Subject: what will happen to our soul after death |
Bible Note: I was once asked, "What sort of bodies will we have in Heaven ?" My reply was. 1 Corinthians 15:50-54 says, "that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God " All that this verse is telling me is that the body I now have cannot be taken to Heaven, the spiritual kingdom, to participate there, and that I will be given a new body, which will be able to take part there, and for this reason it is referred to as a spiritual body.. The fact that it is referred to as a spiritual body, does not mean that it is not a physical body. I take at face value what God said at. Phl 3:21 who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself." , and also at. Jhn 20:14 Now when she had said this, she turned around and saw Jesus standing there, and did not know that it was Jesus. Jhn 20:15 Jesus said to her, "Woman, why are you weeping? Whom are you seeking?" She, supposing Him to be the gardener, said to Him, "Sir, if You have carried Him away, tell me where You have laid Him, and I will take Him away." Jhn 20:16 Jesus said to her, "Mary!" She turned and said to Him,[fn1] "Rabboni!" (which is to say, Teacher). Jhn 20:19 Then, the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled,[fn3] for fear of the Jews, Jesus came and stood in the midst, and said to them, "Peace be with you." Luk 24:30 Now it came to pass, as He sat at the table with them, that He took bread, blessed and broke it, and gave it to them. Luk 24:31 Then their eyes were opened and they knew Him; and He vanished from their sight. Luk 24:36 Now as they said these things Jesus Himself stood in the midst of them, and said to them, "Peace to you." Luk 24:37 But they were terrified and frightened, and supposed they had seen a spirit. Luk 24:38 And He said to them, "Why are you troubled? And why do doubts arise in your hearts? Luk 24:39 "Behold My hands and My feet, that it is I Myself. Handle Me and see, for a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see I have." Luk 24:41 But while they still did not believe for joy, and marveled, He said to them, "Have you any food here?" Luk 24:42 So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb.[fn7] Luk 24:43 And He took it and ate in their presence. Mar 16:12 After that, He appeared in another form to two of them as they walked and went into the country. Jhn 20:22 And when He had said this, He breathed on them, and said to them, "Receive the Holy Spirit. Because of the above, I believe that when my now regenerated spirit indwells my yet future new resurrection body, that. 1. When my friends meet me for the first time they will not recognize me, but as soon as I speak, they will know it is me. 2. That I will be able to pass through solid matter. 3. That I will be able to disappear, and reappear, at will. 4. That my new body will have flesh and bones. 5. That my new body will have internal organs, stomach, intestines, there will be a need to take in nutriment. 6. That I will be able to appear in another form. 7. That I will have lungs, and be able to breath. Unless of course you feel that these 7 points are for Jesus only, and that my new resurrection body will not in fact be, "like his glorious body", Bless you. Edwin. |
