I don't know. Maybe it didn't even leave ashes.
Maybe the original body of Jesus was 'destroyed'. Those people who saw 'Jesus' after his death, saw a 'resurrected' form of his body. All the wounds were gone. Isn't that true?
That 'form' is also the form that was able to rise up to heaven. Maybe this was because it really wasn't a physical body anymore, but the 'appearance' of form, generated by the unique 'power' that Christ/God had/used. According to the Bible, many heavenly creatures are able to give the 'appearance' of a human body, yet they are not physical creatures, they are spiritual ones. Angels, for instance.
No. Thomas didn't think it was Jesus until He showed Thomas His wounds.
John 20: 24-28
24Now Thomas (called Didymus), one of the Twelve, was not with the disciples when Jesus came. 25So the other disciples told him, "We have seen the Lord!"
But he said to them, "Unless I see the nail marks in his hands and put my finger where the nails were, and put my hand into his side, I will not believe it."
26A week later his disciples were in the house again, and Thomas was with them. Though the doors were locked, Jesus came and stood among them and said, "Peace be with you!" 27Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here; see my hands. Reach out your hand and put it into my side. Stop doubting and believe."
28Thomas said to him, "My Lord and my God!"
Hey I like your style.
(per other posts back at me)
I am not into the whole debate untill you scream 5,000 posts later either.
Just some friendly exchanges (with a side of satire).
Back to the no signs of wounds.
IIRC he did have one large wound visible when he met the two disiples on the road and they did not reconize him, he was in full body mode and showed them one of or the mortal heart spearing.
I will go google that, Bible is nearby but my glasses are not.
