I might as well say "study philosophy before you throw words like "substance" around, without some explanatory qualifiers.

You can say whatever you want but to suggest one must know or understand philosophy to get into this debate is ridiculous...

I realize much of your religion is based on philosophy, the wisdom of man, but it plays no part whatsoever in understanding the spiritual wisdom that God provided for Christians...

You may think I am appealing to some intellectual elite or whatever. I understood (or misunderstood) you to be mentioning the Pauline teaching on the resurrection body's being different from the bodies we currently endure. I'm fine with that.

But it seemed that you were saying Jesus in heaven was not human any longer. Is that what you were saying?

Likely depends on what your definition of 'human' is...You mean physically, metaphysically??? The bigger question is: will we still be humans after we are resurrected??? Jesus was always there...Jesus/man is relatively new...Will Jesus stay at our level or will we move to his level???

I am saying what the scriptures are saying...I posted the scriptures...They are simple to read...Simple to understand...They don't need interpretation...

Jesus went into the bowels of the earth for 3 days...Did he take his body with him or did he hang it up on a hanger til he got back???

What are the chances of your body penetrating the crust of the earth???

We will get a new body...Jesus got a new body...Is it a human body??? Certainly not in the sense that we know and understand a human body...

We know a human body is a terrestial body...Is a human body also a terrestial, spiritual body??? Jesus didn't spell it out specifically but it certainly appears not...And the wisdom of your philosophers adds nothing to the question...

Is the body of Jesus the same material substance as the body you have??? Clearly not...

Really?!

So, when our Lord was Resurrected He was given a "new body"? What happened to His original body?

When He visited the Disciples that night and they recognized Him and later when Saint Thomas put his fingers in the wounds was this a "new body"? If so, why did this "new body" have the same wounds?

One of these days you REALLY need to tell us what group it is you belong to, because I would love to know where you are learning this stuff.
