Apparently, in his resurrection body, the LORD is breathing:

 

John 20:22 And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:

 

This was similar to when he made Adam:

 

Genesis 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.

 

The LORD was apparently breathing then, as well.

This is also seen in:

 

Psalm 33:6 By the word of the LORD were the heavens made; and all the host of them by the breath of his mouth.

 

or also:

 

Job 33:4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

 

Of course, one can make the argument that these are anthropomorphic metaphors, and maybe that is so.

However, Jesus, in his resurrected body breathed.

Does Jesus require breath in his resurrected body, as he did in his body before he died on the cross?

Before the crucifixion, when Jesus spoke, his breath vibrated his vocal chords, since he was a real man.

Now, in his resurrection body, when he speaks, is it still by breath vibrating vocal chords?

I see no reason that it wouldn’t, but does he require to?

When we are resurrected at the blessed hope, will we be breathing?

If so, we won’t need to, will we?

If we, in our resurrected body, hold our breath for a full day, it won’t kill us, as we’ll be resurrected, right?

In heaven, to speak and to sing, is it by breath vibrating vocal chords, or is it something totally different?

 

In another thought, we now, have tainted blood, because of sin.

 

Leviticus 17:11 For the life of the flesh is in the blood: and I have given it to you upon the altar to make an atonement for your souls: for it is the blood that maketh an atonement for the soul.

 

So in our corrupt flesh, the blood is corrupt, and continuously requires oxygen to replenish or to maintain that life.

How was it different before Adam fell?

In our resurrection bodies, we won’t have blood, correct?

 

I Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

 

However the resurrection body does have flesh and bones:

 

Luke 24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.

 

Now, before the resurrection, we have to breathe, to replenish oxygen in our blood, so that we don’t die by asphyxiation.

Then, in the resurrection, that won’t be necessary, however, will we breathe to speak?

 

The LORD breathed into Adam giving him life.

Jesus breathed on the disciples saying, “Receive ye the Holy Ghost”.

That seems similar and it also seems different.

Why is it similar & why is it different?

 

Also, some say that the disciples didn’t receive the Holy Ghost until Pentecost.

So was Jesus incorrect in what he was speaking?  (of course that is not the case)

Was Jesus merely speaking prophetically of Pentecost which was to come later?

Was Jesus only speaking metaphorically and symbolically?

Or did they actually receive the Holy Ghost then, and then later were filled with the Holy Ghost on Pentecost.

When we are saved, we receive the Holy Ghost, but we are continually admonished to be filled by the Holy Ghost.

In Acts 1, Jesus said that they were soon to be baptized with the Holy Ghost & Acts 2:4 said that they were filled.

So is it possible that they received the Holy Ghost when Jesus breathed on them and said, “Receive ye the Holy Ghost”?
