The Watchtower organization says that Jesus did not rise from the dead in the same body he died in (You Can Live Forever on Paradise Earth, p. 143-44). Instead, it says that He rose as a spirit creature and that the material body of Jesus was taken away by God the Father. Therefore,
they deny the physical resurrection of Christ.Jesus said in John 2:19-21 that He would raise Himself from the dead. . . physically. The Jehovah's Witnesses teach that Jesus did not rise from the dead in the same body He died in. Also,
at His ascension people watched Jesus rise to be with the Father. They saw His body ascend. That is why it can be said that Jesus, the man, is the mediator between God and man (1 Tim. 2:5).
