If it was Jesus' soul then where has his human body gone ?

If it was Jesus' human body then how he did go back to heaven. As I understand that the heaven is place for the soul not for human body.

To those who said it was spiritual body;

Where is the Jesus' human body ? You remember that his body was missing from the tomb.

Well, according to the bible, especially in the gospel of John, Jesus' human body ascended to heaven. And also in Christian especially in Roman Catholic teachings, it is believed the Jesus' human body and Mary's (Mother of God) body were the only physical bodies that ascended to heaven. (As we were taught by Catholic priests and in Catholic schools).

You arguments are right. And this poses another contradiction to the writings in the Bible. If you're finding rational answers to your questions, the Bible is definitely not the book you should refer to.

This question should be asked repeatedly on Yahoo, because it represents the crux upon which all Christianity hinges: There is no other religion on the face of the earth which is built on an empty tomb. Atheists and scientists, with all the knowledge of mankind and Satan cheering them on, cannot produce the body of Jesus or prove the tomb wasn't empty on the 3rd day.
To answer your question directly, yes, his human body was raised into heaven. This is well attested to in scripture.

Very great and learned men have concluded the same:
http://www.av1611.org/resur.html
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brooke_Foss_Westcott
http://www.issuesetc.org/resource/archives/maier3.htm

The fifteenth edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica uses 20,000 words to describe this person, Jesus. His description took more space than was given to Aristotle, Cicero, Alexander, Julius Caesar, Buddha, Confucious, Mohammed or Napoleon Bonaparte.

Concerning the testimony of the many independent secular
accounts of Jesus of Nazareth, it records:

These independent accounts prove that in ancient times even the opponents of Christianity never doubted the historicity of Jesus, which was disputed for the first time and on inadequate grounds by several authors at the end of the 18th, and during the 19th, and at the beginning of th 20th centuries.

Since Jesus was the only individual who ever lived who was God and man (Emmanuel) whether or not he has/had a soul is of no theological consequence.

Jesus resurrected in His Spiritual body.

When we die we receive Spiritual bodies because flesh and blood cannot enter Heaven.


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.



EDIT....
Verse 44--- it was sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.

it's the same body.

Jesus (peace be upon him) was raised by God to the Heavens "Complete With body & sole",
And this was not at the least difficult for God , For Jesus(PBUH) God said "He is my word" , And God not let the Jews to Crucify HIS WORD ,

...They said, “We killed the Messiah Jesus, son of Mary, the messenger of God.” They did not kill him, nor did they crucify him, but the likeness of him was put on another man (and they killed that man)... (Quran, 4:157)

When YHVH created Adam, Adam became a living soul. You don't HAVE a soul, you ARE a soul. He was raised with a body. (His body didn't stay in the grave) but it was a GLORIFIED body. It was not the same as our flesh and blood. He could travel rapidly, and move through walls.

If Jesus' human body was not raised .....then the whole humanity would lose their only hope.....Jesus body's substance must have changed in a way that there would be no more decay ,no pain and no more death....

Both
One needs to be a body( resurrected and immortal) as well as soul/spirit( full of grace) to be a full and complete human.

Souls are immortal as spirits and do not need resurrection but purification,purgation and full conversion by,to and through grace.

Maybe he had a twin brother we didn't know about and yes only the spirit will rise to be seen as ghost like image who have to be told to move on into space and to stop haunting our houses in the night.

(1 CORINTHIANS 15:50) However, this I say, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit God’s kingdom, neither does corruption inherit incorruption.
