    Jesus took form a flesh so he could walk on earth with us when He ascended into Heaven # 1 he's Jesus he can do anything

    # 2 When Paul says flesh cannot inherit the kingdom of Heaven it means if we are not saved we cannot enter

    Paul did not say a resurected body could not evter heaven just the type of mortal flesh we has could not inherit it

    Jesus had a resurrected body not an ordinary mortal one

    NASB

    50. Now I say this, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

    51. Behold, I tell you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,

    52. in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet; for the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised imperishable, and we shall be changed.

    53. For this perishable must put on the imperishable, and this mortal must put on immortality.

    54. But when this perishable will have put on the imperishable, and this mortal will have put on immortality, then will come about the saying that is written, "Death is swallowed up in victory.

    He did NOT ascend in the flesh. He was a SPIRIT. The spirit then can re-assemble the particles that make up the flesh. This process takes a while, that is why he said upon re-appearing to the disciples, not to touch him. If you are truly interested in this, try a book that explains the Adamantine particles, and how that interfaces the material and spiritual worlds: "Love without end" by Green.

    Heaven is complete without flesh or mortal thoughts. To us, Jesus appeared as flesh, but maybe there is something more to it.

    The Lord was the first to be resurrected in body and spirit, having an incorruptable and immortal body joined again with His spirit.

    Paul's comment was focused on those with fleshly, or carnal thoughts not entering the kingdom of heaven. One day we all will be immortal, having been resurrected and united again with our spirits, never again to be separate.

    Jesus' natural human body was transformed at his resurrection into a body that is indeed compatible with both heaven and earth.

    Natural Flesh, as in unsaved people. He was human, but also God, Elijah also went to heaven as a human.

    Such utter gibberish here. Do you chaps not see it? Surely it isn't your aim in life to be a walking, talking absurdity. Oh, thank my lucky stars that you are you and I am not. It's like an Ionesco play--I know few of you will know what that means, but, kids, it has to do with illusion, sanity, over-the-top.
