As far as what I’ve always been told ...in as you have borne the earthly image, you shall also bear the image of the heavenly...as yet off in the future after this body of dust goes into the ground and is covered with dirt. What I’m asking is that really what is being said ...or to bear the heavenly image now by laying down the earthly image and taking up resurrection power of Life in the Son. Am I understanding that correctly? As in Today?
Matt 22:29-30
29 Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God.
30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
KJV
Apostle Paul well explained this in 1 Corinthians 15 and 2 Corinthians 5. Even Solomon revealed it in Ecclesiastes 12:5-7.
It's Jewish traditions that keep hanging onto the idea of Christ's future Salvation being about a new flesh body. The spiritual body looks, feels, and operates like a flesh body, but it is not a flesh body. It is of the other dimension. In the new heavens and a new earth, we will live on the earth, in a spiritual body, build houses, plant vineyards, etc.
