The Bible consistently emphasizes a clear distinction between Jesus’ physical body and His divine nature. To blur or merge these two aspects would be a form of theological revisionism that distorts the biblical record. Jesus’ physical form was not omnipresent, nor was His body scattered across different locations in the Holy Lands—picking up pieces here and there. Think about the scene at the Last Supper: part of Jesus’ body was broken and consumed by His disciples. This raises significant questions—if His body could be eaten, it would suggest a kind of presence that is fundamentally different from what we normally understand. I am drawing from the apostles’ own discussions about circumcision as an analogy—though I won’t delve into that now. It might seem grim or unsettling, but if we are committed to biblical literalism, then we should interpret these descriptions as straightforwardly as possible. That approach makes sense to me. However, it also prompts the question: how can we be certain that Jesus’ physical body shares the same properties as ours? Specifically, how do we know His body was limited to a physical, mortal existence? It appears that, for Christ’s body to be truly eternal or divine, it must differ fundamentally from our mortal bodies. The Gospels imply that Jesus had the ability to appear and disappear at will, that His body did not suffer pain in the usual way, and that His physical presence exhibited qualities incompatible with ordinary human bodies. Consider Mary—eternally pregnant, as if nine months of gestation somehow transitioned into a divine state of being. I enjoy using satire and humor to illustrate how far one’s imagination can stretch in this debate. If we are committed to biblical consistency, then we should interpret everything as literally as possible. For example, the Nicene Creed offers detailed explanations on this subject, emphasizing the importance of the doctrine of the Trinity. Without this understanding, we risk teaching doctrines that oppose the very truth of Christ. It’s common sense: viewing Jesus as God merely contained within a physical form diminishes His divine nature. God is infinitely vast—an infinite person without parts or spatial limitations. In eternity, He cannot be fully present in one space in a fragmented or partial way. Think carefully about this. When discussing these topics, it’s essential to understand the difference between a being and a thing, because that distinction is foundational for separating mystical ideas from biblical truth.
