THE SPIRIT DOESN’T HAVE BLOOD FLESH, AND BONES Some people believe that God has a flesh and bones in heaven, but Jesus said, "God is a Spirit" John 4: 24. The bible tells us that the body returns to dust but not to heaven. The scriptures read: And the Lord God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Genesis 2: 5 to 7. In the sweat of you face shall you eat bread, till you return unto the ground; for out of were you taken: for dust you are, and unto dust shall you return. Genesis 3: 16 to 19. Jesus said, THE SPIRIT DOESN’T HAVE FLESH AND BONE. Luke 24: 39. In Paul’s first letter to Corinthians Paul said, {Therefore as we have born the image of the earthly, let us bear also the image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, flesh and blood cannot possess the kingdom of God: neither shall corruption possess incorruption.} First letter to Corinthians 15: 49 to 50, MEN, WOMAN, AND CHILDREN WILL BE EQUAL UNTO THE ANGELS, AND YOU WILL ENJOY ETERNAL LIFE IN HEAVEN BETTER THAN ON EARTH. In God’s plan for HUMAN ON this earth that the body REMAINS on earth to RETURN TO DUST = "decompose" and the spirit returns to God for judgement or for eternal life. As the bible tells us in Genesis 3: 19. All righteous peoples shall see God after the resurrection in the spirit but not in the flesh. God is "omnipresence" around us all the time. We can’t see Him because He is in the Spirit AND NOT IN THE FLESH. God created us in the way that we are not capable to see spirit. But at the resurrection of our spirits we shall see God and Jesus and many peoples in the spirit. Moses and God Moses saw God, face to face, but it doesn't mean that God has a face as ours, it means that God was facing Moses when He spoke to Him through the burning bush. If Moses were able to see God’s Spirit, God would not use the burning bush to appear to Moses. God used the burning bush to help Moses to identify the direction of God’s voice. Exodus 3: 2 to 5. Job and God Job saw the glory of God in his flesh when he was healed from his flesh sickness. Job has strong faith in God that He is going to heal him while he still has the earthly fleshing body. Also Job did not prophesied in the name of God, Job was wishing to be healed from his fleshing sickness before the lord’s coming to earth. Job 19: 26 The bible tells us that no one ever saw God, so it is impossible that Job shall see God in the flesh. Jesus rose from the dead The book of Matthew tell us that the Spirit of God descend in the form of a dove when Jesus was baptized. From this scripture we learn also that we can’t see God’s Spirit. Matthew 3: 16. Jesus is the first that rose from the dead. But there are many that rose from the dead also BEFORE JESUS. But those persons died later. For example when Jesus rose Lazarus from the dead, Lazarus didn’t live forever he lived for certain years and died as the others. John 11: 39 to 44. Jesus did eat with His disciples after He rose from the dead because He has glorified earthly body after the resurrection; it is not as the body of Lazarus. Jesus’ Body was glorified when He met with His Father in heaven. It happened after He spoke with Mary Magdalene, Jesus said to Mary touch me not for I didn’t ascend to my father yet. John 20: 11 to 17. The risen child through Elisha And the child that rose from the dead by the prophet Elisha and through God, this child died in later years. Look in the book of The second king 4: 34. But Jesus rose from the dead for eternal life with His earthly body. Jesus’ Body will be a testimony for many peoples when He returns to earth. Especially for the people that don’t believe that Jesus is the Christ, as the Jews and many religious groups. The prophet Elijah and Moses The prophet Elijah ascended to heaven with his body. But we must notice that it is not the same as Jesus’ resurrection. Elijah DIDN’T DIE, he ascended to heaven alive with his body. Jesus died and rose from the dead, Jesus is the first that rose from the dead for eternal life. The reason that Elijah ascended to heaven with his body [after his body been glorified] for the earthly peoples could see him in his flesh when he returns to earth. The reason that God did it because earthly peoples can’t see a spirit. Elijah has a mission, he must return to earth before Jesus. Matthew 17: 1 to 11. The bible tells us that Elijah and Moses appeared to Jesus and His two disciples. Jesus and His disciples have earthly bodies, and we know that earthly peoples can’t see spirits. So Jesus and His disciples saw Moses and Elijah because Moses and Elijah do have earthly "GLORIFIED" body. The body of Moses was not found, the bible tells us that God buried Moses, but no one found his body. Deuteronomy 34: 6. The reason no one saw his body because Moses’ body was taken to heaven. If Moses and Elijah were in the spirits but not in flesh when they appeared to Jesus, Jesus and his disciples were not capable to see them. This appearance was a testimony for the connection between the Old and the New testaments and because Moses shall return to earth with Elijah before Jesus’ return. It is written in the book of Malachi 3: 1 to 3, Malachi 4: 4. Matthew 17: 11. In God’s plan for this earth that the body stays in earth to decompose and to RETURN TO DUST. The book of Genesis tells us in 3: 19. Note about Moses’ body [We must notice that the devil disputes Michael the Archangel about Moses’ body. Jude 1: 9. Moses’ body was not found on earth, the bible tells us that God buried Moses. What is the meaning of this scripture? How do you think God buried Moses, is Moses’ body in heaven? And why the devil disputes Michael for Moses’ body, does the body must remain on earth to return to dust AS GOD PLANS IT? Also we know that God cursed the serpent to eat dust as its food, Genesis 3: 14, and we know that the devil is that old serpent Genesis 3: 1, Revelation 12: 9. So do you know why the devil = serpent disputes Michael about Moses body.] [God plans many rules for this world, one of these plans that the work of devil is to deceive human. And human’s body must decompose into dust and to remain on earth. The flesh is worldly thing and the devil is part of this world. The devil is the old serpent, and God curse that serpent = the devil to eat dust as its meal. So could we find some answers from these explanations why the devil disputes Michael for Moses’ body? Is it because Moses’ body ascended to heaven after his death instead remaining on earth according to God’s plan?] [So the body must remain in earth to return to dust. The bible tells us that God is God of the living but not the dead. So how God buried Moses' dead body? Does the bible tell us that God is God of the living but not the dead? This scripture tells us that God doesn’t bother with the dead. So how God could bury Moses’ body? And if Moses’ body was buried in earth why the devil has to dispute Michael about Moses’ body? ] [The body dies and decomposes in earth and the spirit shall resurrect for Judgement or for eternal life with God. Matthew 22: 32.] Does the flesh ascend to heaven? After Jesus rose from the dead many bodies rose from the graves also and went to Jerusalem to testify to the peoples. It not mentioned in the bible that those bodies ascend to heaven. It means that this miracle is the same as when Jesus rose Lazarus from the dead. Those bodies lived and died in later life as Lazarus. Matthew 27: 52 to 53. Note: [Some religious groups as the Mormon believes that the person rises with the fleshly earthly body ascending to heaven to continue his earthly life with his wife, husband, children, or with friends]. "But I don’t agree with this statement" God tells us in the book of Genesis that the body returns to dust in earth. As I explain previously that Jesus’ body is not as ours, we were born of man and woman and with sinful body but Jesus did not. Jesus is from above through the Holy Spirit and from the heavenly Father. The purpose of our earthly body is to live for some years on earth but not forever. God creates our bodies in many weaknesses. For example: for vision we have to use our eyes and we have to turn our heads in many directions in according to identify. To walk we have to do many movements in according to move our feet. To speak we have to use our minds, lungs, and lips. To travel we have to use cars, airplanes, boats, and animals. To live on this planet earth we need oxygen in our bloods. It is not the same when we are in the spirit. DO YOU WANT TO KEEP this weak body in heaven? Jesus said, "God is a Spirit" John 4: 24. In heaven male and female don’t exist, this sexuality is God’s creations on earth for multiplication. In heaven there is no such things. Note: [Some religious groups {as the Mormons] believe that sexuality and fleshly multiplication do exist in heaven. For example: the Mormons believe that their families "children, husbands and wives" shall continue the same earthly living in heaven. And they believe that God has a body of flesh and bones.] I don’ agree with this statement. Noah and human’s multiplication God plans the human’s multiplication, disciplines, and temptations are for earthly peoples only but not for the heavenly. If the multiplication were for the heavenly God would have sent Noah and his family after the flood to heaven; instead leaving them on earth to make perfect peoples without going through the test and the temptations. Jesus spoke about the same subject, He said, THE CHILDREN OF THIS WORLD MARRY, AND ARE GIVEN IN MARRIAGE. BUT THEY SHALL BE ACCOUNTED WORTHY TO OBTAIN THAT WORLD. AND THE RESURRECTION FROM THE DEAD, NEITHER MARRY, NOR ARE GIVEN IN MARRIAGE. NEITHER CAN THEY DIE ANY MORE: FOR THEY ARE EQUAL UNTO THE ANGELS. Luke 20: 28 to 38. The scripture tells us that after the righteous resurrect to heaven for the eternal life, they will be equal into the angels. It means that all the love ones "husbands, wives, children, and our friends, females and males shall be equal as the angels. It means that the angels are not sexes, they are in the spirits. God made us in his image not because God is male or female. He meant it characteristically in the freedom of choice between good and evil. But human chooses evil instead good. Jesus named His God by the Heavenly Father. Jesus said it for us to understand it in our carnal minds for how much the earthly father suffers in loving his children. God is the Creator and whosoever DOES HIS will becomes His child. The earthly things are not as the heavenly, religions and sexes don’t exist in heaven. The dead are asleep, they don’t hear or speak. They have no authority to act. God place them o stand by until the resurrection day. Daniel 12:2, Eccl 9:5, Psalm 87:10-12, Isaiah 38: 18-19. THE SCRIPTURE TELL US THAT THE DEAD DON’T HEAR AND DON’T SPEAK IT MEANS THAT ELIJAH AND MOSES DIDN’T DIE. WE ALL KNOW ABOUT ELIJAH, BUT HOW ABOUT MOSES? WELL, THE BIBLE SAYS "MOSES DIED AND GOD BURIED HIM". BUT HOW MOSES APPEARED TO JESUS IF THE DEAD CAN’T SPEAK OR HEAR? God took Moses to heaven for this reason the people could not find his body.
