Does the true God have a body of flesh and bone?
According to scripture God and all of us including Christ have a spirit body.
According to the scriptures all of us including Jesus Christ are the literal spirit children of God the father.
According to the New Testament Christs body was crucified and killed. His spirit body however was never dead, for between the death of his physical body his spirit body went unto the spirits in prison and preached repentance unto those who had previously died. This was done before his glorious resurrection.
So do we all including Christ have an immortal body of flesh and bone after our resurrection?
Does the true God have a body of flesh and bone?

Yes I did. Your question was "How do you think you will go through eternity? With some kind of body or no body?" and I wrote (as an answer) "Eternity is not something one goes through. Bodies are."You didn't answer my question.

Your question "How do you think you will go through eternity?" implies a beginning and an ending, which is why I answered "Eternity is not something one goes through."

Post #34Dear Onewithhim,
You testify that the resurrected Lord and Savior Jesus Christ does not have a body of "Flesh and Bone".
It would appear that according to the scriptures that you are blasphemly calling Christ a damned liar. The testimony of Christ in this matter clearly states otherwise:
When Christ appeared to his apostles after his resurrection, that they, at first thought the they had seen him as a spirit. Christ in his masterful way taught them other wise:
"Luke 24:36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
37
But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
38
And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
39
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.
40
And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
41
And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any meat?
42
And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
43
And he took it, and did eat before them.
44
And he said unto them, These are the words which I spake unto you, while I was yet with you, that all things must be fulfilled, which were written in the law of Moses, and in the prophets, and in the psalms, concerning me.
45
Then opened he their understanding, that they might understand the scriptures,
You are entitled to your JW private interpretation of the Bible, but as for me and our house we will take the clear testimony of Jesus Christ on this issue more than a trillion to one over your "private interpretation testimony"

Post #35Yeshua said in advance, that if anyone says they saw me in an "inner room" (Luke), or in a wilderness (Paul) do not believe them. (Mt 24:26). Apparently you believe some guy named Luke.Revelations won wrote: ↑Sun Apr 07, 2024 8:27 am Dear Onewithhim,

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
The same was in the beginning with God. And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
Then what did God become when He was made flesh?

Post #37To all JW’s and others,
Can you please simply answer my OP question? Does the resurrected
Christ have a body of Flesh and Bone?
If you claim that he does not have a body of “Flesh and Bone” , do
you have the testimony of Jesus to prove otherwise?

Yes. the resurrected Jesus Christ have a body and bone.
Two men in white apparel (I believe angels) but one says "same Jesus".
Acts 1:11 says,
who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."(NKJV)

God is a spirit and so is Jesus his Son.1 CORINTHIANS 15:50
... flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God
May I let you understand what Clark and Calvin explains it;
In the aspect of man, we must be renewed as we are corrupt, weak and wicked to get to heaven.
In the aspect of Jesus, does Jesus need to be renewed? Can you answer this?
The Bible say the same Jesus go to the heaven and come back.
1 Corinthians 15:50 says;
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
[Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom] This is a Hebrew periphrasis for man, and man in his present state of infirmity and decay. Man, in his present state, cannot inherit the kingdom of God; his nature is not suited to that place; he could not, in his present weak state, endure an exceeding great and eternal weight of glory. Therefore, it is necessary that he should die, or be changed; that he should'have a celestial body suited to the celestial state. The apostle is certainly not speaking of flesh and blood in a moral sense, to signify corruption of mind and heart; but in a nalttral sense; as such, flesh and blood cannot inherit glory, for the reasons already assigned:
(from Adam Clarke's Commentary)
1 Corinthians 15:50
50. Now this I say. This clause intimates, that what follows is explanatory of the foregoing statement.
"What I have said as to bearing the image of the heavenly Adam means this — that we must be renewed in
respect of our bodies, inasmuch as our bodies, being liable to corruption, cannot inherit God's incorruptible
kingdom. Hence there will be no admission for us into the kingdom of Christ, otherwise than by Christ's
renewing us after his own image." Flesh and blood, however, we must understand, according to the condition
in which they at present are, for our flesh will be a participant in the glory of God, but it will be — as renewed
and quickened by the Spirit of Christ.
(from Calvin's Commentaries)
