That's allegorizing if I ever have seen it. Do you have any Scriptural basis for those statements?
Do you believe Jesus rose physically from the dead and that His return will be physical and He will set up a physical Kingdom on this physical earth, or it's just 'nothing more than a correct heart'...'the heart that God occupies'?

I beleive the body of Jesus did not see corruption for three days and nights. Its almost as if time stood still, The father kept it in the refrig to preserve it. There are reason as to why but all had to do with attributing any work to the corrupted work of the flesh and it could of been kept from decay to prevent the show the work of dying and it is why it saw no corruption.. ?
2 Corinthains 5:16 informs us that the outward flesh that was used to represent the unseen work of the promise of Joel that Christ would come and pour out His unseen spirit on corrupted flesh to demonstrate that which the letter of the law could not do. The Spirit of the law of truth did finish that work. The time of promised demonstration is over. If he would cloth Himself with the temporal flesh and we would crucify him over and over. the world would wonder why one demonstration was not enough?
2 Corinthians 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, "yet now henceforth" know we him no more.
Christ is in us.... not of us. He is here reigning with saints.
Would him putting on temporal flesh make him more believable? The spirit of lies putting on the flesh of the serpent seemed to make him more believable. Problem is Christ wanted mankind to believe Him not seen and not learn by exerence.as if experience was the validator of the unseen spiritual things of God . Faith departed.
Galatians 2:16 Knowing that a man is not justified by the works of the law, but by the faith of Jesus Christ, even we have believed in Jesus Christ, that we might be justified by the faith of Christ, and not by the works of the law: for by the works of the law shall no flesh be justified
Job in chapter 9 confirms God is not known by natural man born with no faith be which he could know and understand. as in the heart is desperately wicked and beyond control as in who could know it? One day it condemns the next minute it excuses as a figment of our imagination the human heart, seat of all understanding, save that of God . .
If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.Job9:20
Again as to the unfamiliar but not hopeless bond between God and man. Job declares.
If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean; Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me..Job 9:30-31
The he gives the answer as to why.
For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment. Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon "us both"..Job9:32-33
"Us both" God not seen and man seen.
A daysman is a word the deccribes a flesly mediator that stands between God not seen and man seen as a infallible umpire calling the shots. But even the Son of man Jesus who confirmed His flesh profits for nothing as a demonstration of the unseen spiritual as that which does quicken our souls. And when called good Master as a infallible interpreter he gave glory to the unseen father and declared; only God unseen in His unseen hiding place is good. The word "good" describes our unseen Faithful Creator .
