I'm Only Human, Flesh And Blood I'm Made: Part 2

As we continue to discuss the truth of flesh and spirit, I remind you all that we don’t allow man’s wisdom to interpret scriptures rather than transforming its text logically. Again, comparing scriptures is the right way of interpreting/dividing the word of our Almighty God.
Now, concerning the “body” of Jesus from the tomb as many people had thought it was spiritual body and without blood. Some say his body of flesh and bones is another type of flesh unlike us men and it is incorruptible.
How many times do we need to read the epistle of Paul concerning this matter that he said there is only one kind of flesh of men.
Now, can you conclude here that the resurrected body of Jesus is another type of flesh as they saw him with “flesh and bones”?
If someone looks at him and says Jesus has spiritual body that can be seen, I could judge at this point that it is a mere logical interpretation and unbiblical. For the scripture clearly says about the type of human image – “is only one kind of flesh” which is only visible to everyone “the flesh and bones” and there is no such term in the scripture that someone has claimed to be “a spiritual flesh”.
Take note:
Flesh and blood is not a spirit
Flesh and bones is not a spirit
The same as:
Earthly thing is not heavenly thing
Visible thing is not heavenly thing
And take a look of these earthly and heavenly comparative views:

As we continue to discuss the truth of flesh and spirit, I remind you all that we don’t allow man’s wisdom to interpret scriptures rather than transforming its text logically. Again, comparing scriptures is the right way of interpreting/dividing the word of our Almighty God.
- 1 Corinthians 2:13 Which things also we speak, not in the words which man's wisdom teacheth, but which the Holy Ghost teacheth; comparing spiritual things with spiritual.
Now, concerning the “body” of Jesus from the tomb as many people had thought it was spiritual body and without blood. Some say his body of flesh and bones is another type of flesh unlike us men and it is incorruptible.
How many times do we need to read the epistle of Paul concerning this matter that he said there is only one kind of flesh of men.
- 1 Corinthians 15“All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men”
Now, can you conclude here that the resurrected body of Jesus is another type of flesh as they saw him with “flesh and bones”?
If someone looks at him and says Jesus has spiritual body that can be seen, I could judge at this point that it is a mere logical interpretation and unbiblical. For the scripture clearly says about the type of human image – “is only one kind of flesh” which is only visible to everyone “the flesh and bones” and there is no such term in the scripture that someone has claimed to be “a spiritual flesh”.
Take note:
Flesh and blood is not a spirit
Flesh and bones is not a spirit
The same as:
Earthly thing is not heavenly thing
Visible thing is not heavenly thing
And take a look of these earthly and heavenly comparative views:
NaturalTerrestrial bodies (earthly glory)
1. It is sown in corruption 2. It is sown in dishonour 3. it is sown in weakness 4. It is sown a natural bod There is a natural body 1. The first man is of the earth, earthy 2. The first man Adam was made a living soul 3. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy 4. as we have borne the image of the earthy |
SpiritualCelestial bodies (heavenly glory)
1. It is raised in incorruption 2. It is raised in glory 3. It is raised in power 4. It is raised a spiritual body There is a spiritual body 1. The second man is the Lord from heaven 2. The last Adam was made a quickening spirit 3. As is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. 4. We shall also bear the image of the heavenly. |
Since we are pagan generation it is possible for us to believe that there is such visible spiritual body as we can see in any movies like the one in titled “IMMORTAL”. Here we can find a body of spirit that is visible to anyone and a very powerful one over humans. But in the scriptures this thing is just a man made idea inherited from their traditions of paganism doctrine.
The passages above clearly viewed us the two types of bodies that can live in the earth and in the heaven and nothing more. Jesus said also concerning these two type of bodies, the “flesh” and “spirit”.
So the spiritual body/spirit – hath not flesh and bones. Thus Jesus at this time is not a spirit but the same body of flesh and bones like men as he said; “that it is I myself”. We will try to hear also this question from the first century audience of which Paul answered unto them the kind of body are the dead raised up after Jesus resurrected.
Clearly, it’s not a visible body that you can see but the body of spirit that quickened after death.
Therefore:
Earthly/Natural – is visible with flesh and blood/flesh and bones
Heavenly/Spiritual – is invisible with power
Thus there is no visible body of spirit we could find in the scriptures. There is no either a transformation of physical body into a new type of biological body which is without blood. Again, there is only one kind of flesh as it is written.

- Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have. Luke 24:39

- But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? 36 Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: 1Co 15:35
