Doug you are the one that has a reading comprehension problem
You want glory to mean a spiritual Body ..but that is not what the Greek word for Glory means,
You miss the meaning of almost every scripture because you read them with Armstrong eyes ..completely without discernment.
BTW I think it is funny you had to use the worse translation ever done to make your point..and even with that you can not change the meaning of Glory ,,

No Spiritual Body there..Just Glory Glory Glory |
Okay.

I realize what glory means. You're missing my point.
Joh 17:5 And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
Joh 17:5 Father! Give me glory in your presence now, the same glory I had with you before the world was made.(Good News Bible)
Now the closest definition that fits this verse for "glory" (from your own post) would be:
"a most glorious condition, most exalted state of that condition with God the Father in heaven to which Christ was raised after he had achieved his work on earth "
Now tell me, what does that mean? To me, it says that Jesus is entering into the most glorious condition, the condition that deserved the highest praise, a return to the same conditions he had with God the father.
As I've already shown you countless times, God the father is spirit. Paul said that Christ became a life giving spirit, with a spiritual body, after the resurrection. In order to be exhalted with the same glory, Jesus has to have the SAME CONDITION he had with the father. So if he was flesh and bone AFTER the resurrection, then (by the position you hold) he must be flesh and bone BEFORE the incarnation. If he was spirit and had a spiritual body AFTER the resurrection, then he had to have been spirit and had a spiritual body BEFORE the incarnation or the glory would not be the same. You miss the meaning of almost every scripture because you read them with Armstrong eyes ..completely without discernment.
