No! The Bible teaches us that all of our flesh bodies will decay when we die, and that Old and New Testament saints will have their bodies resurrected and put back together.
For this we say to you by the word of the Lord, that we who are alive and remain until the coming of the Lord will by no means precede those who are asleep. For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.When the resurrection takes place, our bodies we have now will be reconstructed and put back together. The saints who were fed to the lions, or burnt, will also be put back together again.
Then we who are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be with the Lord.
(1 Thess. 4:15-17 NKJV)
Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet.
For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised in corruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
(1 Cor. 15:50-53 NKJV)
You will not have to do without in eternity if you decide to donate body parts now.
