(Mat 28:9) And as they went to tell his disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, All hail. And they came and held him by the feet, and worshipped him.
Luke 24:39-43 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.
And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat? And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
And he took it, and did eat before them.
Douglas, get it through your thick head! Jesus was resurrected with a flesh and bone body, the very same body He had before He died, but resurrected, and glorified, and made into a body of flesh that can also move in the spiritual realm as well as the physical. This is God we're talking about here, and He can do anything, even make a flesh and bone body able to exist in either the spiritual or the temporal. Quit being so blind!
But I have a question. Our new bodies will be incorruptible. Conversely corruptible is a quality I associate with mere physicality. Since I would assume that the Risen Lord would also posess an incorruptable body, an idea occured to me today.
Is it possible that "Spirit" is used in different ways in the Bible? If anything, I would not assume that God being Spirit would necessarily mean he was less solid than the universe he created. Rather, in relation to God I would think it is we who are less "real." Less solid. Vapor.
So when Jesus said he was not a spirit, meaning (I assume) an intangible ghost, could it be that he did not mean he was not now SPIRIT (as opposed to a spirit) but that the SPIRIT he now was was MORE than physical rather than less?
Are there different words used in the Hebrew and Greek that are all translated as Spirit?
