first thanks for the reply, second, we will have a resurrected body not a spiritual body in nature. you quoted Luke 24:39 correctly. but our bodies, as his is, will be powered by the Spirit, and not by blood, (see Leviticus 17:14a). not a Spirit body itself, but a body that is "powered by, or is dominated by the Spirit. supportive scripture, 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". here the word "spiritual" which describe the body is the greek word,The natural body is temporally physical, but the spiritual body is eternal, even for those who will "resurrect unto damnation
G4152 πνευματικός pneumatikos (pnev-ma-tiy-kos') adj.
1. spiritual, pertaining to the spirit.
2. that which is motivated and controlled through the spirit.
if one would notice the second definition, it tells it all. example, it's an adjectives that end in "kos", which do not describe the substance out of which something is made. it describe the force that is animating the thing in question. it's like saying on the one hand, "Is this a steel ship or a wooden ship?" and saying on the other hand, "Is this a nuclear-powered ship or a steam powered ship?" this adjective do not describe the type of body we will have, but the source that power it. hence a natural body is powered by the blood, which is the life of all flesh, again (see Leviticus 17:14a), or it's a spirit-powered body. But it's still a body just as Luke 24:39 states, but without blood.
so you're correct in that "The natural body is temporally physical, with BLOOD. but the spiritual body is eternal with the spirit.
