According to the scriptures Jesus is in a glorified state, His flesh is incorruptible...so I don't think it would be reincarnation from a biblical standpoint or my perspective. The account in the Bible says He will return in the same way He left, so I think that indicates Personally, rather than as a spirit of truth. I believe that Melchizedek in the scriptures is a picture of the eternal nature of Christ because it states that he was...without father, without mother, without genealogy, having neither beginning of days nor end of life, but made like the Son of God (Hebrews 7:3).If Jesus comes again in the flesh, is that not reincarnation? And did he claim he would come as Jesus again, or did he claim to come as the Spirit of Truth? if he was before abraham, was he not the personality melchizedek then?

Just my thoughts and what I see in the scriptures.
The resurrection is all about the redemption of our mortal bodies into a glorified, eternal state and victory over death...which Christ accomplished first and for us...jesus also said the flesh counts for nothing; so then why is important that the flesh be incorruptible? where does it say this?

... in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” 1 Cor. 15:52-54
I'll try to get back to this later. I have to go now. Have a good evening.created things are mortal. jesus said unless you are born of spirit and water, you can in no wise inherit the kingdom of god. this comes from genesis 1:2. the spirit is eternal and gives birth to spirit. flesh gives birth to flesh. no one can go up to heaven except that one that came down from heaven. so then if the flesh didn't come down from heaven how can it arise?
In the same way the saints came forth from their tombs; his spiritual understanding manifests through people living and being born everyday.
Daniel 12:2
And the multitude of those sleeping in the dust of the ground do awake, some to life age-during, and some to reproaches -- to abhorrence age-during.
The spirit of Cain for example, manifests itself the world-over.
Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean.
Thanks to John the Baptist, for making the way straight. -- Sometimes all you need is a little inspiration, to evolve. It was never about the water (a Christian legality for some).
Matthew 3:9
And do not think to say in yourselves, A father we have -- Abraham, for I say to you, that God is able out of these stones to raise children to Abraham.
so john was washing the outside of the cups vs jesus was washing the inside of the cups?
If Jesus comes again in the flesh, is that not reincarnation? And did he claim he would come as Jesus again, or did he claim to come as the Spirit of Truth? if he was before abraham, was he not the personality melchizedek then?
Jesus is in the spirit, but the spirit is invisible. When he returns there will be visible manifestation "For as lightning that comes from the east is visible even in the west, so will be the coming of the Son of Man." Mat 24:27.When Jesus returns, Jesus will not be of flesh and blood. But in the Spirit

Jesus' Second Coming
Jesus had both bones and flesh. Right, please?
He was not just a spirit, like every other human being he had a physical body and a soul. His teachings were from G-d and he followed them whole-heartedly and in this sense he was with G-d and from G-d like any other Jewish or non-Jewish prophet-messenger of G-d.
Jesus' Second Coming, I believe, has already taken place in the spiritual or attributive/symbolic form of Mirza Ghulam Ahmad 1835-1908, it is not a reincarnation.
Does it help, please?

One has a right to express one's opinion, please.Jesus is God himself, in the body of flesh and blood.
