AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 8:23 And not only this, but we too, who have the first fruits of the Spirit [a joyful indication of the blessings to come], even we groan inwardly, as we wait eagerly for [the sign of] our adoption as sons--the redemption and transformation of our body [at the resurrection].

Bible Question:
Will believers be able to come and go from earth in their resurrection bodies during Christ's earthly millinium reign? Will we have children during the millinium? |
Bible Answer: Hi, pboyd... Welcome to the forum! The teaching believers will have "new" bodies is a false one, taught by a variety of false teachers in the last few decades. The Scripture teaches the following: "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) In Him, Doc |
