“Just for fun though, anyone got a good answer to what Jesus did with his body if he was resurrected and God doesn’t have a body? (Please don’t tell me he died again, or that he put it somewhere safe...)”

Jesus’ body was transformed into His glorified body at his ascension, forty days after his resurrection. This glorified body is depicted in the Book of Revelation, in the description of the Second Coming. The bodies of the resurrected saints who follow Christ will also be similarly transformed, although I think they will surely be less glorious. So, God does have a body. It would be more accurate to say that God is not confined to a body.

1 Cor. 15:39-39 explains this:

“39 All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.

40 There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:

43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:

44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.

46 Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.

47 The first man is of the earth, earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven.

48 As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.

49 And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.”

The first man, Adam, and his progeny, have physical bodies, like our habitation on Earth. The second Adam, Jesus, was given a spiritual body, since he is the Lord and his habitation is in Heaven, which is not like our physical abode. When we live in Heaven, we’ll get spiritual bodies as well.
