Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Breath = living soul

Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
Can not kill the soul for that is the very breath that goes back to God when we die. Our soul can never die and is preserved until Gods final judgment at the end of time. It is that breath of God breathed into us that made a living soul. Breath = living soul.

No one has ever entered the third Heaven where God sits on His throne. Third Heaven is where God and the holy angels and spirits (souls) of just men dwell. It is called “The heaven of heavens,” Deuteronomy 10:14; 1 Kings 8:27; Psalms 115:16; 148:4; 1Kings 8:27; Psalms 2:4.

Ecclesiastes 12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as it was: and the spirit (soul) shall return unto God who gave it.
Ruach, the Hebrew word for spirit here, means "breath" or "wind" as well as "spirit".

1John 3:2 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.

Act 1:11 Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

Luke 24:33-53 We see that Jesus had flesh and bone and did eat with the Disciples, but now the flesh was glorified. Just as we will see Jesus the way he ascended into Heaven is the same way we too will be resurrected from the grave if we are not alive when Christ returns, which gives the saying in 1Corinthians 15:55 it's meaning. This body will have put on immortality and become an incorruptible body that also eats and drinks being flesh and bone, but now being a sinless glorified body given by the Father.

1Corinthians 15 we are resurrected into a Spiritual body that scripture does not give detail what it will look like, but will be like that of Christ glorified body that eats and drinks as when he came and showed himself to the Disciples he told them to touch him and also sat and ate with them.
 
1Corinthians 15 we are resurrected into a Spiritual body

The verse below is deliberately misquoted in order to emphasize a point. Watch for
the revision.

"It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spirit body. If there is a natural body, there
is also a spirit body." (1Cor 15:44)

There are of course spirit bodies, e.g. angels and demons. However, the actual
word in the verse above is supposed to be spiritual rather than spirit, and in some
places describes spiritual things that bear absolutely no resemblance whatsoever to
the bodily characteristics of a ghost. For example:

Spiritual gifts (Rom 1:11)
Spiritual law (Rom 7:14)
Spiritual things (Rom 15:27)
Spiritual people (1Cor 2:15)
Spiritual nourishment (1Cor 10:3)
Spiritual water (1Cor 10:4)
Spiritual rock (1Cor 10:4)
Spiritual counselors (Gal 6:1)
Spiritual blessings (Eph 1:3)
Spiritual music (Eph 5:19)
Spiritual understanding (Col 1:9)
Spiritual housing (1Pet 2:5)
Spiritual sacrifices (1Pet 2:5)

So then, although a spiritual body is indestructible; its properties aren't necessarily
those of a specter.

* The thing to note is that no matter what the chemistry is of a spiritual body, it will
be capable of dining upon ordinary foods and beverages in the future theocratic
kingdom.

Matt 26:29 . . I tell you: I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until
that day when I drink it anew with you in my Father's kingdom.

Luke 22:15-16 . . I have eagerly desired to eat this Passover with you before I
suffer. For I tell you: I will not eat it again until it finds fulfillment in the kingdom of
God.

Luke 22:28-30 . .You are the ones that have stuck with me in my trials; and I
make a covenant with you, just as my Father has made a covenant with me, for a
kingdom, that you may eat and drink at my table in my kingdom.


FAQ: But doesn't 1Cor 15:50 say flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of
God?


REPLY: In context: bodies of flesh and blood pertain to the characteristics of
Adam's construction, i.e. within the 15th of 1Corinthians, flesh and blood speaks of
bodies made with natural elements, to wit: the earth's soil. (Gen 2:7)

Sometime in the future, the chemical composition of the bodies of the folks unified
with Christ will undergo a miraculous transformation. Their bodies will go from
human to superhuman. (1Cor 15:51-53 & 1Thess 4:13-17) Apparently God has in
store an unnatural periodic table of elements about which is known virtually
nothing.

Thank you for your reply.

Sometimes it all depends on what translation of the Bible one uses. Below is the KJV I use as you can see it says spiritual and nor spirit which can be two different things.

1Cor 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.

It's the difference between being fleshly born from your mother's womb (natural) as flesh and Spirit can not mix, Romans 8:5-8. Being yet carnal in the flesh we can not discern that of the Spiritual, but only the natural, until we accept Jesus as Lord and Savior having become Spiritually born again from above, John 3:5-7; Romans 10:9-10.



hat is separate from God, but now that we are Spiritually reborn again from above, John 3:5-7,
