The Godhead – Jesus Christ

The prints of nails in the hands and feet of the resurrected body of
Jesus are only temporary |

Mormons
teach that one day the prints of nails in the hands and feet of the body with
which Jesus was raised from the dead are only temporary. Here is what we read
in the Encyclopedia of Mormonism
(New York-Toronto 1992, vol. 2, page 734): ‘In his resurrected state, Jesus
retained the prints of nails in his hands and feet as a special manifestation
to the world. Such marks, however, are only temporary. After all have
confessed that he is the Christ, his resurrected body, will, like those of
all mankind, be restored to its ‘proper and perfect frame’ (Alma 40:23) |

The body
with which Jesus was raised from the dead was (and still is) immortal,
glorious and incorruptible, and thus it does not need to be restored to ‘its
proper and perfect frame’ as the Mormons say. The fact that the prints of
nails were in the hands and feet of His resurrected body when He appeared to
His disciples indicates that they will remain in this glorious body forever.
