The resurrection of the body

[whatsit]

Hi; I'm doing some research for a discussion here at home. Thanks for your help! :)

I see a real bodily resurrection being clearly taught in scripture. After all, Christ went to great length to show His body was real after His resurrection. Also, note how we will be eating in heaven. Spirits would not need to do that.

Jesus Christ rose from the dead, literally. His pierced flesh came back to life. One cannot be a Christian without accepting that statement. The Bible, further, appears to clearly state that our ressurrection will be in the same way as His, therefore, yes, there will be a ressurrection of the dead. "Though worms eat my body, in my flesh, I will see God."

Yes, I believe in literal Bodily Resurrection since Holy Scriptures, The God-Bearing Fathers, The First Holy Ecumenical Council [i.e., The Nicene Creed], the 7th Holy Ecumenical Council, and thus the teaching of the Church for the past 2,000 years has always proclaim the truth of the Bodily Resurrection of all humans.

"But now is Christ risen from the dead, [and] become the firstfruits of them that slept" (1 Cor 15:20).

Lord Jesus Christ, Son of God, have mercy on me, a sinner.

In I.C.XC,

yeah, I believe in bodily resurrection.. Jesus was still physical after resurrection. Thomas put his finger onto Jesus hand to feel his hole in his hand, and did!

But Jesus' appearance had changed. He was not immediately recognisable to His followers and others.

The same thing is for us, where we are given a new, perfect body in heaven, the perfect expression of us being without sin. Babies that died before knowing the diff between right and wrong are in heaven.. but in fully perfect form.. not babies, but fully matured perfect beings in heaven, living with God.

What I don't believe in, is people praying for others, who get raised from the dead.. this was something reserved for Jesus and His apostles, in there time to complete the revealed Word of God. For a very specific purpose.
