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.
You don't understand my answer to your question?I don't understand your response to my last post.
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."

Re: Does the true God have a body of flesh and bone?
Post #42Why would a person have to have a celestial body? We were originally created to have physical bodies and live on the earth forever. People who are raised from death will have physical bodies that are free from corruption and wickedness, because those things are the result of sin, and Jesus paid for our sins. The ones who are changed to spirit bodies are only the ones that will reign with Christ in heaven.Capbook wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 4:26 amJehovahsWitness wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 3:45 amHe may have had a body of flesh (and we can presume bone) when he was resurrected and rose up into the sky but he certainly did not enter heaven with it.
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.

Re: Does the true God have a body of flesh and bone?
Post #43The "point one enters" = "The Beginning". Within the scope of eternity - if a mind enters some kind of body, the mind begins to experience whatever that kind of body allows such to experience and a mind can exit said "kind of body" at a later moment and enter some other kind of body.onewithhim wrote: ↑Tue May 14, 2024 10:15 amGoing through something does not require that there is no beginning.

Even while said mind is in between body changes, it is still embodied within The Creator Mind so overall I would say that is how I think will go along with eternity - Within the infinite Creator Mind.
In light of that I can argue (therefore) I am (we are) always within The Creator Mind and thus always experiencing eternity, always have experienced eternity and always ever will do.
This means that I think the experience of being human is a sojourn where I have (as a mind) tried out said experience for a brief moment of time, within the eternal timelessness.

An immaterial nothing creating a material something is as logically sound as square circles and married bachelors.

I would believe Jesus is, as the verse says the same Jesus.
