Hi Micah7:9,
The phrases "spiritual body/bodies" and "glorified body/bodies," I cannot find in the Bible. Yet much is said about the subject and that we will receive at a future time.
The mystery of the Scriptures is not laid out there for everyone to see. But for those that He gives eyes to see He will show us how to put the Scriptures together to learn these things, as Ray does. We know that Christ had great glory before He came into the flesh as God of the OT and we also know that Christ recieved that glory back when He returned to heaven after His resurrection.
John 17:5 And now Father, glorify Me with Yourself with the glory which I had with You before the world was.
Now in 1 John we can see that we will be like the resurrected Christ in all His glory.
1John 3:2 Beloved, now we are children of God, and it has not yet been revealed what we shall be. But we know that when He shall be revealed,
we shall be like Him, for we shall see Him as He is.
This is certainly speaking of the gloried Christ and we will be "like Him," spirit. Jesus Christ Himself explained what is needed to be actually born into the kingdom.
John 3:5 Jesus answered, Truly, truly, I say to you, Unless a man is born of water
and the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
"The Spirit" spoken of here is the Holy Spirit given/begotten to the few chosen Elect as an earnest in this life (2 Cor 1:22).
v. 6 That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit.
v. 7 Do not marvel that I said to you, You must be born again.
Christ goes on to explain exactly what He mean by "born of the Spirit."
John 3:8 The Spirit breathes where He desires, and you hear His voice, but you do not know from where He comes, and where He goes; so is everyone who is born of the Spirit.
This is clearly not a physical body He is speaking of that those born into the kingdom. Also this would explain how upon resurrection the Elect will all rise up to meet Him in the air.
1Th 4:17 Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air. And so we shall ever be with the Lord.
A physical body will not rise up to meet Christ in the air. Hope this helps.
mercy, peace and love
