Ok. It also doesn't say anywhere that his spirit left his body. So, how is your belief more valid than mine?
Lu 23:46"And when Jesus had cried with a loud voice, he said, Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit: and having said thus, he gave up the ghost (his spirit)"
Thus the bible does say that Jesus' spirit left his body. It was at this point that Jesus descended down into hell to preach to those in captivity (in Abraham's Bosom). Of course no flesh can go there.
Please define a "sinless" and "perfect" body for me. Mormons do not believe that God's body and our body are the same in any respect other than that they appear the same and they are both tangible. Obviously the biology is different since they are immortal and perfect. Forget the biology. That is not where the differences lie.
Sexual actvity is the result of sin. So what i mean is that these sinless and perfect bodies are free of any sin. God gave angels a glorfied body, a sinless body. When Jesus is asked a question relating to marriage in heaven he says:
Mt 22:30 -For in the resurrection they (mankind) neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.
We shall be as Angels. Angels in heaven do not marry, they do not have sex. When some of the angels did have sex (with women) they were cast out of heaven into tartarus (a place in Hell) (Jude 1:6).
God holds angels to standards, no marriage, no sex. For you to say that God, in a body, had sex with Mary is therefore contradcitory saying that God allows himself to sin while not allowing us to sin (espcially when God and Mary were not married:no: ).
Yes i do believe that glorified bodies are tangible, able to become flesh and at another time to be a spirit, and at another time to be in its natural state. I do not beleive however that these bodies are allowed to engage in sexual actvity. The result would be to fall from heaven, as did many of the angels.
