How is it the dead in Christ will rise first? The Bible speaks of our dead bodies being resurrected...?

Question

After Jesus was resurrected from the dead, He walked around in a glorified body and showed his disciples the nail piercing scars in his hands and feet.

So how are we to be resurrected that brings our spirit back into our body if say we were burned into ashes and scattered into space???

It doesn't seem fair to me or make sense. How is it we will resemble our earthly bodies? What if our earthly bodies are ghastly and horribly deformed? What marks or scars will we humans carry with us thru all eternity?

Why did Jesus rise from the dead in His present body with scars and all and does that include sex organs, heart, hormones, secretions, etc... what parts function and what parts don't?

Any scripture insight or information will be most helpful...thanks.

Answer 1

Once your soul departs your body (shell) it is useless and of course it doesn't make sense that if you are a pile of ashes or even if you rot in the ground you can be resurrected. The you is your soul not your body.

What people saw with Jesus was his etheric body which is a carbon copy of the earthly body. When we die we go into the spirit world. We aren't hanging around the cemetery. Energy cannot be destroyed.

Answer 2

The resurrection is different depending if a person has a resurrection to life in heaven or a resurrection to life on earth.

In a heavenly resurrection a person is a spirit creature, there is no physical body.

For an earthly resurrection a new body is made that resembles our old one.
The old body is gone , it doesn't get restored.
Because a new body is made it wont have any of the defects of the old one had , so resembling means remaking it in a way without the defects.

The Bible says that there is 'a great crowd which no man will be able to number' that will get an earthly reward.
Many of these will get new fleshly bodies in the resurrection , but the person inside , their thinking , emotional makeup etc , will be the same as the person that had previously died. (minus mental problems etc)

The Bible says that these people will be able to enjoy perfect health , not ever needing to die again , so obviously , any physical ailments or defects will be removed.
Our bodies will be in absolutely perfect running order , just thing needed to enjoy true peace and security forever.

We will be changed to our spiritual bodies.

1 Corinthians 15

The Resurrection Body

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. 41The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.

42So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; 43it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; 44it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.
If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being"[e]; the last Adam, a life-giving spirit. 46The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual. 47The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven. 48As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the man from heaven, so also are those who are of heaven. 49And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we[f] bear the likeness of the man from heaven.

50I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. 51Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed— 52in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. 53For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality. 54When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been swallowed up in victory."[g]
55"Where, O death, is your victory?
Where, O death, is your sting?"[h] 56The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57But thanks be to God! He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

58Therefore, my dear brothers, stand firm. Let nothing move you. Always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord, because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain.

Answer 4

We will have bodies very similar to that of Jesus at the resurrection. Those in Christ will be transformed by God's power to have glorified, holy bodies. With God's kingdom on earth and Jesus on the throne, the Devil and his minions are cast into the pit for 1,000 years. You will not look like a zombie or be gross or anything like that because disease, sickness, sin and Death are no more. You are thinking in mortal, fleshly terms. Think more in the spiritual, as a higher being, a superior lifeform.

Answer 5

Jesus was actually raised from the dead. As in, He was brought back to life.

We, on the other hand, won't be resurrected that way. Just our spirits will be.

But even if it was our body AND our soul that were resurrected, there's no reason God couldn't restore our body, no matter what condition it was in.

I'm sorry, I can't give you exact scripture to back this up, but I'm sure someone else could.

Answer 6

These are the ones specially chosen because of their obedience. The ones mentioned at;
(Revelation 20:4) And I saw thrones, and there were those who sat down on them, and power of judging was given them. Yes, I saw the souls of those executed with the ax for the witness they bore to Jesus and for speaking about God, and those who had worshiped neither the wild beast nor its image and who had not received the mark upon their forehead and upon their hand. And they came to life and ruled as kings with the Christ for a thousand years.

They have a specific job.

And these are the ONLY ones to have a heavenly future.

Everyone else remains asleep in death until resurrected. Rev. 20; 12,13

Answer 7

The Bible does not say that a person's dead body will be revived.

Jesus was resurrected in the same body he died in.1 Pet. 3:18 says: "Why, even Christ died once for all time concerning sins, a righteous [person] for unrighteous ones, that he might lead YOU to God, he being put to death in the flesh, but being made alive in the spirit."

Answer 8

Jesus was resurrected in a glorified body. The marks were purposefully left to prove that he was the same Jesus who was crucified. He did not likely have all his internal organs and such as they are unnecessary in heaven. God quickens the spirti into a new body - not the body itself. So your body can be completely destroyed and still resurrected.

Jhn 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, [they] are spirit, and [they] are life.

Answer 9

Yes,during the 2nd coming of Christ the dead in Christ or the saved believers before will rise up first and change their body into in corruptible one.

And after that He will met in the clouds the present saved believers and cannot experienced death.just automatically changed the body into corruptible because these body cannot enter imto the kingdom of God.(We called it Rapture.)

Answer 10

In this case it is speaking of getting a new, functional body with the memories intact.
