The Bible speaks of, or effectively, your born with a natural body and raised a spiritual body -> it is still talking about the same body.

On the contrary, only spirit persons have spiritual bodies. Paul raised and then answered the question as to how the ''holy ones'' to whom he addressed his letter were to be ''raised up'', from death. -(1 Cor 1:2).

(1 Corinthians 15:35, 36) Nevertheless, someone will say: “How are the dead to be raised up? Yes, with what sort of body are they coming?”  You unreasonable person! What you sow is not made alive unless first it dies.

(1 Corinthians 15:40) And there are heavenly bodies and earthly bodies; but the glory of the heavenly bodies is one sort, and that of the earthly bodies is a different sort.

While angels have appeared with ''earthly bodies'', on rare occasions they have been seen in their ''heavenly (spiritual) bodies''.

(Matthew 28:2-4) And look! a great earthquake had taken place, for Jehovah’s angel had descended from heaven and had come and rolled away the stone, and he was sitting on it.His appearance was like lightning, and his clothing was as white as snow.  Yes, out of their fear of him, the watchmen trembled and became as dead men.

This is similar to Jesus' appearance at his transfiguration.
(Matthew 17:2) And he was transfigured before them; his face shone as the sun, and his outer garments became brilliant as the light.

This is similar to Jesus' appearance at his transfiguration (as in the glory of a heavenly body while still in his earthy body).
(Matthew 17:2) And he was transfigured before them; his face shone as the sun, and his outer garments became brilliant as the light.

Well MrG,
this kind of reinforces wotsup's view that it (the Bible) is still talking about the same body but he (wotsup) still needs to dream up a Biblically-based reason to explain the glory of the heavenly bodies is one sort, and that of the earthly bodies is a different sort.

This just demonstrates that nobody has a first clue as to what heavenly bodies and earthly bodies are.
