Here is proof that Jesus was raised in a physical body of flesh and bone
and then acended to Heaven in this physical body of flesh and bone
that had been made incorruptible and immortal at His resurrection.
He will return in the same way according to the Angels.
The following ocurred after the resurrection.
From you Bible, The New World Translation:
While they were speaking of these things he himself stood in their midst
and said to them: “May YOU have peace.” But because they were terrified,
and had become frightened, they were imagining they beheld a spirit. So
he said to them: “Why are YOU troubled, and why is it doubts come up in
YOUR hearts? See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; feel me and
see, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones just as YOU behold
that I have.” And as he said this he showed them his hands and his feet.
But while they were still not believing for sheer joy and were wondering,
he said to them: “Do YOU have something there to eat?” And they handed
him a piece of broiled fish; and he took it and ate it before their eyes.
(Luke 24:36-43 NWT)
In the above verses Jesus identifies His resurrected body as flesh and
bone and goes on to prove it is a physical body by eating fish. Then
in the following verse Jesus proves to Thomas that His body is truly
a physical body by allowing Thomas to touch Him.
But Thomas, one of the twelve, who was called The Twin, was not with
them when Jesus came. Consequently the other disciples would say to him:
“We have seen the Lord!” But he said to them: “Unless I see in his hands
the print of the nails and stick my finger into the print of the nails
and stick my hand into his side, I will certainly not believe.”
Well, eight days later his disciples were again indoors, and Thomas
with them. Jesus came, although the doors were locked, and he stood in
their midst and said: “May YOU have peace.” Next he said to Thomas:
“Put your finger here, and see my hands, and take your hand and stick
it into my side, and stop being unbelieving but become believing.” In
answer Thomas said to him: “My Lord and my God!”
(John 20:24-28 NWT)
But Jesus now has an incorruptible body of flesh and bone.
And there are heavenly bodies, and earthly bodies; but the glory of
the heavenly bodies is one sort, and that of the earthly bodies is a
different sort.
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption,
it is raised up in incorruption.
(1 Corintians 15:40,42 NWT)
Wasn't Jesus dead and wasn't He resurrected in a incorruptible body
of flesh and bone in which He was transported to heaven?
When, now, they had assembled, they went asking him: “Lord, are you
restoring the kingdom to Israel at this time?” He said to them:
“It does not belong to YOU to get knowledge of the times or seasons
which the Father has placed in his own jurisdiction; but YOU will
receive power when the holy spirit arrives upon YOU, and YOU will
be witnesses of me both in Jerusalem and in all Ju·de´a and Sa·mar´i·a
and to the most distant part of the earth.” And after he had said
these things, while they were looking on, he was lifted up and a cloud
caught him up from their vision. And as they were gazing into the sky
while he was on his way, also, look! two men in white garments stood
alongside them, and they said: “Men of Gal´i·lee, why do YOU stand
looking into the sky? This Jesus who was received up from YOU into
the sky will come thus in the same manner as YOU have beheld him going
into the sky.”
(Acts 1:6-11 NWT)
Notice that Jesus was talking to His disciples in this same flesh and
bone body that he had been resurrected in when He was received up
into heaven. And the angels say he will return in like manner in the
same flesh and bone body.
The following is more proof that the resurrected body is incorruptible
and immortal.
Look! I tell YOU a sacred secret: We shall not all fall asleep
[in death], but we shall all be changed, in a moment, in the twinkling
of an eye, during the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and
the dead will be raised up incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
For this which is corruptible must put on incorruption, and this which
is mortal must put on immortality. But when this which is corruptible
puts on incorruption and this which is mortal puts on immortality,
then the saying will take place that is written: “Death is swallowed
up forever.” “Death, where is your victory? Death, where is your sting?"
(1 Corinthians 15:52-55 NWT)
