Some might say that the God-Man Jesus will not need a carbon-based body in the spiritual
realm. However, being God, Jesus needed
to "dispose off" his carbon body on His own terms, and not on the
terms of His tormentors. He would do that at the time of the Ascension into
substantive, spiritual reality and not following the crucifixion. Hence, the
need for a physical resurrection, empty tomb and a newly-wounded carbon body
with wounds visible on the hands and on the side (the doubting Thomas
episode). And though there is no
carbon-based Jesus's body in the spiritual realm at this time, if and when the
Risen Christ wishes to re-project himself into the physical realm, he can do so
by enacting His Ascension in reverse i.e. by re-materializing His carbon-based
body which, while He is not physically present in the physical realm, still
exists as a pattern or thought-form in His mind. All in all, the physical
resurrection documented in the Gospels makes perfect theological and spiritual
sense and need not be attributed to the
alleged carnal thinking of those first century Jews and Noahides (God-fearers)
who accepted the ascended messianic kingship of Jesus of Nazareth.
