Hunter, forgive my limited choice of words. I guess we could use a form of energy or frequency just as well. I was just trying to show that there was more likely a difference between the two bodies of Jesus.
Also, I don't really think that Jesus would have used the body of a gardener to show Himself. But I know some may present that idea...not in a reincarnation type of way, but just as the Spirit may go where it chooses.
After all Jesus was God and He can do or appear anyway He wants. The scriptures just don't go into enough detail to explain. And to be truthful...its ok that it doesn't, because that means we rely more on faith than Science to try and understand these things. Even though at times it can be fun to speculate, we may need to stick to what we do know to be more correct, as its recorded in the bible.
Perhaps we can add scripture as we search and that will give more "body" to the conversation. ;)
