Why Study the Bible?, page-29

It is true we are remarkable.

But the problem is in Psalm 36:9 and these other Scriptures that your organisation believe suggests eternal, physical life, none of it is referring to physical life. This could not be clearer.

Psalm 36:9 tells us that Jehovah is the spring / source / fountain of life. There is no hint or promise of earthly, physical life being reconstituted and then being permanent whatsoever. The suggestion of permanence is in the form of progressive, countless generations of humans living and dying and moving ever closer to living as Jehovah would have them live. Not individuals occupying earth eternally.

If Jehovah is spirt, then spirt must be superior to flesh. Why would He then Create to maintain eternal flesh when spirit is superior? You surely must understand this.

Eternal life in a Scriptural sense can only occur in the spirit. Only the spirit is indestructible. Suggestions of eternal life on earth are via the endless generations of humans that will come and go, all connected, living their short lives and trying to make this world a little bit more like heaven on earth with each passing generation.

No promise has been made to you apart by Jehovah to live on earth eternally. The promise came from your governing body and they have no authority to promise anything.
