It seems that there are several people who hold a belief that Christ has stopped existing as a flesh and spirit being. Here is the thread to discuss it.
(Romans 8:21-23) "Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God. {22} For we know that the whole creation groaneth and travaileth in pain together until now. {23} And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body."
(Philippians 3:18-21) "(For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: {19} Whose end is destruction, whose God is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) {20} For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: {21} Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself."

I'm a bit confused. Are you speaking of Jesus here?
Because “Christ” is not Jesus’ last name (surname). “Christ” comes from the Greek word Christos, meaning the “anointed one”.
So , just checking that you mean Jesus Christ?
And I agree, Jesus Christ, the Glorified Lamb of God, is glorified flesh and spirit. The new man. We are the Body , not yet glorified.
(1 Corinthians 6:16-20) "What? know ye not that he which is joined to an harlot is one body? for two, saith he, shall be one flesh. {17} But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit. {18} Flee fornication. Every sin that a man doeth is without the body; but he that committeth fornication sinneth against his own body. {19} What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? {20} For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God’s."
And even now, our bodies are the very temple of God and the Holy Ghost. This isn't going to change when the temple is glorified as the second Adam.
Is Christ now only a spirt or still a resurrected man

Where is it stated in scripture that anyones body would of necessity performing that function.can a body be in two places at once?

note that we assume the redemption of "our body" is taken to mean "me, on a personal level, after i have physically died," when these are all assumptions, and this passage may be taken completely differently, by someone who has "died" to self, and now lives in Christ.
Christ is the Holy Spirit. (God)
Christ cannot be flesh today.
1 Corinthians 15:50 What I am saying, dear brothers and sisters, is that our physical bodies cannot inherit the Kingdom of God. These dying bodies cannot inherit what will last forever.
It's really quite simple: God is spirit. The Father is greater than the Son. Jesus went to the Father.It seems that there are several people who hold a belief that Christ has stopped existing as a flesh and spirit being. Here is the thread to discuss it.
Jesus' would have to, if we are the Body of Christ, at least it seems so to meWhere is it stated in scripture that anyones body would of necessity performing that function.
John 17:22And the glory which thou gavest me I have given them; that they may be one, even as we are one: 23I in them, and thou in me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the world may know that thou hast sent me, and hast loved them, as thou hast loved me.Jesus' would have to, if we are the Body of Christ, at least it seems so to me
