Christians - What will our new bodies be like when the resurrection takes place?

Answer 1

1 Corinthians 15:
35But someone may ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?" 36How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. 37When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. 38But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. 39All flesh is not the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. 40There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another.

Answer 2

I think they'll be a light color, but not pure white. I doubt if they'll have, you know, reproductive organs. I think all that stuff is over at that point. They will probably have ears so you can hear the harps and listen to the choir. I doubt if there is going to be any rock and roll or electric guitars, but there may be Lawrence Welk and possibly even a good polka. I don't know what you would eat during resurrection, they're are going to be an awful lot of people in line, it could take a while and you might get hungry. I doubt if there will be fast food, or pizza, or anything like that, so you might not need a mouth unless of course there's a cafeteria thing set up. Hopefully there will be healthy choices if its buffet style. You'll have wings, those would be fun to have, and you could hover as you wait to be judged. That would be alright if it isn't too tiring. If you did get into heaven, you could probably go places on them. Maybe to the game, if they have that stuff. Golf, tennis, baseball, football and all the rest, were mostly invented after the bible was written. They might not have that stuff available. If it is though, admission is sure to be free, and you'll never have to worry about scalpers. I would hope there would be movies and TV. That would mean for sure you'll have and legs and a butt so you can sit on the couch and watch. Eternity is a long time though, and you're bound to have seen everything after a few million years. Even movies like Forest Gump and Casablanca might get old after hundreds of thousands of viewings. Even worse would be if there were only Mary Poppins and Sound of Music. It could be that you won't need a body at all----maybe just your brain will be resurrected. If so, it will probably have a shield around it so you bump into the other brains that are being resurrected. I strongly believe that somehow you will know which brains belong to the people you love. Whether there will be spinal columns attached, I don't know. I'm sure that God has a sense of humor though, so I advise you to be ready for anything.

Answer 3

When Christ's body was in the grave, yet He was active in His Spirit.
When He Rose the third day, it was his Glorious Resurrection Body. It was not just a continued "spirit" existence; for He said "A Spirit hath not flesh and bones, as you see Me have". Note, the Resurrection Body was of "flesh and bones", not of "flesh and blood".

In I Corinthians you can read that we are not unclothed (discarding the physical body); rather, we are clothed upon ... our mortal bodies put ON immortality.

What will our new bodies be like when the resurrection takes place? If we are partakers of the Resurrection, then our Resurrected Glorified bodies will be like Christ's Resurrection Body, except that His body will bear the marks of the atonement.

Answer 4

Not physical realm bodies...

Peter indicates that the current physical realm will no longer exist.

2Peter 3:10 But the day of the Lord will come like a thief. The heavens will disappear with a roar. Fire will destroy everything in them. God will judge the earth and everything in it. 11 So everything will be destroyed. And what kind of people should you be? You should lead holy and godly lives.

Mark 9:1 Jesus said to them, “What I’m about to tell you is true. Some who are standing here will not die before they see God’s kingdom coming with power.”

1Corinthians 4:20 The kingdom of God is not a matter of talk. It is a matter of power.

1Corinthians 15:23 But here is the order of events. Christ is the first of those who rise from the dead. When he comes back, those who belong to him will be raised. 24 Then the end will come. Christ will destroy all rule, authority and power. He will hand over the kingdom to God the Father. 25 Christ must rule until he has put all his enemies under his control. 26 The last enemy that will be destroyed is death.

1Corinthians 15:50 Brothers and sisters, here is what I’m telling you. Bodies made of flesh and blood can’t share in the kingdom of God. And what dies can’t share in what never dies. 51 Listen! I am telling you a mystery. We will not all die. But we will all be changed. 52 That will happen in a flash, as quickly as you can wink an eye. It will happen when the last trumpet sounds. The trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised to live forever. And we will be changed. 53 Our natural bodies don’t last forever. They must be dressed with what does last forever. What dies must be dressed with what does not die.

54 In fact, that is going to happen. What does not last will be dressed with what lasts forever. What dies will be dressed with what does not die. Then what is written will come true. It says, “Death has been swallowed up. It has lost the battle.”

Answer 5

Of course we really don't know, but I have heard our bodies will look like ourselves but of spirit and not flesh, and no one will be older than 33. Flesh ages and can be corrupted by disease, but not the spirit body.

Answer 6

In Job it says fresher than in youth. Young and beautiful because it will be perfect. No inherited sickness or diseases.
No alergies.

Answer 7

Let me get this straight.....you actually think that rotting corpses and bones will magically reanimate? Like in "night of the living dead"?
Please.
That's preposterous.

Answer 8

I doubt that they will be bodies as we think of them now. Guess we will just have to wait and see.

Answer 9

They will be half way between material and pure spirit, have no gender, no sex organs. We will be able to completely digest our food and won't need excretory organs.

Answer 10

Your bodies will look like robotic automatons. They will mirror your minds in life.
