Bible Note: Greetings Roaring Lamb! Sorry it took me a little while to respond! I've been very busy! :-) Allow me to touch upon this paragraph of yours: "Significant is the fundamental truth that our entrance into our final reward takes place at our resurrection (1 Thessalonians 4:13-17). Also fundamental, resurrection is from earth to sky (Daniel 12:2; Isaiah 26:19) and not vice versa. Can we agree on these two points? If not, stop here and respond – I need to know my error." Yet, 1 Thess. 4:14 says, "We believe that Jesus died and rose again and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him." So, the dead come with Jesus when He returns. It is only their bodies which come up from the earth. This also answers you last series of questions. The 'person' is not put back into the ground at the resurrection. The body simply is resurrected and the person is reunited with the body. Why? Because man was meant to be both spirit and body, therefore, the two are reunited. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
