That would require walking to the market and it's dark outside.

Reps: 2,494 (power: 0) | | | The doctrine of the resurrection of the flesh sounds rather redundant to me anyway.Our souls enter heaven at the moment of death to be judged by Christ or given eternal happiness only to be re-united with our fleshly bodies in the Second Coming to be judged again?

Peace.
why get so tied up between "who we are" and "our bodies". Lets imagine that you want some wine, and so go out and buy a bottle. from time to time, you uncork it and pour it into a new bottle, but sadly, because of exposure to the air, the wine slowly becomes spoiled. Suddenly, someone comes up with a method of making the spoiled wine as good as new, but you realise to your horror, that you no longer have the original bottle. perhaps it has been smashed, recycled into other wine bottles that other people keep their wine in, or maybe some of it is now in windows or glasses, or just buried underground. but does it really matter? does restoration of the wine, really need the original bottle? does it need a bottle at all? you could put it in a carton, or a jug or any other container you like.

What do you mean by "hardcore"? When I think of hardcore I think of hardball as compared to softball. But you may mean something different than that. |

The body is only the vessel of the soul.

Doesn't seem like Jesus was affected by them when he was resurrected (so whether he did or didn't have them after his resurrection isn't known)... but even if people do have them when they are resurrected how would it effect them if they had a perfect body? | | |
