JW’s, you quote 1 Peter 3:18 as proof that Christ was raised as a spirit and not in the flesh, how?

1 peter 3: 18 Why, even Christ died once for all time concerning sins, a righteous [person] for unrighteous ones, that he might lead YOU to God, he being put to death in the flesh, but being made alive in the spirit. [NWT]

As I read this verse it is very clear that Christ was made alive in the spirit and it has not in any way indicated that Christ was made alive as a spirit.

Please explain how the words, “IN THE SPIRIT” mean He was made alive “AS A SPIRIT”.

Now I was very fair and used your version of this verse so please show me how this verse alone means “AS A SPIRIT” and not as written, “IN THE SPIRIT”? Please don't quote or cut and paste the material from the un-anointed men of the WBT$, please in your own words explain this verse and how it proves Christ was resurrected as a spirit and not in his fleshy body.

The KJV which your organization says is the best other than your version says, “1Peter 3:18 For Christ also hath once suffered for sins, the just for the unjust, that he might bring us to God, being put to death in the flesh, but quickened by the Spirit:

“Quickened or MADE ALIVE BY the spirit” that is hardly, “made alive AS A SPIRIT”

G2227

ζωοποιέω

zōopoieō

dzo-op-oy-eh'-o

From the same as G2226 and G4160; to (re-) vitalize (literally or figuratively): - make alive, give life, quicken.

Strong’s shows Quicken to mean, “Made alive”

So the King James version tells us Christ was made ALIVE BY THE spirit! [Caps mine]

Update:

@conundrum, when you are willing to answer a question and not just try to deflect attention from the question by abusing the asker because it exposes the lies of the Watchtower organization, I will know you are starting to mature, God bless you.
