VERY briefly & I'll be back in a day or so.
The pre-ascension resurrected body of the Lord was, indeed, quite special: appearing in a room not walking through a door, face unrecognizable, road to Emmaus, etc.
The post-ascension body of Jesus was a blinding light!!!! (Paul, road to Damascus).
1Co 15:42 So is it with the resurrection of the dead. What is sown is perishable; what is raised is imperishable.
1Co 15:43 It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness; it is raised in power.
1Co 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.
1Co 15:45 Thus it is written, "The first man Adam became a living being"; the last Adam became a life-giving spirit.
1Co 15:46 But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural, and then the spiritual.
1Co 15:47 The first man was from the earth, a man of dust; the second man is from heaven.
1Co 15:48 As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven, so also are those who are of heaven.
1Co 15:49 Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.
My emphases in bold are there to ask questions:
1) Is the Lord's ascended body now transformed fully into pure spirit? It surely seems so; it's what the text says.
2) Our post mortem bodies will bear/become his same 'glorified pneuma image'. Correct? Again, it seems so to me.
Great convo, but I have to go for now.
