I did not read every post so someone may have already said this. "we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is." 1 John 3:2 as others have said i believe we will be able to do things that he do's. but he will still be all powerful.(more powerful than us) and we shall see him face to face just like if we was standing in front of each other while i said this. for no one have seen the face of God and lived. this is just my opinion.

Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when He shall appear, we shall be like Him; for we shall see Him as He is. 1 John 3:2

My question is, when corruptible put on incorruption, and mortal put on immortality, what will our "Glorified Bodies be able to do since we shall be like our Lord Jesus Christ at the Rapture?
Gabriel (the greatest Angel), The only Angel mention in the bible that is always in the present of God the Father said these words, "For with God nothing shall be impossible." Luke 1:37

The Glorified Body will have no blood. It will be 100% totally control by the Holy Spirit; nothing shall be impossible.

“O death, where is thy sting? O grave, where is thy victory?” 1 Cor. 15:55

Glory be to God. Praise God Praise God!

The expression "glorified body" ... can anyone tell where in the Scriptures we hear about it?

Php 3:21 ος μετασχηματισει __ (idea: meta-schema)
το σωμα της ταπεινωσεως ημων __ ( having a human body is not a humilliation, but compared with Jesus' body is a very simple and humble one)
συμμορφον τω σωματι της δοξης αυτου __ (it is about getting a new form, Jesus' body form, a glorious one)
κατα την ενεργειαν του δυνασθαι αυτον και υποταξαι αυτω τα παντα __ (it is about Jesus transforming with his power, getting "something" and making it a whole new "thing")

This passage implies not only a change, but a new construction, which is obvious since in the resurrection no people will have the same body they died with, but a new one. It is not talking about other's people bodies, but Jesus' glorious body. I think it is not exact to talk about "glorified bodies" ... and neither talking about fleshy glorified bodies. A body of flesh and bones is still a humble one, a simple one, compared with angels bodies, for example.

1Co 15:35 (ESV) But someone will ask, "How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?"
36 You foolish person! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies.
37 And what you sow is not the body that is to be, but a bare kernel, perhaps of wheat or of some other grain.
38 But God gives it a body as he has chosen, and to each kind of seed its own body.

This passage is comparing the new body with a plant, saying the plant that rise from a seed is not the seed, but something totally new that grows when the seed die. A body of resurrection has from the dead body what a tree has from the seed ... no more.

My point is: why do I need to talk about flesh and bones entering in heaven if Scriptures says exactly the contrary?
And why talking about "glorified bodies" of flesh and bones, if the body of the resurrected ones only get from the dead body "what the tree get from the seed"? There are other kind of bodies, like angels have. I don't see anywhere in the Scritures anything about glorified bodies of flesh and bones.

1Co 15:44 (ESV) It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body.

Was the human body of Jesus a "glorified body" as people use the expression? If no ... how so?

I would like to know what is the answer of this question ... What do you think about it?

Before his death, was the body of Jesus a "glorified body"? If not, how so? If yes, how you can prove that with the Scriptures?

A glorified body would be one unseen . (the faith principle) When men went to glory in the flesh of the Son of man, Jesus .He said one alone is God (not seen) .God is not a man as us . His unseen presence we seek after represents the light of his glory .

Jesus refused to perform the abomination of desecration spoken of in Daniel .

Live without sin..
Live without death..
Live without uncertainty..
Live without Pain or Tears..

And that's not even the tip of the iceberg.. Because the Bible does not reveal all we will be able to do.. I am sure it is going to be an awesome series of surprises.. :)
