Bible Note: I’m not certain this would be accurate or fair. Even it it were accurate, and I do not believe that it is, as that does not match my experience, truth is not proven by counting heads of how many teach it. While I am not actually certain what you mean by a “replacement body”, since I did not use those words, but actually said things like, “While we will be resurrected in our own bodies,” and “They will be re-made for life in the eternal realm,” the Scripture says our bodies will be "changed. Its like Paul's example of the seed that grows into a plant. The plant that grows is not the seed that was put into the ground, although it came from that seed. Concerning having put of the earthly body, certainly you are not suggesting that those that have died in Christ are lying there in their corpses. That’s not a question, I know that is not what you mean. But equally so, the resurrection hasn’t happened yet. Are you suggesting that this is not something that I see for myself in Scripture, and that I am simply parroting what I have heard in church? I find that the research that needs to be done is to find what the Scripture says. I would simply counter that this teaching comes straight from Scripture, of which I referrence in my post. But if you disagree with my interpretation of Scripture, perhaps you might demonstrate how those Scriptures actually mean something else, other than what I am saying, using arguments that come from the text, instead of simply speaking against the source.
