Yeah, well as I said to the other poster in the last few hours, Jesus met with Elijah and Moses on the Mount of Transfiguration, transfigured for the moments He was speaking with them, then came back down the mountain with the three disciples again in His flesh body. So just because He was a form of flesh (that could walk through walls) in the few days He rejoined the Apostles, doesn't mean He went to Heaven that way. I would imagine Elijah and Moses (or Enoch) will take on the flesh again when it is their time to die in the "plaza" of Jerusalem as the two witnesses, but at the moment they are transfigured as Jesus was for those few moments as He stood with them on that mount.

When the bible says "flesh and blood", I think it means no flesh, not even "flesh and bones".

Think what you want. I'm gladd that still to some degree it's a "free" country (I wouldn't be too loud about that). But this is where you and I may be a little different. It's the blood part of "flesh and blood" that makes the ordinary material man acceptible in the Kingdom of Heaven but not in the Kingdom of God. But according to "flesh and bone" (which thr risewn Jesus was, is, and always will be) which He attested Himself to be and showed eye-witnesses to be, that's what counts to me. Now, I am a scientist and of a scientists mind. I have little regard for the opinion of others excvept when laid by the side of Scripture it consistently matches.

In the trade we always said, "In God we trust. Everybody else needs to bring data." And in this sphere of knowledge, the Holy Scripture context is the verifiable standard environment against which one's data interpretation is measured.

I hope I am making my position clear.

Jesus:

"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. And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet" (Lk. 24:39 AV).

If you do not accept this as a fact, you would be making this verse and its author liats.

Apostle John:

"That which was from the beginning, which we have heard, which we have seen with our eyes, which we have looked upon, and our hands have handled, of the Word of life; . . ." (1Jn. 1:1 AV). As a fact, flesh without blood is marvelously preserved in the right conditions, for more than three times Adam's life span. Enliven this with water, antibiotics, and the Holy Ghost would make a pretty durable specimen,

I don't think the above easy to contradict, do you?
