DaveM,
I believe that there is more to it than meets the eye; much that we don't understand at this point about spiritual bodies. His body obviously appeared as flesh and bones to Thomas, and the other people in the closed room, and he he ate food, so there must at some level be a "natural" consistency, but also He entered a room that was closed with the same body, could come and go at will, which speaks of a nature that we do not understand. Perhaps when in the earth dimension it appears as flesh and bones, but when in the spiritual dimension it takes on or exhibits other qualities. I guess I will just have to wait to fully understand the nature of our resurrected bodies! How exciting that new age of discovery will be!
DAVEH: You pretty well avoided my questions, Perry. I'm interested in knowing if you believe Jesus has or possesses a physical body consisting of flesh and bone today??? And to extrapolate my curiosity, do you think you also will have such a body (of flesh and bone) after you are resurrected? (And to add another related question, do you think all people---whether good or bad---will be resurrected with such bodies of flesh and bone?)

DaveH, how do you think Jesus came into a locked room?
DAVEH: I don't know the exact answer, Perry. However, how do you suppose Jesus got his physically resurrected body (of flesh and bone) out of the sepulcher? Perhaps he entered the locked room in a similar fashion, eh.
You are flesh and bones, can you enter a locked room without opening the door, or hurting yourself or the door? Fess up!
DAVEH: There is a technical difference between mortals with a body of flesh and blood, and Jesus' resurrected body of flesh and bone. I don't know the exact nature of that difference, but I believe there are a lot of things Jesus could do with his resurrected body that would seemingly defy what we commonly perceive are the laws of nature.
There are things about the spiritual body of Christ that we just do not understand.
DAVEH: I agree. But the same applies to the physical body of flesh and bones of Jesus. From the nature of your post, Perry, it almost sounds as though you do not believe Jesus has a physical body of flesh and bones today. Which way do you believe? Do you think Jesus has a body of flesh and bone today....or.....do you think he only possesses a spirit body?
Maybe he is a 4-dimensional being now, and can pass through three dimensions at will, but still feels like a 3 dimensional being to our 3 dimensional senses!
