The 2 Corinthians passage is perplexing to me.

I don't know what Paul is speaking of here, but the idea that it is some type of "temporay" body seems to be discounted by verse 1. Whatever this is that we are to "clothed with" the text tells us that it is "...a building from God, a house not made with hands, ETERNAL in the heavens..."

Can something eternal also be temporal?

I think that Paul is refering to our new (or resurrected) spiritual bodies as we read of in 1 Corinthians 15:35-49.
