When we receive our ticket to the resurrection will we be exhumed with the body we expired with or the one that existed during our most prime and fit period?
Apparently this “resurrected” body is as separate a creation as the human body is from an angel’s body or the bodies of little green men. And note, apparently not everyone will be exhumed and receive a new body. Hebrew and Greek scripture supposes the body will be an entirely new creation induced through a belief in Jesus. The resurrection of Jesus commenced the “first fruits of a new creation” not in existence until this point of the evolution of man occurred. Nevertheless, we may appear different then remembered considering Mary mistook the Resurrected Jesus as the gardener at first glance, indicating he did not appear exactly the same as remembered.
- Do beer bellies, saggy breasts, and love handles still exist after the resurrection?
Consider, Doubting Thomas said he wouldn’t take part in the belief of the resurrection until he stuck his fingers in Jesus’ crucifixion wounds, which Jesus encouraged him to do upon appearing in the upper room. If the existence of Jesus’ wounds due to the crucifixion even after being outfitted in his resurrected body are any indication, then this very well may be the case. Your question, in accordance with scripture, may present a good argument for eating right and exercising.

Like my grandmother says, ”Lord only knows . ”
- What will happen to the Health Channels 900 pound man? Will he still be 900 pounds when he is resurrected and will there be a dolly available to move him around? Or perhaps he will be shrunk to a much more manageable size?
It would seem neither nor a need for the dolly, although one may be at your disposal. Consider what Paul says concerning the resurrection,
“What you sow doesn’t come to life unless it dies. When you plant you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or something else. But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed its own body. All flesh is not the same: men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of earthly bodies is another. The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.”
“So it will be at the resurrection. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown in a natural body, it is raised in a spiritual body.”
