“We know from Scripture as well, that Jesus will forever exist in a glorified bodily form complete with the nail scars on his hands and feet.”

We know from Scripture that He appeared to the Apostles after rising from the dead and had the holes in his hands. He told Thomas to feel them. But where in Scripture does it tell you that Christ will forever exist with the nail scars, even in his glorified body?

Well we see that from Luke 24:39-40, Jesus was in his glorified body in that he appeared suddenly to them. He was obviously not looking the same as he was before the crucifixion because earlier in that chapter he appeared to some including Peter, and they did not recognize him. He showed them his hands and feet. He was afterwards lifted up into heaven in this same form. Also in John 20:20 he showed his hands, feet and side. Thomas was not there then so he appeared again to them including Thomas, eight days later. Same demonstration verses 26-27.

See Zechariah 12:10 for a WOW verse. "They shall look upon me whom they have pierced." There is another verse where Jehovah says ,"See, I have engraved you upon the palms of my hands." So yes, I believe these scars will always be there as a reminder to us. Praise be to him!
