 At least he disavows any "flesh and blood" resurrection

Do you believe that Paul does not teach "physicalresurrection"?
I understand that the resurrection of Christ was not exactly
physical in nature. According to gospel reports, 
he could appear in bodily form to the disciples,
but he was not under physical constraints of normal bodies.
He could pass through walls, and could become invisible.  So I
think that he was like angels. But  I am not sure if 1 Cor 15:50
"flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the
perishable inherit the imperishable" can be taken to mean that 
the resurrection of Christ was not physical. Could you tell me
why do you think so (at least this is how I understand your message)?

Sincerely
