Jesus Christ is still a human

  So you actually think that jesus is human of flesh and blood, which would mean he would eat, sleep, and poop, in heaven. He is surrounded by his spirit father, and spirit angels, yet he is human? Who cuts his hair? Does he wear clothes? What kind of clothes? How about shoes.....does he wear them too.? If so....why would he need shoe's in a spirit realm?

  The scriptures show that Jesus is a human man with a glorious body of flesh. As far a bodily functions and needs in heaven go the scriptures are silent. Perhaps the body is sustained physically, but it is probably sustained by the Spirit.

  Hey Hoob,

  I appreciate the time and thought you put into this.

  Also Jesus must be a fleshly decendant of David in order to sit on Davids throne

  Actually Jesus did NOT come from David.

  According to the scriptures, Jesus fleshly linage came from Mary and God.........David seed was not involved in ANY MANNER.

  Why do the scriptures in their geneology of Christ, always trace his linage through man, when he did not come from them? His linage is from his father in heaven, not a human father.

  The way I see it God made space and time and therefore doesn't need them to exist.

  I know the Bible speaks of God as a rock but it is just a metaphor. I don't think you can discribe God except by metaphor because he is beyond our senses to discribe.

  Jesus being with his Father is something that goes beyond our comprehension since all we know is the physical world and don't have the senses to experience the Spirit world.

  So it seem very silly to me to even expect the Bible to accurately discribe Jesus after his going to the Father, only metaphorically.

  God speaks of himself as a man sometimes in the Bible, we say the Bible is using anthropomorphisms. We should not take it literally. God has no need of legs, mouth, bladder, penis, or rectum, because he is not physical, he created the physical and therefore is before the physical and is in no need of the physical to live.
