plethra Posted April 7, 2007 Report Share Posted April 7, 2007 Q4. What will our resurrection bodies be like? Why do you think we will be given resurrection bodies? What is the point? Our resurrected bodies will be like Christ's resurrected body was. He was flesh and bone, able to eat, to touch, to come and go supernaturally at will. Walked through locked doors. He was able to reveal or conceal Himself at will. I think we will have resurrection bodies so that we will not be bound and limited to the physical world. We will be busy doing God's work, ruling the nations, and we will need resurrection bodies, glorified bodies, to do that. Sometimes we need glorified bodies now! Besides this glorified body will have to last for eternilty! Thats a long time. resurrection bodies will be a must! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tabatha Posted April 8, 2007 Report Share Posted April 8, 2007 Q4. What will our resurrection bodies be like? Why do you think we will be given resurrection bodies? What is the point? We shall be like Jesus, like his Glorious Body, We will bear likeness to Him. The song of God's people praises Christ's work. He was slain, purchased them with His blood gathered them into a kingdom, made them priests, and appointed them to reign on the earth. Jesus has already died and paid the penalty for sin, He is now gathering us into His kingdom and making us priests, in the future we will reign with Him worship God and praise Him for what He has done, what He is doing, and what He will do for all who trust in Him, When we realize the glorious future that awaits us, The believers' song praises Christ for bringing them into the kingdom and making them Kings and priests. While now we are sometimes despised and mocked for our faith, in the future we will reign over all the earth. Christ's death made all believers priests of God -- the channels of blessings between God and mankind. We are being Prepared to rule and reign with Christ when He returns with us during that 1000 years when there is a new heaven and earth. Glory to God Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charisbarak Posted April 9, 2007 Report Share Posted April 9, 2007 Our bodies will be like the resurrected Christ's body. We are given that kind of body to be able to traverse heaven & earth & reign with Him. PTL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stan Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Q4. What will our resurrection bodies be like? Why do you think we will be given resurrection bodies? What is the point? Scripture states that we will be like Christ and that is what i will believe how will those bodies compare to the ones we now have I con't know but being like Christ will be enough for me, the pain and suffering gone, no longer submissive to daily sin and short comings how great those bodies will be. The point as I see it is to let us know that God formed us out of a handful of clay and He is capable of restoring our bodies and making them better than now. We will be like Christ and ever praising and worshiping the creater of us all The Father God our Redeemer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joshua Ofosu Anim Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Q4. What will our resurrection bodies be like? Why do you think we will be given resurrection bodies? What is the point? Our resurrected bodies will be like Christ's. Jesus' body after resurrection was just like what he was before his death. The difference was that the resurrected body was not limited to this physical world only. Our resurrected bodies will also not be limited to this physical world only because it will be glorified bodies (incorruptible). We need this resurrected body in order live in the new earth and heaven God will create. We also need this special glorified bodies to perofrm our tasks in the Kingdom of God.

lamountain Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Q4. What will our resurrection bodies be like? Why do you think we will be given resurrection bodies? What is the point? I think our bodies will not be unlike the ones we have now, the difference being we will be filled with the power of the Lord and the sins of the flesh will be gone.We will all be beautiful but different and we will all love each other as brothers and sisters in Christ. we will be filled with glory shining in the light that is God. our earthly bodies as of now are given in to sin we are not worthy of any kind of holiness.we have to be transformed in one word into a new glorius body in able to be worthy of being in the prescence of Gods holy light.

PATJOE Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Q4. What will our resurrection bodies be like? Why do you think we will be given resurrection bodies? What is the point? We will be like God's angels, physically perfect and beautiful in a spiritual element. We must have our glorified bodies in order to live in God's presence. We cannot see His face until we are glorified with Him. That has been His plan from the beginning - why He sacrificed His only Son Jesus, for us, to be able to call us all home with Him. Jesus' death played the major role in our redemption bodies. He took our sins with Him, so that we could be glorified with the Father on the last day. He was resurrected so that we can totally believe and trust in this wonderful gift of grace that we could never earn or deserve on our own.

JustJeff Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 We do know that we will be like Him when we are resurrected. What we do know is that the Lord had the ability to change His appearance, eat food, appear supernaturally, walk about with a deadly wound in His side and holes from nails in His hands and feet, with no pain. He was flesh and bone and conversed normally yet, at His ascension, His body rose into the air and disappeared. To this end we will be like Him that we know. What we do not know is what it is to be a supernatural being, a spirtual being as is God and the angels. What does it feel like? How does one feel, emotionally, physically? How does the thought process differ? How truly precious is it to be in constant and continual fellowship with the Lord? To be always in His presence? God made Adam in His own image, as we. It is in a body that God communed with Adam, as His friend. It would seem that the Father desires this appearence of us and that is good enough for me. In that vain, as Adam walked in the Garden of Eden, so too will we walk in the new earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
June Posted April 11, 2007 Report Share Posted April 11, 2007 Changed to be like Jesus'. Spiritual bodies that no longer are mortal, no physical beauty implications or gender relation. We will be like the angels and will no longer die. There will be no big " I's" in heaven. We will all be doing God's work. We will all be equal righteous angels and priests. To go from earth to heaven and back again doing the work of Christ. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Rupert Posted April 12, 2007 Report Share Posted April 12, 2007 Q4. What will our resurrection bodies be like? Why do you think we will be given resurrection bodies? What is the point? Our resurrected bodies will be like our Savior's glorious body bearing the likeness of the man from heaven, the son of God. Our bodies will be flesh and bones, we will be able to eat and drink, walk and talk, we will be recognizable when we want to be, we will be able to relate to the physical world and the spiritual world. We will be able to appear and disappear, and we will be of good health and spirit and full of beauty. These new bodies will be given to us so that we can live in the new world. Our old bodies were full of sin and weak and full of sickness and disease, this will not occur with our new bodies. Praise the Lord! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sis. dee Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Q4. What will our resurrection bodies be like? Why do you think we will be given resurrection bodies? What is the point?

revmrf Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Q4. What will our resurrection bodies be like? Why do you think we will be given resurrection bodies? What is the point? I believe that our resurrection bodies will be virtually the same in attributes as Jesus' was, with the same non-limitational qualities that he had. The good question is: Because Jesus' body had scars and wounds, will ours have similar recognizable attributes? Ralph answers that Jesus' body was a special case for recognition purposes, implying that it won't be for us. Of that, I'm not so sure.... The point? Maybe living in this new dimension requires a 'new dimension body.' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linda bass Posted April 13, 2007 Report Share Posted April 13, 2007 Our resurrection bodies will be just like Jesus'. "The Lord Jesus, who by the power that enables Him to bring everything under His control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like His glorious body."-Phil 3:21 Our new bodies will be incorruptible, able to navigate both the physical and spiritual realms. We will have bodies because that is what God has desired for mankind since the beginning of creation. Man was form from the dust of the earth and God breathed the breath of life into him. I believe it was God's will for man to live on earth forever, but the entrance of sin into the Garden of Eden changed all that. The new earth and new heaven goes back to God's original plan. We will need our glorifyed bodies in order to go back and forth between the new heaven and new earth. Awhile back I read the book "Heaven" by Randy Alcorn which was about what the new earth may be like. Then not longer after, my pastor did a series on heaven which included the new earth. Lately, I can't stop thinking about what living on the new earth will be like. As a conservationist, the thought of spending eternity on the new earth appeals to more far more than eternity in heaven. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
masika Posted April 14, 2007 Report Share Posted April 14, 2007 We will have glorified bodies during the resurrection day.

Jewell Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 Our resurrection bodies will be like Jesus' resurrection body - flesh and bones, able to eat, be touched, walk, talk, be recognized, enter locked doors, disappear and appear at will, incorruptible, glorified, powerful, and able to navigate in the spiritual realm - for the new heaven and new earth.

Ann K Posted April 15, 2007 Report Share Posted April 15, 2007 We know not what our resurrected bodies will be like. To go to Heaven we have to have some change ~~ as our mortal body will not work or function there. There has to be resurrection of our bodies to give us faith and belief that life continues after our death on earth. From dying must come rebirth in some other form.

sahala p.s. Posted April 18, 2007 Report Share Posted April 18, 2007 Q4. What will our resurrection bodies be like? Why do you think we will be given resurrection bodies? What is the point? Our resurrection body will be like Jesus' resurrection body. It will be able to relate to the physical world like a normal physical body. But it will be not limited to the physical world. It will be able to enter locked doors, disappear and appear at will. It will be incorruptible, glorified, powerful, and able to navigate in the spiritual realm. It will be no longer mortal. We will be given resurrection bodies, because that is God's plan to give us the victory over death. But God' plan to in our resurrection body is not only that. He may give us some role in the new heaven and the new earth that he will create. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commissioned Posted May 4, 2007 Report Share Posted May 4, 2007 Q4. What will our resurrection bodies be like? Our resurrection bodies will be like the resurrected Jesus' body. The following verses supports this: "Dear friends, now we are children of God, and what we will be has not yet been made known. But we know that when he appears, we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is." (1 John 3:2) "[The Lord Jesus], who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body." (Philippians 3:21) "And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven." (1 Corinthians 15:49) Why do you think we will be given resurrection bodies? What is the point? We will be given resurrection bodies probably to be able to live on the "new earth" and to navigate between heaven and earth. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dar Posted May 21, 2007 Report Share Posted May 21, 2007 Q4. What will our resurrection bodies be like? They will be a real body, redeemed, made new, a spiritual body. The body was sown a natural body but raised a spiritual body, we will bear the likeness of Christ. Phil.3:20-21--JESUS WILL TRANSFORM OUR BODIES SO THEY WILL BE LIKE HIS BODY. We know when He appears we will be like Him. 1John 3:2 Why do you think we will be given resurrection bodies? What is the point? Blood and flesh cannot inherit the kingdom of God, does the perishable inherit the imperishable, we will be changed, we must be changed! We must be clothed with the imperishable and the mortal with immortality, that is when "Death has been swallowed up in victory." (1Cor. 15:49-55) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don W Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Our resurrected bodies will be just as Jesus’ resurrected body in heavenly glory, that is, they will be perfect, sinless, and spiritual as well as physical bodies. I believe that we will be given our new and everlasting resurrection bodies because we cannot face a thrice holy God in His sinless perfection and as Almighty God without them; in other words, we cannot face our God in our natural mortal bodies, but only in our resurrected and perfect bodies just as Christ Jesus, our Lord and Redeemer, has now in heavenly glory. The point is that we are now growing every day closer and closer to Jesus as our Lord and Savior, but then one day (hopefully soon) we will be given our new resurrection bodies that are as His, and we will be present with Him forever and ever throughout eternity!!!!! Amen! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mephibesheth Posted May 1, 2008 Report Share Posted May 1, 2008 Q4. What will our resurrection bodies be like? Why do you think we will be given resurrection bodies? What is the point? Our resurrection bodies will be 1) immortal, honorable, powerful, and spiritual; 2) similar to Christ's glorified body in as much as we will be able to see Him for who he really is; and 3) will vary from person to person in sufficient degree of glory to identify each body as unique to the person for whom it was given. (See 1 Cor 15 and 1Jn) The reason we will be given bodies is so that we will be able to RELATE to one another and our Father. The kingdom of Heaven is first and foremost about relationship!
