Now isn't that strange...Your religion tells you that Jesus in his glorified state in heaven looks just like he did while in the flesh, even with flesh and blood...
1Co_15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Elijah and Moses are not transfigured. This then shows their presence in heaven even before the General Judgment that we all await: it is Jesus and the two Hebrew saints in their condition now.
Not transfigured eh??? What, did they show up in a school bus with wings on it??? They aren't up there blinking on and off with the bodies they were born with...
But they also are in the presence of grace.
They were in the presence of grace before they went there, as Christians generally are...
"It is good to be here"-- St. Peter exclaims.
And indeed it is good to venerate a saint: it give your soul a comfort of knowing your future heavenly company;
Uh, sorry, what verse did you get that one from??? Oh, you just pulled it out of thin air and threw it in because gullible Catholics will eat it up???
it restored the believer's hope in his own salvation and invaluable advice, one that cannot be gotten from a person whose sanctification is yet incomplete, comes from a conversation with a saint. It is so good that Peter wants to build three tabernacles for Jesus, Moses and Elijah.
Now you went off the deep end...The apostles did not converse with Moses and Elijah...They didn't get any invaluable advice just as no humans get invaluable or otherwise advise from those in heaven...
Here, by the way, how the Tabernacle of Jesus looks:
Uh, Jesus does not have a tabernacle made with hands as the type of tabernacle you posted a picture clearly was...
Mar 14:58 We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands.
It was the desire of Our Lord to gradually teach His people to properly venerate saints, to properly separate veneration from worship and to experience divine grace without fear.
Perhaps you got that from an Ouija Board but you certainly did not get that from God...That is as unbiblical as it gets...
Is there another lesson? The Transfiguration is also a feast of the threshold of our blessed Church Age: Christ rises from among the Jewish prophets and is with God; soon the Jewish religion will be replaced by the new faith where we converse with saints and with God without fear. It is also a lesson of discipleship: the light of the Mount Tabor that struck even the Holy Apostles may become the gentle light inside, borne by the Catholic believer, the light that shines and illuminates our lives and drives the heresies away.
There you have it...It must been some spirit drug up out of an Ouija Board because God never says anything remotely close to any thing like that...
It is one thing to make up or invent things that are not in the scripture but it is entirely something else when those inventions contradict the words of God in his scriptures...And that is what you are doing...
Correct, that is what the text says.
what verse did you get that one from?
Peter saw Christ and two saints and despite fear, he felt "it was good". That is all.
The apostles did not converse with Moses and Elijah
That is what I wrote, yes.
Jesus does not have a tabernacle made with hands
Peter wanted to make one and the Jews made one for their purposes; the photograph shows actual man-made tabernacle.
It must been some spirit drug up
You don't think that is the lesson? What do you think the lesson of the Transfiguration is?
