““What God has joined, let no man put asunder.”” … then why would God put something asunder that He has joined?"
You answered it yourself…Jesus had a “glorified” body. Just think how stupid it would be for God to make your life in Heaven include taking a bathroom break!

After Judgement Day, the souls that make it to heaven will have glorified bodies.
Sometimes, a thread is just a thread.I think somebody’s stuck in the Freudian anal stage.
This thread exists & continues because some people don’t listen to a common sense answer…and others enjoy the silly remarks!I don’t know which is harder to believe: That this thread exists? OR That it has made it through four pages of conversation?

I’m here for both reasons.
There’s a doctoral dissertation waiting to be written. The A&P had good coffee…too bad they’re out of business.
I confess I am also.I’m here for both reasons.
It’s true.In all seriousness, though, I don’t discount it as a theological question. If we look behind the scatological trappings of the original question, it is really a question about how our glorified bodies will be different from our current bodies. That’s not a question we can necessarily answer with certainty, but I think it is interesting to think about as it speaks to our ultimate destiny.
Scatological Eschatology.
If Jesus could walk through a door in His resurrected Human body…why couldn’t the food He ate be absorbed without having to eliminate waste? Same with us in heaven.I confess I am also.
It’s true.
I think it is a very interesting question because it necessarily raises the question about the value of the functions of our human body. I mean, I will admit, I got a couple of good laughs from this thread, but the implications of the question and the possible answer/s have theological importance.
If people cannot handle the topic, well, there are plenty of other threads. But, for those who find the theological question interesting and have the maturity to enjoy some smiles along the way in the discussion - join in.
What I consider is the fact that Our Lord Jesus after walking through the door without a problem, allowed the Apostles to touch Him and He ate fish with them. This He did to demonstrate to them that He was not a ghost but was indeed resurrected in His HUMAN body. The point the apostles wondered was important and Our Lord appreciated the question and took the time to demonstrate to them that He could be touched and He could eat. So, it was a HUMAN BODY that was resurrected.
Why is it important to demonstrated and prove that it was a human body that was resurrected?
Exactly my thought. I could not have said it better.I know it can seem like a silly question, but I think it is sort of an interesting theological thing to ponder.
Of course, ultimately we do not know. However, as our lower bodily functions are tied to waste removal, I imagine our glorified bodies will work perfectly and thus be able to use everything that we eat without producing waste. That’s somewhat similar to newborns who are exclusively breastfed. They can go a long time without a bowel movement simply because there is very little waste in what they are consuming.
