Man's Spirit & His Glorified Body

Man’s Spirit & His Glorified Body​

“But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it [heaven] we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform [remodel] our lowly body to be like His glorious body...” (Phil. 3:20-21).

A glorified, transformed body is one that is no longer subject to aging, illnesses, diseases, deterioration, or death. Apparently, this is the kind of body our Lord currently has. At His death, His physical body underwent a transformation, a glorification. And it was this living form that appeared to His disciples on the mountain, alongside the living forms of Moses and Elijah.

Moses and Elijah, two servants among the greatest, now possess glorified, transformed bodies. And those bodies are very much alive somewhere in God’s domain, for they appeared with Jesus centuries after they departed this planet. They are not sleeping. Nor was Samuel sleeping when God allowed a medium to “call him up” to give King Saul a message of death (1 Sam., chapter 28). He was very much alive.

My spirit and your spirit, the real you and me, will be clothed with some form of glorified body at death to await the resurrection, at which time we will receive our eternal body. “But God gives it a body as He has chosen...It is sown [buried] a natural [biological] body; it is raised a spiritual body” (1 Cor. 15:35-54). Amen and glory to our Awesome Creator!​

Amen!

I am surprised how often the premise of a 1 to 1 correlation between the body buried and the body raised is disputed.


Do you think Jesus could have walked through a wall prior to Calvary?

Do you think Jesus could have walked through a wall prior to Calvary?

Yes, just as He walked on water prior to Calvery.

Yes, just as He walked on water prior to Calvery.

I agree.

Since the body Jesus had could walk through walls prior to Calvary, what was transformed (you don't have to describe everything; just give me an example of transformation the body of Jesus experienced as a consequence of resurrection)
Did this body that could walk through walls before Calvary age?

Following His resurrection, He possessed a glorified body - somewhat different from his physical body. No more comments at this time. My Internet Service has been off 3 days. It's now back on. Got a lot to get caught-up on.​

Are you sure? Are you sure the glorification of Jesus references his physical body of flesh and bone?

John 1:14
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 12:23
But Jesus answered them by saying, “The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified.

I do not think Jesus was speaking about his physical body of flesh and bone. How about you?

John 13:31-32
When Judas had gone out, Jesus said, “Now the Son of Man is glorified, and God is glorified in him.

John 17:1
Jesus spoke these things; and raising His eyes to heaven, He said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify Your Son, so that the Son may glorify You,

Psalm 8:5
Yet You have made him a little lower than God, And You crown him with glory and majesty!

Hebrews 2:9
But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus, because of His suffering death crowned with glory and honor, so that by the grace of God He might taste death for everyone.

Perhaps you were thinking of something like....

Philippians 3:20-21
For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; who will transform the body of our lowly condition into conformity with his glorious body, by the exertion of the power that he has even to subject all things to Himself.

Some within Churchianity say his body was glorified, usually because they equate his post-resurrection behavior of walking through walls and the ability to change his appearance and appear and disappear seemingly at will as evidence of a changed body. Is the Churchianity rendering correct? Upon which scripture would that be based?

Perhaps more importantly, why would changes in Jesus' body be relevant too man's spirit and glorified body. The 1 Corinthians 15 text couches its commentary in the created design of humans, the fall into sin, and the problem of mortality. None of that is applicable to Jesus.

Take your time. The thread is not disappearing anytime soon .
