Where is the body of Jesus right now?

Where is the body of Jesus right now?

When Jesus rose from the dead, did he rise in human form? If so, is that human body still intact? Where is it?

If he didn't rise in human form, what happened to his skeletal remains?

I do believe in the literal, physical resurrection of the body (which was glorified) and His ascension into heaven.

(Wondering what kind of follow-up challenge THIS will elicit ... )

At the right hand of the Father.

Resurrection doesn't make sense apart from a physical, material undoing of death. The tomb is empty.

Where is it?

Jesus is at the right hand of the Father. That's the only answer you will be able to get for this question.

If he didn't rise in human form, what happened to his skeletal remains?

If there were skeletal remains then He didn't rise at all, but remained dead. If He did not rise, then His remains deteriorated and decayed; and Christianity is one tremendous farce to be rejected by everyone as worthless.

There is no meaning in Christianity apart from Jesus, the man, rising from the dead.

He is ascended and enthroned at the right hand of the father.

Yes. That's what resurrection is.

I wonder if you are coming from the misconception of "heaven" as a non-physical, bodiless, existence.

The "right hand" of the Father is a metaphor. lol

That said, I imagine it's probably attached to the rest of Him, in heaven, the spiritual realm, somewhere. I highly doubt He is just sitting there on a throne all day.

Of course it is. What other language could possibly say anything meaningful about "heaven"?

The point about enthronement is not being glued to a fancy chair.

in case it needs to be said, spiritual is not opposed to physical in historic Jewish and Christian thinking.

Yes Jesus rose in human form, and after spending 40 days on the Earth rose up into Heaven to reside with God. These events are explained in Luke 24:50-52 as well as all of the other Gospels such as Matthew, John, and Mark.

Queen Elizabeth is said to be continually "on the throne," but it's my understanding that she rarely actually sits on it.

In Britian "on the throne" tends to connote something else anyway; being continually "on the throne" would indicate a trip to the chemist is required.

Jesus rose in material form and has been transferred to a dimension we're currently calling "Heaven."

In Heaven.

He rose in a glorified human body that will no longer decay. It is located in Heaven.

This is made clear in the Book of Revelation because Jesus still identifies himself as the root and descendant of David. The Spirit of Jesus is eternal so the only way he could call himself the root and descendant of David is if he continues to have a human body in Heaven.

“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.” (Revelation 22:16)

It doesn't exist. When Jesus reentered his body after the crucifixion and the three days he was in Hell, he walked the earth for 40 days. But he told Mary who saw him returned to life that she could not touch him because he had not yet ascended to his father.
Jesus body was no longer flesh and blood but light. He was spirit manifest without the flesh that had acted as a container of the holy spirit when he was alive as the son of man.

Jesus spirit is returned to the source, to God. Jesus was God. And God is a spirit.
There is no body at all.

I think you need to check your timing as shown in the Gospel of John. Jesus told Mary not to touch Him on the very morning of His resurrection, but it was eight days after that that Thomas physically handled Him.

He was a material being when He ascended to heaven, and Paul testifies that He is a material being because we will be resurrected and ascend as material beings.

That's not Christian belief.

Is this location within a million miles of planet Earth?

Is this location closer to the North Pole than to the South Pole?

Then where are the bone fragments which made up the skeletal structure of Jesus?

If there are no bone fragments, then where did the physical matter which made up his bone fragments go?

 

[Akureyri]

He is ascended and enthroned at the right hand of the father. Yes. That's what resurrection is.

When I ask where the body of Jesus is, I mean physical or geographic location.

Do you know what the physical or geographic location of Jesus skeletal remains is?

Different universe. Rotate 90 degrees out of three-d space and you're there. It's better to be slightly elevated before rotating to take as little solid matter with you as possible.
