CORRUPTIBLE flesh and blood, subject to death as the wages of sin. Not so anymore when the Lord returns and death, the last enemy, is defeated.

Except people can die during the Millennium. Isaiah speaking of the new creation say:

Isaiah 65:20
“No more shall an infant from there live but a few days, Nor an old man who has not fulfilled his days; For the child shall die one hundred years old, But the sinner being one hundred years old shall be accursed.
The last enemy death, will no longer be manifested until after the end of the Millennium, if it were not so those who rebel in the war of Armageddon would be battling forever, never dying physically.
Plus you keep ignoring the scripture that states He is raised with a spiritual body.
 
The new body in our resurrection is still a terrestial body suited for earthly life, as long as our resurrection takes place not in heaven, but on earth.
Matthew 22:30
For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven.

I keep telling everyone they will be sitting on clouds with little wings but no one listens.
 
How about leaving that future heavenly citizenship to the future, while seizing our present earthly citizenship on earth while we're still on earth?

Future?

Positional truth says it is as good as now!

And God raised us up with Christ and seated us with him in the heavenly realms in Christ Jesus," Ephesians 2:6​

As far as God is concerned?
We are already in Heaven.
The body we now have here?
Has been declared crucified.

I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I now live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20

Experientially we remain in our crucified body.
Positionally, we are already seated with Him in Heaven.

We are NOW in Him as Eve was in Adam before God removed the rib from his side!

YES! We are the Bride of Christ!
 
Ask yourself, what does the title "God" means to you. In all other religions, including Catholicism, in my observation, god sits high up in the temple demanding sacrifices from its worshippers, only in Christianity does God humble himself to a man among us and sacrifice himself for us. So if god is the first version, then no; if the second, then most affirmatively, unequivocally, yes.

God is God, stop playing semantics. There is no God of the first version, even you use the small "g" to signify that truth.

Is the Lord Jesus Christ God or not? It's a yes or no question.
 
How about leaving that future heavenly citizenship to the future, while seizing our present earthly citizenship on earth while we're still on earth? I'm not a fan of escapism, the human history has got enough of that, constantly fantasizing about the afterlife while neglecting the present life.
We are now ambassadors. Not citizens of earth.

No one goes to heaven except the Lord himself.

No one has ascended to heaven but He who came down from heaven, that is, the Son of Man who is in heaven. (Jn. 3:13)
Ephesians 2:5-7
Even when we were dead in our transgressions, made us alive together with Christ (by grace you have been saved),
and raised us up with Him, and seated us with Him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus.

He did come in the flesh, but there is no scripture says He must remain in the flesh forever. Flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God.
Yeah the evidence when Thomas put his hands in the side if you notice there's a distinct difference Christ came to Earth in the flesh and with blood and his blood poured out onto the Earth for us when he returned after his resurrection he was flesh and Bone this is a clear distinction between the two types of bodies the Earthly body and the Heavenly Body

No, the church is destined to reign the millennial kingdom with Christ on EARTH.

And I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their witness to Jesus and for the word of God, who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received his mark on their foreheads or on their hands. And they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. (Rev. 20:4)

No, the Lord went away and said He would come and take us to where He is. The place He is preparing is in heaven.

John 14:3
And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and receive you to Myself; that where I am, there you may be also.

Those who reign with Christ for a thousand years are those came out of the tribulation years. The Church is removed before the Tribulation so the antichrist can be revealed.

A spiritual body still has physiological needs, which prove it a real, materialized body.

When He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet. But while they still did not believe for joy, and marveled, He said to them, “Have you any food here?” So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb. And He took it and ate in their presence.

"The mind is its own place, and in itself can make a heaven of hell, a hell of heaven".

Which version of God according to your understanding, the first or the second? This is not semantics, this is exposing a loaded question.
 
1 Thessalonians 4:16
For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the
trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.
"Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven.” Acts 1:11
 
Ephesians 2:5-7

"Heavenly places" are on earth, as it is in heaven.

Your kingdom come. Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. (Matt. 6:10)
