The Resurrection

Resurrection
Statement of belief:
There shall be a bodily resurrection of the just and of the unjust; for the former, a resurrection unto life; for the latter, a resurrection unto judgment.

What does the term "bodily resurrection" mean?
I believe it to mean exactly as it sounds but with a supernatural twist. When Jesus was resurrected he was recorded as being in human form but with a new resurrected body. Since Jesus was and is the only instance of this occurrence I must look to his new body as the example. In Luke 24: 36-53 Jesus shows the disciples that he has maintained his physical appearance after the resurrection took place. He could be touched and even eat a meal, yet he had the ability to walk through walls and even ascend into heaven. The Bible tells us that we will be resurrected and our earthly bodies will be transformed in a similar fashion 1 Cor. 15 Romans 8
