1 | Perfected bodies | Rev 20:15 | skccab | 198841 | ||
Shalom y'all, I've just finished reading the end of Isaiah and a thought occurred to me that has never entered my mind before, so I thought I'd run by you folks. I know that we, as believers are promised healing (though not necessarily here in this life). I also believe that with that healing we will have perfected bodies (at the resurrection and in the world to come). My question is this: will unbelievers have "fixed" bodies to take into their judgment? Or will they go into eternity as they were when they died, toothless, blind, deaf, one armed or one legged, paraplegic, etc.? I can't think of any scripture that focuses on that aspect concerning unbelievers. Does anyone else know? My thinking is that they will not receive perfected bodies (since that is a part of the work of the Cross), but I was just wondering.... Thanks :-) Cheri |

Greetings Cheri - check out Rev 21:5 - God says that He is making all things new (not all new things). This comes after those whose names are not found in the book of life are thrown into the lake of fire - the second death - eternal separation from God. Also from Jesus teaching on sin in Mt 18:8 "If your hand or your foot causes you to stumble, cut it off and throw it from you; it is better for you to enter life crippled or lame, than to have two hands or two feet and be cast into the eternal fire." It appears that unbeliever's bodies are "fixed." The "impaired" believer has the promised hope of restoration! I hope this helps. Blessings, mommapbs |

Shalom mommapbs, I knew the believers' bodies will all be made perfect, but had not remembered the passage in Revelation. Thank you. It was just something that hit me and made me wonder about it. That passage though in Rev. does come after the "great white throne judgment," so does it apply? Cheri |

Cheri - another thing that struck me was the passage in Genesis after the fall of man. See Gen 3:22-24. Man, spoiled by sin, was not to live forever. . . but if anyone is IN CHRIST - he/she is a "new creature!" 2 Cor 5:17 mommapbs |

Shalom again So I guess we're safe with the idea that the unbelievers will remain in eternity as in life. It was just something that struck me, and even though I had an idea of the answer, I wanted people more "in the know" to help me out with it :-). Thank you so much for your imput Cheri |

Hi Cheri - the important thing is that we are IN Christ, no one is really more "in the know" than that! With Jesus' love - mommapbs | ||||||

Hi Trish, There you go!! :-) I just meant those who know the Bible better 'n me. I know alot of times that something is there but don't have the first idea where it is. And of course, those times always come just when there is no time to look!! I love this forum, it's so full of Godly, Spirit-filled folks, and it's lively. I thank God He put it in someone's heart at Lockman Foundation to host such a forum. Cheri |
