If we read 1 Corintians 15:42-50 we see that flesh & blood cannot inherit God's Kingdom
Above:
The point about taking one scripture alone has been made. However if we read the whole passage of scripture leading up to verse 50 we see the same point.
Also compare it to other scriptures like 1 Peter 3:18 we see that Jesus gave up his earthly body & was raised as a spirit.
To get the ful picture of the truth of God's Word we cannot just blindly dismiss any scripture because it doesn't fit into what we believe
The truth is plain to see
Jesus is a spirit person in heaven not a person of flesh & blood

The REAL Jesus
There is "another Jesus" that is not the REAL Jesus of
the Bible (2 Cor. 11:4). Salvation can only take place
only through faith in the REAL Jesus. Faith in
"another Jesus" cannot save anyone. So how can you
tell if you have the REAL Jesus?
The Jesus of the Bible...
-- is prayed to - Acts 7:55-60; Psalm 116:4
and Zech. 13:9 with 1 Cor. 1:1-2
-- is worshiped - Matt. 2:2,11; 14:33; 28:9;
John 9:35-38; Heb. 1:6
-- is called God - John 20:28; Heb. 1:8; Isa.
9:6
-- is the ONLY way to God - John 14:6; Acts
4:12
-- did not come to bring peace, but a
sword - Matt. 10:34
-- tells us to fear God - Matt. 10:28
-- tells us that the world will hate us - John
15:18-19, 17:14
-- tells us Christians can expect to suffer -
Matt. 5:45; John 16:33; Heb. 11:35-38; 1 Pet.
4:12; 1 John 3:13
-- commands us share the gospel - Matt.
28:19-20; Mark 16:15; Acts 1:8

Yes, Jesus is still flesh and blood, Jesus (the word) became flesh and dwelt among us (John 1:14) Jesus will return just as He left (Acts 1:11) and Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
edit: Jason, with all due respect, shall we take a single text and establish truth? If so then what should we do when Paul says "I die daily"? Should we all kill ourselves based on a single text. In the book of Job, Job says "and though the worms destroy this body yet in my flesh shall I see God, with my own eyes and not another." Our instructions for establishing truth are clearly text upon text, precept upon precept, here a little there a little.
edit2: I would ask those who doubt that Jesus was resurrected with a body of flesh and blood to read the following text. It is His words to His disciples after His resurrection...
Luke 24:39 (King James Version)
Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

The scriptures plainly state, that 'flesh and blood' cannot inherit the Kingdom.
Jesus was a 'spirit creature' before he came to the earth and was born in human form, he went back to heaven...ascending as flesh, but was caught up in the clouds and became spirit once more to reside with Jehovah and the spirit creatures known as angels who have no physical bodies.

1 Cor 15:50 However, this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God’s kingdom
The answer is clear from the scripture.

No, the Bible says that flesh and blood can not inherit heaven.

Heaven is a spiritual reality. Spirit is non physical. In a spiritual reality there is no where for anything physical to exist.

I did for 68 years.
Now I'm having doubts. If God could make things happen any way he wants , then why are little kids getting abused and murdered and why are there wars where our young people are getting killed everyday. Kind of puts a damper on my belief in Jesus and God.

John 14:15:21.
This passage shows that Christ IS the Holy Spirit.
"I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. (verse 18)
Chist is a spirit.
