1st John 3:2

[media=https://youtu.be/YlzXHfSJeRk?si=16ga6DYHws66KnHN]

Paul tells us that we are now children of God and he tells us that we will be like Jesus and when he returns we will see him as he is.

The most popular and accepted teachings is that Jesus is in human form in heaven and in the new heaven and new earth Jesus as well as us too will be in glorified human form. Is that really what Paul is saying when he speaks of glorified bodies?

Paul is telling us God has not revealed to us what we will be like, nor what Jesus is truly like. We don't know, if we already knew he would not have need to say we will see him as he is.

Seeing him as he is, is showing us we have not seen Jesus in his true form. Even in the Old testament he was never revealed in his true form, either in a burning bush or a shadow passing or the form of a man. And some times when an angel appeared to men, men were almost scared to death, and that's an angle.

If you read the entire Bible then you will see that our eternal home will be on the New earth in actual glorified bodies in the great city the New Jerusalem..

So when paul was talking about real eternal physical bodies.. Remember if you read the Bible you will see that Jesus was raised from the dead in a physical body and in that very same body he assended into heaven and as the Bible says he shall return in like manor..

(Acts 1:9-11) "And when he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was taken up; and a cloud received him out of their sight. {10} And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven as he went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel; {11} Which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand ye gazing up into heaven? this same Jesus, which is taken up from you into heaven, shall so come in like manner as ye have seen him go into heaven."
