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?

Re: Does the true God have a body of flesh and bone?
Post #51No. Jesus said that the world would see him no more.(John 14:19) People would "see" him with the eyes of faith; they would understand what will be happening. Jesus indicated that at Matthew 16:9 (see also Matthew 13:14,15). "See" would mean understand. Jesus will return spiritually, invisibly, like when the clouds took him up from the disciples' sight when he left (Acts 1:9). But we will know that he's here. (It would be interesting if he showed up visibly riding a white horse! But I don't think that would happen, in view of the things he said about the world seeing him no more.)Capbook wrote: ↑Wed Jun 05, 2024 2:54 amWhen Jesus comes the second time with angels, do you mean for all to see them they will be in physical body?onewithhim wrote: ↑Tue Jun 04, 2024 12:41 pmYou may remember that the clouds took him out of the disciples' sight.

The question of this thread is,"So do we all including Christ have an immortal body of flesh and bone after our resurrection?"
I would believe Jesus is, as the verse says the same Jesus.
Acts 1:11 "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven."(NIV)

Post #52It seems that your interpretation contradict this verse, In Jesus coming every eye will see Him, even those who pierced Him. And "see" defined by lexicon as to be seen, to be visible, within the range of sight.onewithhim wrote: ↑Thu Jun 06, 2024 5:58 pmNo. Jesus said that the world would see him no more.(John 14:19) People would "see" him with the eyes of faith; they would understand what will be happening.

Post #54To "see" also can mean "to understand." I'm surprised your source doesn't say that, because Jesus spoke about "seeing" as understanding.

"And toward them the prophecy of Isaiah is having fulfilment, which says, 'By hearing, you will hear but by no means get the sense of it; and, looking, you will look but by no means see.' For the heart of this people has grown unreceptive, and with their ears they have heard without response, and they have shut their eyes that they might never see with their eyes and hear with their ears and get the sense of it...'"
Obviously he wasn't talking about their literal ears and eyes. He was clearly speaking about their willingness to understand, so they might "turn back" and get healed.
So when Jesus said that all eyes would "see" him he meant everyone will understand the truth about him.

Would you visit your lexicon and see the meaning of the word "see" in that verse.
Strong does not define it as "understand"
KJV - appear, look, see, shewself.

NT:1574 Rev 1:7 relates the same OT verse to the expected return of Christ. Those who crucified him, both Jews and Gentiles, will see him when he comes and will be stricken by tardy remorse and fear of judgment.
