Hi Nathan and thank you,
There is is one Christ the only begotten of God, and He has cleansed me from all sin by the washing of regeneration and renewal. I know what you mean when you say that no one can answer everything in the scriptures. For the most part I support all your arguments from scripture. So I am to sure how to answer your question on bodies and yoke. JESUS ASCENDED AS DID ELIJAH IN BODILY FORM. Davids is still in the tomb as is Moses. On the last day those who are alive will be raised in the twinlkling of an eye, seemingly bods and all. Bodies said Paul, their are earthly and heavenly bodies. Flesh and blood will not inherit the kingdom of God. Will they be transformed? Perhaps you can tell me because I'm not sure. But remember with God all things are possible. I've seen many hold opposing views on the nature of the ascended body. The flesh is often spoken of as depraved in the context of the Law. The FLESH as opposed to the Spirit the Way of Christ.
The Good news as spelled out so briefly yet also spiritually concise, by Paul in Romans . The gospel IS THE POWER unto salvation to everyone who believes.... For in it the RIGHTEOUSNESS OF GOD REVEALED... I,m sure you can see that I know the Good News. This living truth set me free. If I have a demon then help me to cast it out if a leper the like Christ in Matthew enter my house then cleanse me.

May Our God and Savior Jesus Christ Bless you also
