Q: Does Jesus have a physical body in heaven? Do we need a physical body in heaven?
A:
Q: Why is Jesus' resurrected body still have scars or wounds on it?
A: When Christ rose from the dead, His body was the same one that had been cast down in death. Yet it manifests qualities not currently enjoyed by our bodies. It was truly Christ’s same body, with its bones and muscles, but it was also a glorified body, wholly reflective of and subservient to the glory and faculties of His soul. He could appear and disappear at will, be somewhere at one moment and then elsewhere the next, and so forth.
1 Corinthians 15:49 Amplified Bible (AMP)
Just as we have borne the image of the earthly [the man of dust], we will also bear the image of the heavenly [the Man of heaven].
Q: If our burial is cremation, how to have a resurrected body like Christ? Even with burial, they body will still decay or decompose over time, left with skeleton, unless, we mummify it like the Egyptian.
A: One explanation is, in Genesis, God made man using dust, dust belongs to earth, so we don't bring things that belongs to the earth to heaven. Whereas Christ physical body was formed not out of dust or human intercourse, it was conceived by the Spirit. Hence, this physical body is more than the physical things we see on earth. Hence, when Jesus was resurrected, His physical body was resurrected. He even show the wounds of His physical body when He showed evidence of His resurrection.
Q: Does your new, glorified body in heaven have blood stream?
A: two verses:
In 1 Corinthians 15:50, St. Paul says that “I tell you this, brethren: flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.” Taken literally, this passage poses serious problems to any orthodox Christians. Which leads to…
In Luke 24:39, after the Resurrection, Jesus appears to the Apostles for the first time, and says, “See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself; handle me, and see; for a spirit has not flesh and bones as you see that I have.”
Conclusion: The new and glorified body can be seen, but it doesn't have a blood stream. Where places that have sin like earth, it requires blood as a form of forgiveness. However, in heaven, there is no sin, hence, there is no need of blood. Blood is the media that carries all kinds of sickness, where there is no blood, there is no sickness.
Q: Does God has physical shape and blood stream
Q: Is our physical body being clothe in heaven? Are people naked in heaven?
A: Yes, Jesus appeared to His disciples was dressed. Angels appeared to people was dressed. God always appeared dressed in a form of white robe. Jesus too. But we can also said that is when they come to earth, a place that has not been fully redeemed, evil still existed on earth, the people on earth still look at nakedness with eyes of evil. In heaven, all dressed in white robe.
Before sin entered humanity, Adam and Eve were described as being naked, having no shame (Genesis 2:25). Following their sin, Genesis 3:7 shares, "Then the eyes of both were opened, and they knew that they were naked. And they sewed fig leaves together and made themselves loincloths." Because sin will not exist in heaven, some have wondered if people will be naked in heaven. What does the Bible say?
Those described in the Bible as being in heaven are clothed. For example, Revelation 4:4 notes the 24 elders at the throne of God wearing white clothing. The martyrs in heaven in Revelation 6:11 are given clothing in heaven: "Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer." The great multitude from every nation who will worship Jesus in heaven are described as clothed: "a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands" (Revelation 7:9).
Those in the new heaven, new earth, and new heavenly city at the end of time with the Lord are described as clothed: "Blessed are those who wash their robes, so that they may have the right to the tree of life and that they may enter the city by the gates" (Revelation 22:14).
Believers in Revelation 3:5 are described as wearing clothing in heaven: "The one who conquers will be clothed thus in white garments, and I will never blot his name out of the book of life."
Q: Christian died at different ages, what age of body are we given in heaven? Will there be a range of age appearances? Will we appear the age in which we died (like Jesus, apparently) — or younger or older? Or will everyone appear to be 25 years old, in the prime of life?
Q: Do we have the same earthly name, lives, look in heaven?
A: The story of Lazarus and the rich man (Luke 16:19–31) is further proof that the dead remember their earthly lives. The rich man in hell asks Abraham to send Lazarus back to earth to warn the rich man’s brothers of the fate awaiting the unrighteous (verses 27–28). The rich man obviously remembers his relatives. He also remembers his own life of self-serving and sinful comfort (verse 25). The memories of the rich man in hell become part of his misery. The story does not mention whether or not Lazarus has memories, but Abraham has definite knowledge of goings-on on earth (verse 25). It’s not until we reach the eternal state that the righteous will leave all sorrow behind.
Luke 16:19-31
The Rich Man and Lazarus
19 “There was a rich man who was clothed in epurple and fine linen and fwho feasted sumptuously every day. 20 And at his gate gwas laid a poor man named Lazarus, covered with sores, 21 who desired to be fed with hwhat fell from the rich man’s table. Moreover, even the dogs came and licked his sores. 22 The poor man died and was carried by ithe angels jto Abraham’s side.6 The rich man also died and was buried, 23 and in kHades, being in torment, he lifted up his eyes and lsaw Abraham far off and Lazarus jat his side. 24 And he called out, m‘Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus to dip the end of his finger in water and ncool my tongue, for oI am in anguish in this flame.’ 25 But Abraham said, ‘Child, remember that pyou in your lifetime received your good things, and Lazarus in like manner bad things; but now he is comforted here, and you are in anguish. 26 And besides all this, between us and you a great chasm has been fixed, in order that those who would pass from here to you may not be able, and none may cross from there to us.’ 27 And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, to send him to my father’s house— 28 for I have five brothers—so that he may warn them, lest they also come into this place of torment.’ 29 But Abraham said, ‘They have qMoses and the Prophets; rlet them hear them.’ 30 And he said, ‘No, sfather Abraham, but if someone goes to them from the dead, they will repent.’ 31 He said to him, ‘If they do not hear qMoses and the Prophets, tneither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.’
Q: Do we have the same relationship with people in heaven as on earth? Will we know one another in heaven? What kind of relationships will we have in heaven
Not many details about recognition and relationships in heaven are given in Scripture. There are, however, several inferences which show that we will recognize one another in heaven and that we will remember our former relationships.
The rich man recognized Lazarus in “Abraham’s bosom,” even though he was in a different place and separated by a great gulf ( Luke 16:19-31 ). In addition, the disciples recognized Moses and Elijah at the transfiguration, even though these two men had lived many centuries before ( Matthew 17:1-5 ).
Matt 22:23-28 (also: Mark 12:18–27; Luke 20:27–40)
23The same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to Him and asked Him, 24 saying: “Teacher, Moses said that if a man dies, having no children, his brother shall marry his wife and raise up offspring for his brother. 25 Now there were with us seven brothers. The first died after he had married, and having no offspring, left his wife to his brother. 26 Likewise the second also, and the third, even to the seventh. 27 Last of all the woman died also. 28 Therefore, in the resurrection, whose wife of the seven will she be? For they all had her.” 29 Jesus answered and said to them, “You are mistaken, not knowing the Scriptures nor the power of God. 30 For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels of God in heaven. 31 But concerning the resurrection of the dead, have you not read what was spoken to you by God, saying, 32 ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? God is not the God of the dead, but of the living.” 33 And when the multitudes heard this, they were astonished at His teaching.
Conclusion: In heaven, we recognized one another by face and name, but we do not have the same relationship as we have on earth.
