1 | Is Jesus preincarnate body same as now? | John 1:14 | Emmaus | 40717 | ||
Tom, The word "incarnate" means in the flesh. How can one have a body before one is in the flesh (preincarnate)? To be preincarnate is to be without a body. Jesus' glorified body was indeed different from ours but it did have substance which could be touched as by Thomas and Jesus also ate after the resurrection, though He did not need to. The glorified body is a glorified incarnation and therefore I believe could not be the same as any preincarnate body which seems to be an oxymoron to me. Emmaus |

3 | Is Jesus preincarnate body same as now? | John 1:14 | Emmaus | 40726 | ||
Tomm, "Appearances" is a better word, or Christophany. Appearances can be deceiving, or without true fleshly substance, if you will pardon the expression in a reference to a "preincarnate" or "pre-embodied" appearance of Lord. I just think "preincarnate body" is a bad choice of words for the occurences to which you are referring. Otherwise it is an interesting question to ponder. Was the appearance of the preincarnate Christ in OT Christophanies the same as that of his glorified body after the Ressurrection with the exception of the wounds of the passion? Emmaus |
