If not, does this mean that all humans have never risen because their bones are still here?

I don't like to bring my old bones to heaven. Would you?

If He were dead and His spirit rose, then yes, His bones would have been left behind...But, He rose from the grave and when He ascended to heaven, He was very much alive. Witnesses testified that He rose before their very eyes into the clouds. They also testified that angels stood beside them telling them that Jesus would come back the same way He left. You can read about this starting in John 28: 50...

There's also the story of Elijah...You can read about him in: 2 Kings 2 ...Hint, you won't find his bones either, he was taken to heaven while still alive...

When Jesus returns, the dead will rise...

Christ's real body was taken up into heaven in what is called the Ascension. That means his bones too.
Souls in Heaven will not be joined to their bodies until Judgment day. The two exceptions are Jesus and the Virgin Mary. Mary was Assumed into heaven.

The Tomb Was Found Empty
The empty tomb gave the disciples their first proof of Jesus' resurrection, and this evidence remains undisputed. Jesus was buried in a new tomb, one that had never been used. It was near the place of impalement and back then could unmistakably be located very easily. (John 19:41, 42) All the Gospel accounts agree that when Jesus' friends arrived at the tomb on the second morning after his death, his body was gone.—Matthew 28:1-7; Mark 16:1-7; Luke 24:1-3; John 20:1-10.

The empty tomb was astonishing to Jesus' enemies, just as it was to his friends. His foes had long been working to see him dead and buried. Having accomplished their goal, they took pains to post a guard and seal the tomb. Nevertheless, on the morning of the first day of the week, it was empty.


Did Jesus' friends take his body from the tomb? Not likely, since the Gospels show that they were greatly distressed after his execution. Furthermore, his disciples would hardly have gone on to suffer persecution and death for something they knew to be fraudulent.

Who emptied the tomb? Jesus' enemies would have been the least likely to have taken the body. Even if they had, they would certainly have produced it later so as to refute the disciples' claims that Jesus had been resurrected and was alive. But nothing of that sort ever happened, for it was God who had taken action.

Weeks later, Jesus' enemies did not rise up with an overwhelming rebuttal when Peter testified: "Men of Israel, hear these words: Jesus the Nazarene, a man publicly shown by God to you through powerful works and portents and signs that God did through him in your midst, just as you yourselves know, this man, as one delivered up by the determined counsel and foreknowledge of God, you fastened to a stake by the hand of lawless men and did away with. But God resurrected him by loosing the pangs of death, because it was not possible for him to continue to be held fast by it. For David says respecting him, 'I had Jehovah constantly before my eyes . . . Moreover, even my flesh will reside in hope; because you will not leave my soul in Hades, neither will you allow your loyal one to see corruption.'"—Acts 2:22-27.

** it-2 pp. 789-790 Resurrection ***

The Scriptures, both the Hebrew and the Greek, therefore show that it was the “soul” of Jesus Christ that was resurrected. Jesus Christ was ‘put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit.’ (1Pe 3:18) “Flesh and blood cannot inherit God’s kingdom,” said the apostle Paul. (1Co 15:50) This would also exclude flesh and bones. Flesh and bones do not have life unless they have blood, for the blood contains the “soul” or is that which is necessary for the life of the creature of flesh.—Ge 9:4.

Christ body was changed to a Glorified and was risen physically, He demonstrated that when He showed Thomas His nail scared hands, and had Thomas place his finders in the wound in His side, and He also ate food with them. This demonstrates what is to take place when we are resurrected
We to will have a Glorified body.

Jesus rose, body and all into heaven. When he was resureccted he was flesh not a spirit. There is nothing in the Bible that says that we need to take our bones with us.

I've also heard that you go to heaven naked because clothes can't be transmogrified. So...the bones and clothes stay here and the rest goes up?? Bizarre.

God raised Jesus up to heaven. He was not buried, therefore, you will find no bones of him.

We are buried so you will find bones. When Jesus comes again our spirits will go with him, not our bodies.

Jesus's bones are not hear and we will rise on the last day not before Jesus reterns.
