If you believe that Jesus Christ was resurrected, why doesn't he still have a body of flesh and bone?

Question

If you believe that Jesus Christ was resurrected, why doesn't he still have a body of flesh and bone?

Answer 1

Jesus has what is called a glorified body A glorified body is one in which it shares in many of the attributes of a spirit. It cannot suffer or die and can move through solid objects and move with the speed of thought. Our bodies will also be glorified after the resurrection of the dead on the last day.  

Answer 2

He has a spiritual body, the same as we can have.

Answer 3

When Jesus was resurrected, he was seen and touched by people who knew him in life.  He ate food.  He walked, talked, and in all ways appeared human, made of flesh and bone, but with the marks of crucifixion in his hands, and feet, and side..  However, he also walked into a locked room in that same resurrected body, and ascended into heaven in that same resurrected body.  Now he sits at the right hand of the Father, in heaven, waiting to be told it's time for him to come back and get his bride, the church.  And those of us who go with him, will see him as he really is, because we will be like him, in glorified bodies.  Why would we need flesh and bone in heaven?

Answer 4

Answer 5

Who said he doesn't? Jesus, himself, said he still has a body of flesh and bone.

Luke 24:39

Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

Answer 6

Jesus ascended to Heaven and received a new body. A perfect body that all who believe in Him will receive after the Rapture.

Answer 7

Who told you otherwise? The Bible says that Christ will retain His body for ever, and that the wounds of the crucifixion will stay for ever.  

Answer 8

Jesus vaporized the body once he got into Heaven.

Answer 9

Answer 10

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

1 Corinthians 15:50.

EDIT:[1 Cor 15:40-54 cont.]:

(v. 42) "So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable;

(v. 43) it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power;

(v. 44) it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body."

[BKC, cont.]:

[An earthly natural body is fallen and so is temporal, imperfect, and weak. A heavenly spiritual body will be eternal, perfect, and powerful (cf. 2 Cor 5:1-4). Like a seed sown in the earth and the plant which proceeds from it, there is continuity but a gloriously evident difference."]

(v. 45) So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being" ; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.

(v. 46) The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.

(v. 47) The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.

(v. 48) As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the man from heaven, so also are those who are of heaven.

(v. 49) And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven.

(v. 50) I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable."

Answer 11

Jesus does have a body of flesh and bone and of spiritual qualites as well.  In the book of John, in chapter 20, Jesus told Thomas to feel around and see that Jesus had bones and flesh.  

The resurrected body of Jesus is a glorified body with physical and spiritual qualities.  Jesus was raised from the dead, into the same body that He died in.  The new body, the resurrected body is that same body resurrected with new physical and spiritual qualities.

Answer 12

He went up to heaven 40 days after he rose from the grave.

Answer 13

Jesus Christ DOES have a body of flesh and bone.  After his resurrection, his 11 apostles (Judas was not there) saw Christ's body and felt the tangible marks in his hands and in his feet.  Jesus Christ himself exclaimed, "A spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have."     It cannot be any clearer than that.

This is what the Bible teaches us.  See Luke 24:36-43

36 ¶ And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.

  37 But they were terrified and frighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.

  38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?

  39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

  40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

  41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

  42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

  43 And he took it, and did eat before them.

Additionally, Jesus Christ, with a resurrected physical body, ate food.

Answer 14

He ascended into heaven.
