Question: "Does Jesus have a physical body in heaven?"

Answer: The physical, bodily resurrection of Jesus is foundational to Christian doctrine and our hope of heaven. Because Jesus rose from the dead with a physical body, every Christian has the guarantee of his own bodily resurrection (John 5:21, 28; Romans 8:23). Now Jesus is in heaven, where He is pictured as sitting in a place of authority, at the right hand of God (1 Peter 3:22). But is Jesus’ body in heaven the same as His body on earth?

The Bible is clear that Jesus’ body was resurrected. The tomb was empty. He was recognizable to those who knew Him. Jesus showed Himself to all His disciples after His resurrection, and more than five hundred people were eyewitnesses to His earthly, post-resurrection presence (1 Corinthians 15:4–6). In Luke 24:16, on the road to Emmaus, two of Jesus’ disciples “were kept from recognizing [Jesus].” However, later, “their eyes were opened and they recognized Him” (verse 31). It’s not that Jesus was unrecognizable; it’s that, for a time, the disciples were supernaturally restrained from recognizing Him.

Later in the same chapter of Luke, Christ makes it plain to His disciples that He does have a physical body; He is not a disembodied spirit: “See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have” (Luke 24:39). After spending forty days with His disciples, Jesus ascended bodily into heaven (Acts 1:9). Jesus is still human, and He has a human body in heaven right now. His body is different, however; earthly human flesh is perishable, but heavenly bodies are imperishable (1 Corinthians 15:50). Jesus has a physical body, with a difference. His resurrected body is designed with eternity in view.

First Corinthians 15:35–49 describes what the body of the believer will be like in heaven. Our heavenly bodies will differ from our earthly ones in type of flesh, in splendor, in power, and in longevity. The apostle Paul also states that the believer’s body will be an image of Christ’s body (verse 49). Paul discusses this subject again in 2 Corinthians, where he compares earthly bodies to tents and heavenly bodies to heavenly dwellings (2 Corinthians 5:1–2). Paul says that, once the earthly tents come off, Christians will not be left “naked”—that is, without a body to live in (2 Corinthians 5:3). When the new body is “put on,” we will go from mortality to immortality (2 Corinthians 5:4).

So, we know that the Christian will have a heavenly body like Jesus’ “glorious body” (Philippians 3:21). At His incarnation Jesus took on human flesh, and at His resurrection His body was glorified—although He retained the scars (John 20:27). He will forever be the God-Man, sacrificed for us. Christ, the Creator of the universe, will forever stoop to our level, and He will be known to us in heaven in a tangible form that we can see, hear, and touch (Revelation 21:3–4; 22:4).

No we don't know anything of the sort! We simply read am for book, and some would wonder if those who reported it to those who wrote it were on cheap weed.

yes indeed, christianity is real because Jesus is a real historical person whose birth was miraculous, his life was remarkable, his death was unarguable and his resurrection was real yet divine.
His is still alive today as the God- man and gives everlasting life to those who trust in him.

*** 1 Cor15:44-50
44
When buried, it is a physical body; when
raised, it will be a spiritual body. There is, of
course, a physical body, so there has to be
a spiritual body. 45 For the scripture says,
“The first man, Adam, was created a living
being”; but the last Adam is the life-giving
Spirit. 46 It is not the spiritual that comes
first, but the physical, and then the spiritual.
47 The first Adam, made of earth, came from
the earth; the second Adam came from
heaven. 48 Those who belong to the earth
are like the one who was made of earth;
those who are of heaven are like the one
who came from heaven. 49 Just as we wear
the likeness of the man made of earth, so we
will wear the likeness of the Man from
heaven.
50 What I mean, friends, is that what is
made of flesh and blood cannot share in
God's Kingdom, and what is mortal cannot
possess immortality."

Contradiction 1.

1 Corinthians 15:44 " It is sown a physical body; IT IS RAISED UP A SPIRITUAL BODY "

Spiritual is that which is opposed to physical , any objection ?

2. They never for once recognized him with facial appearance. It's always by his voice or manner of speaking .

Why ? Same body indeed. grin grin

Luke 24:35 of the account you reported above says " Then they related the events on the road and how he became known to them by the breaking of the bread "


If it were same body, they would have recognized with by Facial appearance.

Judges 13:6,20 an angel also went to heaven with physical body as Manoah and his wife watch , does that make the angel human ?

Spiritual is not Always opposed to physical, for example,

1 Corinthians 2:14-15 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.
But he that is spiritual judgeth all things, yet he himself is judged of no man.

Paul talks about the natural man and Spiritual man Although although both are physical people but they are different.

the brothers of Joseph couldnt recognise Joseph when then saw him does it also mean it was another person not Joseph?
Jesus body was glorified.

1 Corinthians 15:44
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
Just as in the case of 1 corinth 2 :14-15,
It was raised a spiritual body does not mean it was not physical.

From your wacky analogy Joseph's body was glorified too.
********
1 Cor 15:44 (resurrection from earthly physical body to spiritual body) & 1 Cor 2:14-15 (spiritually minded thinking as opposed to carnal,worldly mindset) .
The spiritual is opposite of the physical.
No dey deceive yourself.

Romans 8:5-11
"5 Those who live according to the flesh have
their minds set on what the flesh desires;
but those who live in accordance with the
Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit
desires. 6 The mind governed by the flesh is
death, but the mind governed by the Spirit is
life and peace. 7 The mind governed by the
flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to
God’s law, nor can it do so. 8 Those who
are in the realm of the flesh cannot please
God.
9 You, however, are not in the realm of the
flesh but are in the realm of the Spirit, if
indeed the Spirit of God lives in you. And if
anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ,
they do not belong to Christ. 10 But if Christ
is in you, then even though your body is
subject to death because of sin, the Spirit
gives life[ d ] because of righteousness. 11
And if the Spirit of him who raised Jesus
from the dead is living in you, he who raised
Christ from the dead will also give life to
your mortal bodies because of[ e] his Spirit
who lives in you."

Stop twisting the holy Bible....
