K. So I understand that most Christians believe in the Trinity, but they also believe that Christ was resurrected, correct? Well, if they believe that, then where did Christ's body go after resurrection? If He is one with God, and they don't have bodies, where did Christs body go after resurrection?

Ok, so he was taken into heaven, but if He is one with the Father, without a body, then where did his body go? If he is just spirit, where is his body now? I'm not trying to be rude, or to tell anyone that the trinity is wrong, I just want to know what you think happened to his body. This has nothing to do with that crack pot show about Christ's tomb, so don't even go there!! Just a serious question about your beliefs and what you think.

Do you think there is any way that Christ could still have His body?

If you've read many of my answers on this subject, you know what I think....
First, I don't believe in the Trinity- In the Old Testament, Moses tells us that when God created Adam, He said, "Let us make man in our image, after our likeness." (Moses also said that Adam "begat a son in his own likeness, after his image; and called his name Seth.") To me, this means that God (the Father) looks like a man- He's not some ambiguous, ethereal, shape-less life-force that just floats out there in space. If God were to appear to a human being, He would be VERY recognizably human-looking, and not simply because that's who He's visiting, but because we were created to LOOK LIKE Him.
On numerous occasions in the New Testament Jesus to God. This illustrates that They are not the same person. Yes, Jesus said, "He that hath seen me hath seen the Father." Have you ever seen a son that looks just like his father? Well, I don't see any reason that Jesus shouldn't look like His Father.
It seems that it was very important to Jesus to prove to His Apostles that He had a body after He rose from the grave. He had them touch His hands, He ate fish and honeycomb on the beach, etc.
His life's mission was to teach us, so what was the point of Him having a post-mortal body? Maybe having a body is important for things that will happen after we die.
There are things about having a body that I really like, and I feel that heaven wouldn't be heaven if those things weren't available...
my mom's pot roast, chocolate, shrimp, the joy of marriage, the wonder of a child's hug... how can you hug without a body?
Why would a loving God give us these wonderful exeriences and then take them away, never to have again? I don't think He would. Our bodies are exactly that- ours,... forever. He gave them to us, and they are ours- with all the flaws and failings. I think that after we die and are resurected, as Jesus was, our bodies will be made perfect, no MS, no glasses, no asthma, no acne...
Yes, I believe that God the Father has a body, and yes, Jesus still has His body...

Jesus does have a body. He is God made flesh. After the resurrection, he ministered for 40 days and was seen by multitudes before ascending into Heaven.
His resurrected body was substantially different, though. From what the Bible describes, it did not seem to be bound by the normal laws of physics and space. Kind of like Neo at the end of the first Matrix film. He regularly appeared and disappeared (teleported?) to various people. Many Christians believe that this is the glorified state that our own bodies will take on after the bodily resurrection of the dead.

He ascended into heaven & is sitting at the right hand of the Father.The Bible says that we will have our bodies transformed to be made unto is image.Therefore Christ's body was also transformed.That's why they cannot find His body in a grave.

This is heavy so follow me. Its kinda like WATER. its 1part hydrogen 2 parts oxygen. so in effect you have 3 components. they are individual of each other yet make a valuable life sustaining liquid that nourishes all of animal and plant life. Now say God , the Holy spirit, and the Son are all individual and yet when together make the Trinity. and in much the same way as water provides a necessity for life so to does the Trinity provide life sustaining truths. Not sure if I answered your Q but you can email me if you like.

What does the writer say ? John 3:sixteen "“For God enjoyed the worldwide plenty that he gave his in simple terms-begotten Son, in simple terms so actual everyone workout faith in him won't be destroyed yet have eternal existence". So, workout faith interior the ~ Son of God. A separate individual, a individual. no longer a god-individual area of a triad god. The Trinity isn't in keeping with scriptures, yet stems from historical Babylonish teachings.

Jesus is God in human flesh .In John 1:1 " In the begging was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God".In John 1:14 " And the Word was made flesh , and dwelt among us full of grace and truth".After his Resurrection Jesus went to heaven and offered his blood as a sacrifice for payment to pay for the sins of the believers.three in one God the Father (in heaven ) God the son Jesus in Flesh and God the Holy Spirit.

Jesus's soul was brought to heaven and then returned to his body which was resurrected. After appearing to the apostles his entire body/soul was raised to the heavens and we can only assume that Jesus cast off the unnecessary body once reaching heaven.

The trinity was apostate doctrines introduced after the Apostle John died. Paul said that false teachings would come about.
God is one and only one person not an organisation.
When studying the scriptures in entire the notion of the trinity becomes illogical and often it is described as a mystery which is contrary to the purpose of the Bible were God has revealed himself to mankind. The tradition remains and people insist in the dogma of the trinity which has no reference in the entire Bible at all, it is all in church teachings.

I believe the same thing happen to His body just like Moses and Elijah: God made it dissolve as He was going to Heaven.

God made all of heaven and earth.
God sent Jesus to earth to die on the cross for our sins. He is not only part of God...He is God. Jesus' body rose from the tomb and ascended into heaven...all of him.
God sent the Holy Spirit to dwell within each and every one of us who believe in Him. The Holy Spirit is also God.
