Bible Question: My long-saved brother-in-law and I, a over-zealous new-believer had a conversation where he told me that since Christ was man, and rose from the dead, and that now since Christ is in heaven, there exists man, with flesh and blood in heaven. This concerns me, since I disagree. Please help. |
Bible Answer: My question is, why would it concern you? For example, it used to concern me that Christ rose bodily from the earth into the heavens, even though I "knew" that heaven was just a state of being all around the space-time continuum. If we have to understand everything, we will be double-minded. Don't get me wrong, there is nothing wrong in establishing truth, as long as the criteria is founded upon the Word and not the philosophy of man which changes with the wind. I also believe that Christ Jesus is flesh and blood in heaven at this momment in time. Certainly the creator of heavens and earth can sustain the body which is resurrected, or is this not what you had in mind? |
