Jesus and the tomb

Why? It would just be Jesus' dead bones. He was dead, He died, his earthly body died. Then the Father raised him in a new spiritual body. I don't think Christ was raised in his earthly body. I personally believe that God took or hid Jesus' earthly body, much like he did Moses to keep silly men from worshipping the dead bones. But even if Jesus' bones were found, what would that prove?
And how would anyone ever prove that any bones belonged to Jesus anyway.
For me even if they could prove that any bones belonged to Jesus, it wouldn't bother me one bit.
Now, if a race of space aliens landed and said we were planted billions of years ago by them, my faith might be a little shaken up ;) ;D

I looked at it as, if they found His body, then that would prove He didn't Rise From The Dead and if He didn't rise, then vain is thy faith.
1Cr 15:13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
1Cr 15:14 And if Christ be not risen, then [is] our preaching vain, and your faith [is] also vain.
Also, Jesus didn't leave His body in the tomb,
Craig:
But he was risen, in a spiritual body, what does his earthly body have to do with anything?
He was seen many times in a spiritual body, not his eartly body.
Will we die and be risen in our eartlhy bodies?
No we won't and Jesus wasn't either.

Mar 16:6 And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.
So obviously, if they find his body in the tomb, then the NT writers lied, when they wrote "he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him [it's supposed to be empty].
So if it;s not empty, then houston we have a problem. What happened to his earthly body then? I always looked at it like Jesus' earthly body was transformed into a spiritual body, that's why it wasn't there.
Deborah-Leigh:
Will some of us be raised to a physical body again as was Lazarus and others who Jesus restored to life?
Will perhaps the many and the lost be raised to physical life to continue life on earth as Christ and His Elect rule and straighten out things through the LOF WTJ?
Any thoughts?....answers....???
Peace to you
