who says that is was identical - no one. On the contrary the resurrected body is not pure spirit but of spiritual nature. Christ's glorious body is prefigured in John 6:1-13 where mere matter is multiplied by the divine power.

This is in according with the writings of Malachi 11For from the rising of the sun even unto the going down of the same my name shall be great among the Gentiles; and in every place incense shall be offered unto my name, and a pure offering: for my name shall be great among the heathen, saith the LORD of hosts. -- the purest of all offerings in heaven..

Exactly!

This is so evocative of the Eucharist as shared by us in orthodoxy around the world and through time.
