Image123:Please which body? If you mean the church, then l'll say ok Ephesians 5:30 "For we are members of his body, of his flesh, and of his bones" question who is this body? Ephesians 1:22-23 New International Version (NIV) "And God placed all things under his feet and appointed him to be head over everything for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills everything in every way" Jesus rose from the grave and ascended into glory bodily so l am not aware or informed of any body of His that remains for Him to collect again rather it is the Church He is coming for Ephesians 5:37 King James Bible (Cambridge Ed.) "That he might present it to himself a glorious church, not having spot, or wrinkle, or any such thing; but that it should be holy and without blemish" |

Image123:^I didn't forget that the Church is metaphorically referred to as the Body of Christ. It is also referred to as the Bride. Does that mean my body is also my bride? The OP was quite specific with regards to his question. numo86: Your reply did not contain the necessary clarification to indicate that by "Body", you meant the Church thereby leaving room for misunderstanding (remember you took a certain someone to task for his DEFINITE statement). There is a distinction between metaphor and reality. The Church as Body is metaphor. The OP asks about the actual physical body of the Risen Christ. These are two distinct things. In any case I don't agree that the thread is meaningless. We believe that Jesus ascended bodily into Heaven and so the question must arise: What sort of body does the Heavenly Man have? He has a glorified body as we see from his pre-incarnate appearance in Ezekiel and Daniel, and from the transfiguration and the book of revelation. That this question is important is revealed by the scriptures which directly address this question in 1 Corinthians 15. |

Aleatheia, the church IS the body of Christ. Either you believe that, or you don't. And yes, your bride is your body according to the Bible. The Bible is clear and i thought d average student should know that Christ is the Head and the church is the body. He has no other 'physical body' more specific. I said and i repeat JESUS LEFT HIS BODY ON EARTH. Once He rose, from the dead that is, He had no specific body than the church, and i thought Paul made that pretty clear. That He had no such body's shown in His post resurrection appearances where He simply appeared as the I AM what I AM. To Magdalene, He appeared like the gardener. To some, He appeared with pierced hands, on the road to Emmaus, He had no pierced hand or familiar face, at sea, He was someone else till they caught fish. To John at Patnos, He appeared as a Lamb seriously, to THE chapter one appearance to THE other chapters appearances. To some, He appears with long hair, blue eyes bla bla. He's the I AM really. |

numo86: This is a question that needs serious pondering, I understand why you can be a bit confused by this but you have to look at it in the following sequence. Jesus lived in Heaven before he came to earth so he is a spirit being like every one of us. But to live on earth you need a physical body, so he lived in one while on earth.. Remember when he showed his disciples his nail print he was on earth..so as long as the occurrence is on earth, it's always his physical body, and in Heaven his Spiritual body. The way he looked while on earth is not how he looks in Heaven. Dont forget while on earth, he took on the nature of man, but in Heaven his nature as God shows.. Read "Revelation 1 Verses 11-17" His beloved disciple JOHN could not even look at his face, he was trembling, at the presence of GOD-The Son. You will see Jesus in his full glory as God the son and understand that he is not human in heaven. You will also see Baba GOD himself (The almighty father) His appearance is described in Revelations 4 Verse 3- I hope you understand a bit now: Bless |
