Could Jesus suffer?
The only way Jesus could have suffered was if he was human. So if Jesus was the human form taken by God for his time on earth, I guess he could have suffered. When the human body died on the cross, the spirit went back to heaven at which point the physical body would have remained behind. Is there any Biblical evidence of what happened to the physical body after it ceased suffering?

In reply to Peg
So when Jesus was seen ascending to heaven, it wasn’t his physical body but just a vision for the benefit of those viewing the event. Wouldn’t those humans viewing from earth automatically assume He had ascended in both body and soul? — I’m assuming that souls cannot normally be seen. Wouldn’t it seem normal for those viewers to report the physical body vanishing into the clouds and subsequent writings would report it that way? How could someone writing about this event conclude that only the soul was present when everyone there clearly saw a body?
I guess my problem is accepting that all those viewing and those subsequently writing about it would report only the soul ascending. Wouldn’t they automatically assume the body went to heaven as well? Since the bible doesn’t account for where the body went, wouldn’t it seen obvious for those present at that time, that it went to heaven and wouldn’t that be reinforced by the fact that no body remained behind?
