How could Jesus have resurrected in physical form when the bible says we part from flesh after death?

Answer 1

It also says the flesh can not inherit the kingdom.

Personally, I don't believe in resurrection, as it is stated by Mainstream Christianity. Pagan religions had forms of resurrection as well... but they were purely spiritual teachings and represented being born again. Much like the rapture. If one were to actually look up the word, it means to have great emotion. I wonder how they changed this definition to mean what they wanted it to without anyone really noticing.

Answer 2

Well, you've got part of it right, we do part from the flesh when we die. I'm sorry I don't have verses to back this up, but I'm pretty sure it's in Revelation and the Gospels somewhere; Jesus rose from the dead, body and all and went to Heaven after the forty days on earth. However, those who go to Heaven die on earth first, and our physical bodies stay here until Jesus comes the second time and he brings us our bodies. Everyone headed for heaven before Jesus comes back goes to paradise (that's where Jesus told the criminal on the cross they were going) and then when Jesus comes back, the New Jerusalem (the ultimate Heaven) comes and that's when judgment happens. After this time and around this time, there is much debate as to what actually happened, because there isn't a straight answer from the Bible about the chronological order of the Rapture, tribulation (7 yr.s) and the thousand year reign happen. That doesn't mean that the Bible is wrong, it just means we don't have the answer for this one particular part, but really, Jesus dying to save us from our sins and Hell and then him rising again is the most important part. Also, about the Jesus bones in the tomb, there was a great debate on the Discovery Channel between the guy who made the documentary and several theologians. In the debate, it showed that there are a lot of holes in the bones being Jesus' bones. No one will ever find Jesus' bones on earth, because he rose again. No one can prove that Jesus did not rise.

Answer 3

"We" excludes Jesus. I do not know sis if you could accept the fact Jesus was born without a soul. He is the awakened spirit in that body labeled Jesus. The truth, in my opinion, is that a spirit always need a body and vice versa. If we depart from your body, we will return in future time, assuming we have not completed our task, to another body to continue learning until we finally have reached the stage of where Jesus was. Right now, we are death in spirit, that's why there's a Christian ritual called baptism solely symbolizing the awakening of the spirit. The awakening of the spirit is the death of the soul. But since this is just a ritual, it is far from us to experience really what it's like being a living spirit like Jesus. It would take a lot of hard work to get rid of our ignorance or ego in one life time. The desire of the spirit to a body normally gives rise to a soul. And depends to how much we have learned, the voice of the spirit can either be muted, minimized or maximized indirectly proportional to the strength or weakness of our ego. If we can get rid of our ego after several incarnations, the last life would involved into taking the last body with you permanently just as in Resurrection. Jesus was able to fuse the his spirit and body permanently. He was able to overcome his own karma.

Answer 4

Jesus brought people out of the graves with Him and they walked around in Jerusalem before ascending to heaven. They were recognized by people so they had their body. Our bodies go into the ground and our spirit goes to heaven. However when we come back to earth with Jesus we will get our bodies back but they will be like Jesus' body. If we are alive when Jesus returns to the earth then we will be changed in a twinkling of an eye to be like Jesus. I heard something about DNA doing all that it will do by the age of 30 or 33. Hopefully, I will get my 30 yr. old body back.

Answer 5

The bible does not say we part from the flesh after death. It says that the spirit returns to God who gave it. What's the difference? It's in our understanding of the difference between the spirit and the soul. Notice the spirit "returns" to God, implying where it came from in the first place. This is not referring to the pre-existence of souls (as in "Raiders of the Lost Ark") but instead is referring to what in the Hebrew is "ruach", which means wind, spirit, breath of life. It's the energy, the life force, that comes from God.
In Genesis we read that God breathed into Adam and he became a living soul. It did not say he received a soul, but became one.
A soul is a spirit / body unity. Like putting batteries in a flashlight.
Just before Jesus breathed His last, He said "Father, unto you I commit my spirit." He did not commit His soul.
Jesus died, then was resurrected bodily. Afterward he appeared to His followers and they touched Him, and He also ate food in their presence. He ascended into heaven bodily, and He will return bodily.
It's amazing enough that God came to Earth as a man, but also a man sits on the throne as God!

Answer 6

He parted from His body for 3 days, He preached to those in spirit prison and "returned" to His body...He can do that because He has God for a Father... He also made it possible for us all to be resurrected and eternally united spirit and body. That is one gift all mankind will receive from coming to this earth, being eternally one as spirit and body...

Answer 7

"And Jehovah God proceeded to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man came to be a living soul." - Genesis 2:7
A man is a soul.
"The soul that is sinning—it itself will die." - Ezekiel 18:4
We're not immortal. There's nothing in us that survives after death.
"In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.” - Genesis 3:19
What was Adam before he was created? Dust. Where did he go after he died? To dust.
Where was Adam before he existed? Nowhere. Where did he go after he ceased to exist? Nowhere. He just decomposed.

Answer 8

Christianophobia

A number of words have appeared with the suffix -phobia, in which "phobia" is understood as a negative attitude towards certain categories of people or other things, used in an analogy with the medical usage of the term. Usually these kinds of "phobia" are is described as fear, dislike, disapproval, prejudice, hatred, discrimination, or hostility towards the object of the "phobia". Often this attitude is based on prejudices and is a particular case of general xenophobia.

A fear or hatred is not always considered a phobia in the clinical sense because it is believed to be only a symptom of other psychological problems, or the result of ignorance, or of political or social beliefs. In other words, unlike clinical phobias, which are usually qualified with the word "irrational", phobias of attitude usually have roots in social relations.
