1 | Will we know each other in Heaven? | 1 Cor 15:52 | DocTrinsograce | 201685 | ||
Quick correction: In the new heaven and earth we will be in our resurrected bodies. That is, these bodies that we have now will be raised. The bible does not support the idea of "new" bodies. That understanding is the basis for the respectful care rendered to the bodies of the dead in both Jewish and Christian traditions. "The bodies of men after death return to dust, and see corruption; but their souls, which neither die nor sleep, having an immortal subsistence, immediately return to God who gave them. The souls of the righteous being then made perfect in holiness, are received into paradise, where they are with Christ, and behold the face of God in light and glory, waiting for the full redemption of their bodies; and the souls of the wicked are cast into hell; where they remain in torment and utter darkness, reserved to the judgment of the great day; besides these two places, for souls separated from their bodies, the Scripture acknowledgeth none. (Genesis 3:19; Acts 13:36; Ecclesiastes 12:7; Luke 23:43; 2 Corinthians 5:1, 6,8; Philippians 1:23; Hebrews 12:23; Jude 6, 7; 1 Peter 3:19; Luke 16:23, 24)" --1689 London Baptist Confession of Faith, chapter 31, paragraph 1 |

Hi Doc, I'm trying to grasp your post, if I'm reading it correctly, you are saying we will not get new bodies? My limited understanding was that we would be raised (rapture) in our old (current) body and when the rapture occurs we would be trading off our old bodies (the perishable) for new bodies (imperishable). I don't know if that means I will get a whole new body or if God will just change this one I have. I know your current time is short so you may not have time to reply in depth that this topic could involve and if so that is find, I understand having your time taken by other responsibilities. Thanks Brad |

Dear Brad, The final blessing in the order of salvation (ordo salutis) is the redemption of the body. This will mark the conclusion of the interim state, the time between death and resurrection. The spirit is rejoined with the body. The nature of that body is a matter of speculation. Certainly we know it will be like the resurrected body of Christ, who is the first fruits of many brethren. Certainly it will be, as you've pointed out, "incorruptible." The lost are raised from the dead as well. Their resurrected bodies will be able to survive the eternity that they face as well. Read carefully the LBCF statement I quoted in the post that prompted your question. You'll see that the old divines also provided Scripture reference. In Him, Doc |
