I wasn’t suggesting that Jesus was a “ghost.” It’s just that He clearly existed in a different state — a “glorified body” — than His natural human form. He was able to pass through doors, for example ... and He wasn’t immediately recognized by the two disciples on the road to Emmaus.

He had the same molecule-defying powers before the Resurrection: He walked on water and was transported immediately two or three miles to the other side of the lake with the Disciples. He also escaped somehow from the crowd that was set to stone Him before the Resurrection.

He voluntarily died for us by putting off His divine nature and died and was risen in His human flesh and blood body, same as Lazarus.

And He was taken up to heaven in this same physical flesh and bones and blood body as were Enoch and Elijah.

There, after the Ascension, He is seated in a glorified form, but as John writes, what that form is, we do not yet know because we have not yet seen Him in that form. (And John would know, having been a witness to Him after He was risen, as well as before.)

If Jesus was raised as a God in some different semi-spiritual state, then we are dead in our old dead man of sin, because the Word says we are born again by the same Spirit that raised Him from the dead.

.
Yeshua was resurrected in exactly the state he explained to Nicodemus in John 3. Able to move invisibly through a room like the wind.

If you lack an understanding of what Yeshua was explaining in John 3, you probably think that you are already saved (born again) but you definitely are not.
