Greetings jt! What passage of scripture are you referring to when you say... Christ "went back to being a spirit creature, when the need for a body came to an end". There are many passages of scripture that would strongly argue for a much different understanding. Here are a few passage of scripture that might help clarify... Read Matthew 28 1-15. Was Christ only raised spiritually? See Luke 24:3 also! Did He not eat after His resurrection? Acts 10:41 Did Thomas not place his fingers in Christ wounds suffered during His crucifixion? (See John 20:27) John 5:28-29 (NASB95) 5:28 "Do not marvel at this; for an hour is coming, in which all who are in the tombs will hear His voice, 5:29 and will come forth; those who did the good deeds to a resurrection of life, those who committed the evil deeds to a resurrection of judgment. 1 Corinthians 15:13-14 (NASB95) 15:13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised; 15:14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain. Read all of 1 Corinthians 15 The resurrection of the dead is not referring to only the spiritual man. Steve |

I was just making a personal statement when I said "Christ "went back to being a spirit creature, when the need for a body came to an end". " not quoting a scripture. You make a good point when you mention how his disciples saw him alive after his resurrection. If you read the surrounding text in those scriptures, you will see he was not appearing in the body he had when he died, that's why they did not recognize him. Timothy, not recognizing him, had to go to great extremes to believe this unfamiliar person was Jesus.I just went and read 1 Corinthians 15 and starting in verse 51 it explains that a person going to heaven changes from a corrutible fleshly body to an incorruptable immortal being. I see nothing to reach the odd conclusion, that the Heavens has air breathing, eating, drinking, human beings walking around? |

--"Question: "Will we have physical bodies in Heaven?" Answer: Although the Bible tells us little about what it will be like in heaven, it seems that we will most likely have a physical body, although not in the same sense of “physical” that we have now. First Corinthians 15:52 says that "the dead will be raised incorruptible" and that those who are alive at the time of Christ's return for His saints "shall be changed." Jesus Christ is "the first fruits" of those who have died (1 Corinthians 15:20, 23). This means that He set the example and leads the way. First Corinthians 15:42 says that our "body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption." In a precursor to the believers’ resurrection, some were raised at the time of Christ's resurrection in Matthew 27:52 where it says that their "bodies...were raised." Thomas, in John 20:27, physically touched the body of Christ following His resurrection, so He obviously had a body that was solid. We can expect that all believers’ resurrection will be like that of Christ's. What a wonderful truth! The Bible is not specific, but it seems that we will be able to eat. John, in Revelation 22:2, writes of his vision of the eternal state where he saw that "in the middle of its street, and on either side of the river, was the tree of life, which bore twelve fruits, each tree yielding its fruit every month." This seems to be a reversal of the Genesis 3 punishment where Adam and Eve, and hence all of mankind, were banned from eating from this tree. As for hunger, it appears that there won't be any. Isaiah 49:10 says that there will be no hunger or thirst in the millennial kingdom. This is speaking of mortal men during that period, not of translated saints, but by extension it can be said that if mortals on earth during Christ's Kingdom do not hunger, then surely there will be no hunger in heaven (see also Revelation 7:14-16). Finally, Job wrote that he knew for sure that even after he dies and his skin is long gone, that "in my FLESH I shall SEE God" (Job 19:25 - all caps added for emphasis). So that means our bodies will consist of some kind of glorified flesh. Whatever form we have, we know that it will be perfect, sinless and flawless."-- http://www.gotquestions.org/physical-bodies-heaven.html |
