This thread is given as an opportunity to discuss your views of the NATURE Jesus' Post Cross, pre-ascension, resurrected Body.

Scripture gives several accounts of the fact that Jesus' resurrected Body could appear and disappear.

A question I'd like to pose to kick things off is this:
When Jesus would become invisible prior to the ascension, did Jesus' resurrected Body remain present on earth or did He merely, at that moment, become visible someplace besides earth?

Based on the scriptural accounts alone, prior to the ascension, did Jesus' physical body have to be "visible" on earth to be "present" on earth?

I look forward to hearing your thoughts and input.

First of all Scripture does not say Jesus was invisible.
Secondly Jesus Resurrected body still retained the marks from His Crucifixion in His side, hands and feet.
Third Jesus is the same yesterday, today and forever. he is Immutable.
Fourth Jesus human glorified body is immortal, incorruptible and flesh and bones for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have. ( See Luke 24:39) and Thomas placed his hand into Jesus side when confessing Jesus was His Lord and his God.( John 20:27-28.)
Fifth we also see that in Acts 8 after Philip baptized the Ethiopian Eunuch he disappeared in Acts 8 and appeared in another city. Yet Philip was not invisible and appeared and disappeared by the power of the Spirit.

Acts 8:38-40
Then both Philip and the eunuch went down into the water and Philip baptized him. 39 When they came up out of the water, the Spirit of the Lord suddenly took Philip away, and the eunuch did not see him again, but went on his way rejoicing. 40 Philip, however, appeared at Azotus and traveled about, preaching the gospel in all the towns until he reached Caesarea.

hope this helps !!!

Thanks for that... I'm wondering if you can elaborate on this:
"Fourth Jesus human glorified body is immortal, incorruptible and flesh and bones for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have. ( See Luke 24:39) and Thomas placed his hand into Jesus side when confessing Jesus was His Lord and his God.( John 20:27-28.)"

Where does scripture teach that the Post resurrection/pre ascension Flesh and Bone body of Jesus was His "Glorified Body"?

And if it was... and our resurrected bodies will be "like His", does that mean we too will retain any wounds we may have in our resurrected Bodies "like His" did?

Jesus was the firstfruits of those Resurrected from the dead. All those who are resurrected are glorified and immortal. See 1 Cor 15th chapter.

I understand all of that.

However I'm Not sure how that answers my questions?
