A very interesting inconsistency

Well that's the rule isn't it? If Christ's glorified body had marks of his crucifixion then what is there to indicate that he will not bear them for all eternity? (BTW, just where is that body physically?)

Yet the church leads one to believe that a glorified body will be restored to its perfect form and the resurrected beings will appear as if in the prime of their lives! But, that perfection and "prime" will be for naught, since we will be like angels...if you know what I mean, and vanity will have no part in our existence whatsoever. And aren't angels bodiless creatures...so there is nothing but inconsistency to be found, conveniently, as you say.

That’s why I think we can’t make a pronouncement one way or another. Nowhere does it state Christ will wear the marks of His crucifixion for all eternity. At the end of the world, there would be no need to wear them anymore. It will have all been resolved and the sheep will have been separated from the goats. All is perfection in heaven. Still, He may choose to wear them. I don’t know. No one does.

My point was that the poster was making a proclamation based on inferences in a few passages. Yet he often takes Catholics to task for inferences based on 20-30 passages. That’s inconsistent, don’t you think?
