Peace to you Heart2Soul.
When I saw your title, the first thought that came to mind was Jude 9.
No doubt the Devil was clueless about where Jesus body went, or what happened to it, but just as we do not know where Moses body went, we do not know where Jesus body went.
You mentioned a dilemma.
You said "If Jesus ghost left his body"... I think you refer to
Matthew 27:50 When Jesus had cried out again in a loud voice, He yielded up His spirit.
Reading right to left...
τὸ (Greek - pneuma - spirit) πνεῦμα Ὁ δὲ Ἰησοῦς πάλιν, κράξας φωνῇ μεγάλῃ, ἀφῆκεν
So, my using spirit instead of ghost won't confuse you... I hope.
I understand then that the spirit is not like a shadowy figure
as many people believe, but rather, as the Bible says, like breath
pneuma: wind, spirit.
I'm reminded of Adam, when he was made alive. It was that same breath, or spirit, that made him alive.
Genesis 2:7
7 then
the Lord God formed the man of dust from the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living creature.
Once Adam died, he expired, and that spirit (breath of life) went out.
The Bible says, "
the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it." Ecclesiastes 12:7
Jesus body did not return to the dust... come to think of it, the Bible does not say it was from the dust, but "a body have you prepared for me" (Hebrews 10:5).
Jesus' body didn't decay... not because it couldn't, since it was flesh, but God did not allow it to... fulfilling prophecy - Act 2:25-27
Did Jesus' spirit return to his body?
The answer we evidently get from the Bible is No.
Jesus got a new body - an incorruptable one, not made of flesh, but a heavenly spirit body, (1 Corinthians 15:42-56) and far greater than even those of his heavenly companions, or brothers. (Hebrews 1:9)
Based on the scriptures, when God sends forth the spirit, what is created has been made new. Psalms 104:30 -
When you send forth your Spirit, they are created...
An old body does not work... but rather,
God gives it a body.
It's as Jesus illustrated. "... no one puts new wine into old wineskins. If he does, the wine will burst the skins - and the wine is destroyed, and so are the skins. But new wine is for fresh wineskins." - Mark 2:22
This understanding removes any apparent dilemma.
