirit being, and some call the Witness doctrine on this matter a damnable heresy. | 7 Witnesses believe that Christ was raised from the dead on the third day as a spirit being, "made alive in the spirit", and that the appearances to the Apostles were materializations, and so they deny the fleshly resurrection of Christ.
