When I kiss you, my lips touch your cheek.

I'll pass.

And, to work “by the numbers,” so to speak, it is the risen body of which we partake, a “spiritual body,” says St. Paul. I don't know how to think of this, but I'm pretty sure it's not cannibalism.

No, unlike your metaphysical christ the spiritual body of Christ was manifestly physical, and stands in contrast to a body whose appearance did not conform to what he materially was, thus,

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. (Luke 24:39)

Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing. (John 20:27)

Nowhere was Christ present as an inanimate object or like a phantom.

If you’re disagreeing with me, which I’m not clear about, it’s probably going to be too much for this forum.

Here I’ll just loosely say that I dont think Paul means that the “pneumatikon” body is somehow less than the the “psychikon” body. As you say the risen Christ is palpable and able to eat.
