God raising Jesus from the dead has shown off the resurrected body; this body was material.


Jesus said
“Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have.””
‭‭Luke‬ ‭24:39‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

Then you have scripture that says no flesh shall inherit the kingdom. (1 Corinthians 15:50).

Many people believe Jesus is going to return with a psychical body, however is it possible he could have came back with his glorified spiritual body instead of just having to be “psychical” in which the disciples did need some type of proof He was resurrected, and then they went out there and risk their lives for him, and warning and encouraging many to on watch, and to hold fast to Christ, and wait for him to return and destroy all material religion, in which the new spiritual connection by and through faith in the Gospel of Christ, to the Father in Heaven.

just some thoughts,
In Christ,

I personally believe more in a spiritual resurrection, and glorified spiritual body given by God and a spiritual body of some type to also unbelievers who may live outside the kingdom.

I believe in a spiritual resurrection for our spirits. And a physical resurrection for our bodies.

Hello Devin,

From what I’ve been taught is that 1 Corinthians 15 speaks about the facts concerning the resurrection.

Thank you for sharing your belief,
In Christ,

I was taught about the resurrection from the Holy Spirit. So I have my own beliefs about it.

Hello to any new reader,

If you took about 10 minutes to read the scripture below you will learn what Paul teaches about the resurrection, I would like to share this with everyone.

Truth about resurrection: 1 Corinthians 15


“But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.

For since by man came death, by Man also came the resurrection of the dead.

For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ all shall be made alive.

But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.

Then comes the end, when He delivers the kingdom to God the Father, when He puts an end to all rule and all authority and power.

For He must reign till He has put all enemies under His feet.

The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.

For “He has put all things under His feet.”

But when He says “all things are put under Him,” it is evident that He who put all things under Him is excepted.

Now when all things are made subject to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subject to Him who put all things under Him, that God may be all in all.

Otherwise, what will they do who are baptized for the dead, if the dead do not rise at all?

Why then are they baptized for the dead?

And why do we stand in jeopardy every hour?

I affirm, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily.

If, in the manner of men, I have fought with beasts at Ephesus, what advantage is it to me?

If the dead do not rise, “Let us eat and drink, for tomorrow we die!”

Do not be deceived: “Evil company corrupts good habits.” Awake to righteousness, and do not sin; for some do not have the knowledge of God.

I speak this to your shame.

But someone will say,

“How are the dead raised up?

And with what body do they come?”

Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies.

And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain—perhaps wheat or some other grain.

But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.

All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds.

There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory.

So also is the resurrection of the dead.

The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.

It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory.

It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power.

It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.

There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.”

The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.

The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven.

As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly.

And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption.

Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.

For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.

So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written:

“Death is swallowed up in victory.”

“O Death, where is your sting?

O Hades, where is your victory?”

The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law.

But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.”
‭‭I Corinthians‬ ‭15:20-58‬ ‭NKJV‬‬

The bodily resurrection of the Lord Jesus is basic to the Christian faith, as revealed in Scripture.
I didn't say anything about that I think. I mentioned the spiritual resurrection along with the physical resurrection. It was something I was shown by God. And apparently I'm not the only one that has believes this way. Have a look at what these people say, I'll just quote the first paragraph to save room, the whole article is a good read: HAVE YOU BEEN RESURRECTED, SPIRITUALLY? — Calvary Church

We just celebrated the resurrection of Jesus. The resurrection is good news, because it is victory over sin and death. When we put our faith in the cross and resurrection of Jesus Christ, we are revived, resurrected and reborn, spiritually. But why do we need to be reborn or resurrected Spiritually? Because all mankind is dead, spiritually.

Spirit beings cannot be seen Matt, so therefore to be seen spirit beings who interact with humans take on a physical body. Jesus gave his flesh and blood as a sacrifice for our redemption, but he too appeared in the flesh several times after his resurrection, not in his body because at no time was he recognized physically, and likely not even in the same body that he had appeared in before, for the same reason. One time he came through locked doors and appeared, indicating that he came through the doors and then materialized in their presence.
(John 20:19, 20) . . .When it was late that day, the first day of the week, and the doors were locked where the disciples were for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in their midst and said to them: “May you have peace.” 20 After saying this, he showed them his hands and his side. Then the disciples rejoiced at seeing the Lord.

The Bible says very clearly that flesh and blood cannot enter the heavenly Kingdom, and the Bible indicates Jesus was raised a spirit: (1 Corinthians 15:45) . . .“The first man Adam became a living person.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
(1 Peter 3:18) . . .Christ died once for all time for sins, a righteous person for unrighteous ones, in order to lead you to God. He was put to death in the flesh but made alive in the spirit. . .
Never forget Jesus gave his flesh and blood as a sacrifice, no sacrifice can be taken back, or then is is no sacrifice.
