QUESTION: In Acts 1:9-11, Christ enters heaven with flesh and blood, and it was written that flesh and blood cannot enter into heaven. What is your stand on this?
ANSWER: Acts 1:9-11 does not say, nor imply, that at the ascension Christ’s body consisted of flesh and blood. Neither does Luke 24:39 say that His resurrected body was of flesh and blood. It simply says that His body was flesh and bones! What kind of flesh? We do not know (1 Corinthians 15:35-44), but we do know that it was not flesh and blood as we know it, for, as stated, such cannot inherit the kingdom of God (1 Corinthians 15:50). We also know that at our resurrection we too, as Christ, shall have a body (2 Corinthians 5:1-4) and that it will be “fashioned like unto His glorious body” (Philippians 3:20-21; 1 John 3:2).
