Does Jesus still have those nail prints in hands and in His risen body now?

I agree.
Revelation 5:1-10 [NASB]
1 I saw in the right hand of Him who sat on the throne a book written inside and on the back, sealed up with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice, "Who is worthy to open the book and to break its seals?" 3 And no one in heaven or on the earth or under the earth was able to open the book or to look into it. 4 Then I [began] to weep greatly because no one was found worthy to open the book or to look into it; 5 and one of the elders said to me, "Stop weeping; behold, the Lion that is from the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has overcome so as to open the book and its seven seals."
6 And I saw between the throne (with the four living creatures) and the elders a Lamb standing, as if slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God, sent out into all the earth. 7 And He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him who sat on the throne. 8 When He had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one holding a harp and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints. 9 And they sang a new song, saying, "Worthy are You to take the book and to break its seals; for You were slain, and purchased for God with Your blood [men] from every tribe and tongue and people and nation. 10 "You have made them [to be] a kingdom and priests to our God; and they will reign upon the earth."​

We will be, but He will still show off to us for all eternity what he endured for our sake!

Moving on...So, we know Jesus bears in His risen body the marks of the nails in His hands, and of the spear in His side. He cannot lie.

He didn't show them His back, neither does it appear that His face showed any sign of the severe beating He took just three days prior.

Why those marks, and no others? (It does matter.)

Speculative opinion not based on God's revelation. See Revelations 21:4 where the "former things" will have passed away? To claim the scars of this life will be part of the former things that do not pass away is inventive to be kind.

Well, the Bible speaks of his resurrection body bearing the marks of the piercings.
Just because we can't explain why some marks remained but not others does not change the fact that some marks remained but not others.

Only the hands and side, huh?


Oops, what about His feet?

Luke 24:40 "he shewed them his hands and his feet."

Hallelujah!

Calvin's Commentary on this Scripture:

"he continued for a time to bear some remaining marks of the cross"

But it is "foolish and an old wife’s dream, to imagine that he will still continue to bear the marks of the wounds, when he shall come to judge the world."


Yeshua1 of course knows better than his man John Calvin:

John 20:27 [NKJV] 27 Then He said to Thomas, "Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand [here], and put [it] into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing."
  • Jesus had the marks after His resurrection and before His ascension.
Acts of the Apostles 1:9-11 [NKJV] 9 Now when He had spoken these things, while they watched, He was taken up, and a cloud received Him out of their sight. 10 And while they looked steadfastly toward heaven as He went up, behold, two men stood by them in white apparel, 11 who also said, "Men of Galilee, why do you stand gazing up into heaven? This [same] Jesus, who was taken up from you into heaven, will so come in like manner as you saw Him go into heaven."
  • As He left, so He will return.
