Re: Is Jesus Sitting on a Throne in His Flesh?

(and I don't remember reading where He ever gave up His resurrected physical body, so there is no scriptural reason to think He no longer has it)

Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

Luke 24:40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.

Luke 24:41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?

Luke 24:42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.

Luke 24:43 And he took it, and did eat before them

John 20:25 The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

John 20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.

John 20:28 And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

John 20:29 Jesus saith unto him, Thomas, because thou hast seen me, thou hast believed: blessed are they that have not seen, and yet have believed.
This is all true but this does not mean there wasn't a change afterwards, before He ascended to heaven.

Also, nobody knows what a spiritual body (see 1cor 15) is for sure. We do know it is different. Jesus was able to change his appearance or make them not recognize him as well as walk through walls or something to that effect. It may be that his body was changed into that spiritual body but that spiritual body is a body of flesh and bones yet with some major differences.

We will also be changed into that body we are told
