No, He was resurrected and he walked out of his tomb, alive. He was witnessed alive after his burial by many people.
And then?

He ascended to heaven.And then?
Perhaps you misunderstood me? I agree with you that we must abide by attaching the evidences of scripture, and I did so where that was possible, in te chapter and verse division, so Jesus might say something like "For it is written." If anyone questioned or disputed that it had been written then they could be shown, but ultimately it was their responsibility to determine such things.

"He (Jesus) existed in spirit form in heaven prior to coming to earth as Jesus and he returned to heaven as he came, in spirit form." Unquote.
Where Jesus body was buried, please?

He ascended to heaven.
Bible doesn’t tell God has wife from human mother.
Bible tells God has children, but they are spiritual children.
Jesus answered him, "Most assuredly, I tell you, unless one is born anew, he can't see the Kingdom of God." Nicodemus said to him, "How can a man be born when he is old? Can he enter a second time into his mother's womb, and be born?" Jesus answered, "Most assuredly I tell you, unless one is born of water and spirit, he can't enter into the Kingdom of God! That which is born of the flesh is flesh. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit. Don't marvel that I said to you, 'You must be born anew.'
John 3:3-7
But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God's children, to those who believe in his name: who were born not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
John 1:12-13
It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.
John 6:63
Sure there is a point. The resurrected Christ always appeared to the Apostles and Disciples in a physical body. He ate, presumably drank, and he was flesh to Thomas. So, either He was hoaxing the boys and girls, or your contention that after the resurrection He was a spirit is false.
Yes, but the question was where was his body buried.
Please quote from a "historically" valid source, if there is one.Even though historically speaking, He did.
Since Christianity believes that God has a wife from a human mother
The presence of the Son is proof that the Father has the desire of sons
Do you think that this desire will pass to the son?
That it was the rights of the Lord to have a son
Will it be a son's right to be a father in the future?
I mean, in fifty million years, will the offspring of God multiply?
This is a question for Christian brothers
If this question is causing a nuisance, I will remove it
with full respect
GOD bless you
Please, your condescension and air of superiority and judgementalism somewhat tarnishes your statement that you are a Christian.shmogie,
Why are you so certain that you would put your everlasting life at stake??
Don’t you know that angels materialized many times in the past? If you don’t you have not read much of the Bible. If these angels could materialize why couldn’t Jesus.
You do understand that God, Himself inspired the Holy Scriptures, don’t you??? 2Timothy 3:16,17. The Bible even tells us that The Holy Spirit watched over the Bible writers, to make sure they wrote truth, 2Peter 1:20,21. To call the Holy Spirit a lier could make you a blasphemer of the Holy Spirit, which is the unforgivable sin, Matthew 12:31,32. Fortuniatly, God considers most of mankind to stupid to have blasphemed the Holy Spirit, neverthelesss it is not wise to contradict the Holy Scriptures, about whom, The Almighty God, whose has your life in His hands, when the Bible says something, such as Jesus being put to death in the flesh and made a.ive in the Spirit, 1Peter 3:18. Consider verse 19,20, which says , in this state he went and preached to spirits in prison, which ones were disobedient in Noah’s day. Gosh Himself said that He would keep His words pure through all generations, Psalms 12:6,7. When Jesus was on earth,he made the statement, that God’ Word is true, John 17:17.
Do a little genuflectioning, pray for God’s spirit to help you understand His word, and if you are truely sincere He will igive you the ability, with study, to understand His Purpose for mankind and this earth, 1Corinthiand 2:10, Proverbs 2:1-12, Agape!!!
He was buried in the tomb of a prosperous follower, Joseph of Arimethea. After three days He walked out of that tomb. There was no longer a body in it. He walked out in His body.Yes, but the question was where was his body buried.

From a Baha'i view both 'Son' and 'Father' are Stations of Messengers given by God.
Just as in the material world a son becomes a father, then this gives us another metephor as to how Christ will return as the Father.
Baha'u'llah has said,
"..The river Jordan is joined to the Most Great Ocean, and the Son, in the holy vale, crieth out: ‘Here am I, here am I O Lord, my God!’, whilst Sinai circleth round the House, and the Burning Bush calleth aloud: ‘He Who is the Desired One is come in His transcendent majesty.’ Say, Lo! The Father is come, and that which ye were promised in the Kingdom is fulfilled!..."

Please, your condescension and air of superiority and judgementalism somewhat tarnishes your statement that you are a Christian.
Nevertheless, I have studied the scriptures for most of my life, and, sadly, I am old now. I have been ordained.
I do not use apparent loving language to shove the dagger jn by preaching, I say what I have to say directly and clearly.
The Apostles saw and felt a physical body, not a spirit. When Christ ascended, He ascended in that very same physical body. Was it a manifestation of an actual physical body ? Was it a temporary or permanent condition?Scripture doesn´t say. It does say that the Apostles saw him and he was flesh.
Why in the world do you think God is so worried about my view on this matter that he might deny my salvation ? That is cultish nonsense.
My view that people die, and are stone cold dead till the resurrection might be wrong, but do you think that kind of error negates the blood and Grace of Christ ?
Salvation is based upon the true confession of Christ, the repentence from sin, His Grace and following the Guidance of the Spirit which leads to righteousness.
It IS NOT based upon being theologically right in every doctrine of fact, and by judging my soul, because you disagree with me on this matter, you put your own soul at risk.
So he sacrificed his body then took it back?
Once again, you imply that my beliefs are superficial and do not represent the truth, YOUR TRUTH. Your conclusions are wrong. and your exegesis is faulty.Shmogie,
I hate to say this, but for a person of advanced age, a person who has studied the Holy Scriptures lot, you still seem to be a Superficialist, who will believe anything.
Who was it that Ordained you?? If you do not believe the things that are written in the Bible, you cannot be ordained. You are missing some easy to understand truths that will make the difference between everlasting life and everlasting death.
I am sorry I came off to you as someone who thinks he is smarter than he really is, it is because I see so many posts by people who do not care about truth, they just want to be contrary.
Please allow me to give you a few things to think about. First, truth is very important to The Almighty God, John 4:23,24. The Bible says that God will destroy all who do not have a LOVE of the TRUTH, 2Thessalonians 2:10-14. So, is seems to me that truth can mean the difference between everlasting life and eternal death.
Your belief that a person who has died is stone cold dead is exactly right. Jesus gave up his life so that people can be resurrected back to life, John 3:16, 1Timothy 2:3-6. I guess that you believe that, but you seem to have a wrong idea about Baptism and what it means to be saved. Please don’t reject the things I will say because it is not what most people believe. Ask yourself, Do most people take the time it takes to research all the doctrines in the Bible to make sure they believe the truth, or do they leave searching for the truth up to their Preacher or Priest?
Here is something you MUST understand or you will never be able to uunderstand the Bible. There are two hopes for baptized Christians, one group, called, a little flock, who will go to heaven and rule over the world, with Jesus, Luke 12:32. These are the ones spoken of as Being Born Again, Born from God to be spirit creatures, John 3:10-13, 3:3-8. Notice what these Scriptures are saying, if you are Born of the Spirit you are spirit. When thes were baptized they were given a token of the spirit, which means that these ones, upon being resurrected will become ALL spirit. They will be taken to heaven to be Kings and Priests with Jesus, Revelation 20:4-7. Upon baptism a token of the spirit was given to them so they would KNOW that they would go to heaven when resurrected, Romans 8:12-17. These are resurrected as Spirits because flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God, 1Corinthians 15:50, These going to heaven will be Adopted by God to be Brothers of Jesus, Matthew 25:40. As soon as they are resurrected and the ones who are still a.ive when Jesus returns will be changed, in the twinkling of an eye, to an immortal spirit creature, 1Corinthians 15:42-54, 1Thessalonians 4:13-17. This number of the Little Flock is to be numbered 144,000, which number is mentioned several times in Scripture, Revelation 7:4, 14:1-5, notice that they are Firstfruits to God and the Lamb. Now in Revelation 7:4 and 7:9 there is a contrast, the 144,000 and then a Great Crowd that no man can number. This Great Crown will come out of the Great Tribulation. The 144,000 are The Kings and Priests in heaven with Jesus the Great Crowd are on earth. They will be United the the ones who are resurrected, to ,ive inParadise earth.
Something to remember; when God Purposes something, what He Purposes is certain to be fulfilled, Isaiah 55:11. When God Created Adam and Eve, He told them to multiply, and fill the earth and supdue it, and have all the animals in subjection, Genesis 1:26-28. The only way they could die was to disobey God, and if they did they would return to the ground from where they came, Genesis 2:17, 3:19.
Consider what the Bible says about the Ones living on earth, Isaiah 45:18, God Created the earth to be inhabited, they were to live forever upon earth, Psalms 37:29.
When Adam and Eve rebelled against God, He did not want all mankind d to die and remain in their graves, so God sent Jesus to earth to become a Ransom Sacrifice for all mankind who would believe on him and follow him, John 3:16, 1Peter 2:21.
Since God I’d righteous in every way, He did not want mankind to be ruled by angels, for some of mankind would likely say that they never lived as humans, so how could they fairly rule over men. God determined to allow some to be born of God and taken to heaven as His Adopted sons to rule with Jesus. Agape!!!
Do most people take the time it takes to research all the doctrines in the Bible to make sure they believe the truth, or do they leave searching for the truth up to their Preacher or Priest?
Rothschild,
The Bible is clear about Jesus giving his life so that anyone who believed on him could have everlasting life, John 3:16. At Nohn 10:18, we are told that Jesus was going to give his life for us, that it was not taken from him, but he gave it as freewill, and that he also He had assurance of a resurrection.
Consider what is said at 1Peter 3:18, that Jesus was put to death in the flesh, but was made alive in the spirit. Then it says that in this state(the spirit state) he went and preached to spirits in prison. The Bible also tells us the even though we have known Jesus in the flesh, we know him so no more,2Corinthians 5:16. The Bible tells us that flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God,1Corinthians 15:50, Hebrews 9:15, 23,24, 1Corinthians 15:45-50.
Read Romans 8:5-17, where we are told that the flesh is an enemy of God, and cannot be subject to the law of God.
Jesus was resurrected as a mighty Spirit Creature, because spirit creatures are much more powerful and smarter that flesh and blood people, 2Peter 2:11. Flesh and blood cannot live in heaven!!! Agape!!!
The same body, but glorified.Yes, I agree with all of this, but you seem to be omitting the part after he was put to death and in the tomb and came out, with a fleshly body that was similar, but not the body which he had when he died.
