The Bodies of the Resurrected

He appeared as flesh and bone after His resurrection to His apostles, before He ascended in Acts 1.
Before He ascended he could appear and disappear.
He could do such things before He was crucified, such as move among crowds unimpeded, walk on water, be transfigured...
Flesh and bone he took on as a proof of His resurrection.

Apostle John says we will be like Him, when we get a glorified body, but we don't fully know what it will be like.
And it will be a spiritual body, not flesh and blood. Flesh and blood can not inherit the kingdom of God, so then spiritual, more like an angel's body.
You can read what angels do, so it will be like theirs, and also like Christ's glorified body.

1 Corinthians 15:35
[ A Glorious Body ] But someone will say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?”
And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain—perhaps wheat or some other grain.
1 Corinthians 15:38
But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body.
1 Corinthians 15:42
So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption.

1 Corinthians 15:44
It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

1 John 3:1-3New King James Version (NKJV)
3 Behold what manner of love the Father has bestowed on us, that we should be called children of God! Therefore the world does not know us, because it did not know Him. 2 Beloved, now we are children of God; and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be, but we know that when He is revealed, we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is. 3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purifies himself, just as He is pure.

Do you know what your body will be like when you are changed? Does the bible give us any insight to this? If we are to be like Christ is in His resurrection what is He like now? What was He like when He was resurrected?
The bible says that He was flesh and bone! Do you believe that? Are we going to be "flesh and bone"? Will we eat and drink? What will we do?

John wrote that when we see Him we will be like Him.... so what was He like once He rose? Physical and able to eat yet also able to walk through a wall?

1 Corinthians 15:35-58
But someone will say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?” Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain—perhaps wheat or some other grain. But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body. All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man.

Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.”

“O Death, where is your sting? O Hades, where is your victory?”

The sting of death is sin, and the strength of sin is the law. But thanks be to God, who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore, my beloved brethren, be steadfast, immovable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, knowing that your labor is not in vain in the Lord.

1 Corinthians 15:35-58 (NKJV)

yes, will not be the same body of flesh and blood.
It will be a spiritual body that is raised at the resurrection.
It will be a glorified spiritual body like Christ has now.
And angels could appear physically take form as can Christ.
Christ is the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep and risen from the dead.
Christ was the first one, we will follow that path He has taken.

1 Corinthians 15:20
[ The Last Enemy Destroyed ] But now Christ is risen from the dead, and has become the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.
1 Corinthians 15:23
But each one in his own order: Christ the firstfruits, afterward those who are Christ’s at His coming.

1 Corinthians 15:44
It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

1 Corinthians 15:45
And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

1 Corinthians 15:46
However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual.

1 Corinthians 15:47
The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven.

the closest way I think we could describe it would be vivid dreams.

it's like an upgraded version of reality that has better rules and some rules that are no longer needed are gone. it's basically more spirit/mind based. it still has sensations and there are still objects but the environment and our bodies reflects whatever minds/hearts conditions they are like and what they happen to be focused on atm with the chief mind behind it all being God even though we play a part.

our universe is like that too even though most don't notice that it is a kind of symbolic reality (creation is the word of God and all things describe parts of Gods kingdom or point out spiritual truths or different conditions of the soul). but heaven will be a much more intensified one than we are used to. hell is kind of like that too except evil and really dull compared to heaven even if it would not appear to be so dull if you only existed in hell and never saw an angel or heaven.

It would be nice if we didn't have to poop anymore

I think Manna will be our food.
Psalms 78
24He rained down manna upon them to eat And gave them food from heaven. 25Man did eat the bread of angels; He sent them food in abundance.

Flesh and bone? No.

Jesus was resurrected in his earthy body, and men could see Him.
Jesus was witnessed ascending into the clouds.

Bodies of men shall be raised out of their tombs.
Their bodies shall rise incorruptible and ascend into the clouds, to meet Jesus.

1 Cor 15

[35] 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:
[37] And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:
[38] But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
[39] All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.
[40] There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
[41] There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.
[42] So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
[43] It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
[44] It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
[45] And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
[46] Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
[47] The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
[48] As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
[49] And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
[50] Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
[51] Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
[52] In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
[53] For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
[54] So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

Rev.2

1. [7] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the midst of the paradise of God.

Rev.22

1. [2] In the midst of the street of it, and on either side of the river, was there the tree of life, which bare twelve manner of fruits, and yielded her fruit every month: and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.

I believe this:

For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are like God's angels in heaven.
Matt. 22:30

Different question is, what angels really are? On basis of the Bible they seem to be spiritual beings that can have also material body.

Perhaps "restroom" will have a new meaning; like bedroom or recliner.
