You need to stop thinking something that Scriptures says you should stop thinking.

Therefore, from now on, we regard no one according to the flesh.
Even though we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now
we know Him thus no longer." 2 Corinthians 5:16​


He is no longer to be seen as "a man" who was to substitute for us to die on the Cross!

He is now in a glorious Heavenly body.
One with all the fullness of God almighty in his being!

For in Christ all the fullness of the Deity lives in bodily form,
and in Christ you have been brought to fullness.
He is the head over every power and authority." Colossians 2:9-10​


.......
And you should realize that although Lord Jesus ascended into heaven, we don't and we won't. We shall resurrect right here on earth, our future glorious body will only resemble his after the resurrection, during his last fourty days on earth.

Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor. (1 Cor. 15:39-41)
 
Jesus Christ still has a flesh and bone body, albeit supernatural.
It is no longer like the body He was resurrected into.
That was still the body of the dust of the earth.
When He ascended to Heaven he became glorified and transformed.

That is one reason why we are no longer to know him after the flesh that he used to be.

Not all flesh is the same: People have one kind of flesh, animals have another,
birds another and fish another. There are also heavenly bodies and there are
earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor
of the earthly bodies is another."
1 Corinthians 15:39-40​

.
 
You have to remember, the Word, who would later manifest as Jesus the Christ, is God and to say that God COULD NOT appear in flesh form before His incarnation means that it, to you, is/was impossible.
You have to remember, God the Son MUST appear in flesh, the rule is set in 1 Jn. 4:1-3, with no wiggle room.
 
You post repeatedly that 1 John scripture. Who has said that Jesus Christ didn't come in the flesh? Certainly not I. Are you saying that I am acting under the spirit of antichrist and in turn a false prophet? Well I can say that you, by claiming Jesus to be just a medium, are operating under the spirit of error instead of the Spirit of Truth.
I've never said the Jesus was "just" a medium and nothing else, it is you who couldn't comprehend the depth and significance of his "medium" capacity by perceiving it as offensive. Ask yourself, is Lord Jesus not the "ladder"? The way? The high priest? The spokesperson of God the Father, a prophet like Moses?

All of that is true, but to shake you out of your reverie, our job is to occupy and tend our business till he returns.
 
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.

Did you not read what I originally posted? Not terrestrial but spiritual, made from the "stuff of heaven", just as our bodies now are made from the "stuff of earth". Our bodies are on earth so must be raised from the earth but our new bodies wait for us in heaven, so technically our resurrection occurs in both places, just as Christ was raised from the tomb on earth but received his new body after His ascension when in heaven.

1Cor.15:42-45
42So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. 43It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. 44It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 45And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit.

If you are going to make claims, bring the scriptures that back them up.
 
You have to remember, God the Son MUST appear in flesh, the rule is set in 1 Jn. 4:1-3, with no wiggle room.

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.

Did you not read 1 Cor. 15:40? Plus Rev. 20:1-5? Technically our resurrection only occurs on earth upon His return, that's the FIRST resurrection. A spiritual body is still an earthly body suited for earthly life in the millennial kingdom, directly ruled by Lord Jesus.

Ask yourself is the Lord Jesus not God?

I'm beginning to suspect you would not answer that in the affirmative. I pray I'm wrong.

That speaks of how he came.
Not how what he has become after went to Heaven!


For our citizenship is in heaven, from which we also eagerly wait for the Savior,
the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body that it may be conformed
to His glorious body, according to the working by which He is able even to subdue
all things to Himself.
Philippians 3:20-21​

Our resurrection body will not simply be the body like we now have, minus the fallen nature.
We have become a new creation. Our home is to be heaven. Heaven has different elements
to build a body from. This earth has elements that are doomed to perish in the future.

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.
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.

We are going to meet Him in the clouds to be resurrected. Not on earth.

For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel,
and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 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 thus we shall always be with the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 4:16-17​

Verse 40 is speaking of the earth versus other astral things in the universe, not speaking directly of the resurrection until v42.

Our citizenship is in heaven, not earth. Jesus promised to come get us and take us to where He was going which, was 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.
Philippians 3:20

The Church is destined for heaven.

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.

Heaven, not this earth, is our eternal Home!
As our present bodies consist of the elements of this earth?
So shall our new bodies be consisting of the elements of Heaven!

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.

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 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)
 
I agree with your post, except for one thing, God spoke, and people heard, Him say "this is My beloved Son" on two occasions. Matthew 3:17 and Matthew 17:5/Luke 9:35
You left out something He said.

Luke 9:35
Then a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My Son, My Chosen One; listen to Him!

We are back where we started in that the Father has never spoken to us, only the Word.

Regarding everything in life and beyond.
