This was asked in my other thread. I never thought about it before. What kind of bodies will the damned have? Will their age, physique, wounds be like they had on earth? Will their bodies be different than the bodies of the saved? I have argued much about 1 Corinthians 15 where some think...

At the resurrection we will receive glorified bodies. So what age will they be?

The consensus is that God can not be improved, he is perfect, always has been before creation. The consensus is that the Son of God existed in the form/body of spirit before creation. How is it not obvious that the Son of God now in heaven is in the same form that he was in before creation...

If Jesus walked on water, why wasn't the ground he walked on hallowed? In the OT when God appeared to man, he demanded respect and to be worshiped. Exodus 3:5 “Do not come any closer,” God said. “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy ground.” Most call these OT...

I thought this was understood, but I guess it is debated. Do those in heaven, those in the spiritual realm, have spiritual bodies? Is there such a thing? I am not talking about a human having a spirit. I am talking about the nonphysical spirits having a body purely in the spiritual realm. Two...

Some Protestants think the veneration of Mary with statues as being idolatry. I say what about images of Jesus, that Protestants have everywhere? Isn't a statue of Jesus an idol according to OT law? Exodus 20:4 “You shall not make for yourself an image in the form of anything in heaven above or...

Do you think it possible for God to change any facet of himself such that some time later, than the beginning, he has improved any part of himself? Scripture of course says the Son of God was made lower, so we can't doubt that God could "descend to a lower level" temporarily. And if he was...

In another thread one said that the Son of God always had a physical body. That at creation, we were made in the likeness of God and since we have physical bodies, that means the Son of God had a physical body when he created us in his image. What do you think?

This question came up in another thread. I don't think it important to believe that Jesus has a physical body in heaven so maybe someone that does think it important can explain why it is important.

The words "I am" has a special meaning in scripture. It is a name given for God to Moses. It means God is eternal. In John 8 Jesus talks about who he is, as the Jews were asking him. 53 Are you greater than our father Abraham? He died, and so did the prophets. Who do you think you are?”...

Does the understanding of the Trinity hold that Jesus has a body of flesh in heaven today? This thread is not about the question does Jesus have a body of flesh in heaven today. It is only about whether it is an essential aspect of the Trinity belief which is the SOF to post here. Again, I am...

Pretty simple question that I don't have much to add to it. Does the Nicene Creed teach Jesus has a body of flesh in heaven today? This thread is not about the question does Jesus have a body of flesh in heaven today. It is only about whether it is taught in the Nicene Creed which is the SOF...

God is spirit, John 4:24. Angels are ministering spirits, Hebrews 1:14. Men are created of the dust of the earth, Genesis 2:7. So, at creation did angels or men have bodies that were closer to God's form at creation? Please no word games with ghosts not having bodies. Scripture has plenty...

There are places where God appeared to men in the OT. God even ate. It seems that God took on a fully physical human body. It is widely thought that it was the Son of God, aka Jesus, that was the person of the Trinity that appeared. So, when "Jesus" went back to heaven after these visits...

People might think that if God loves sinners, he can love the tempter of sin. What God loves and rejoices in heaven is when the sinner comes back to God, repents of their sin and desires to try and sin not. Satan never desires to do what God desires. He is the father of lies. Luke 15: 10...

Many like to ponder God's love and it is great. But, does it extend to angels? Two texts prompt this question. John 15:13 Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. Hebrews 2:5 It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are...

What do you think of when you think of Christmas? I just thought of this one. Christmas is God coming to us because we can not come to him. Hebrews 2:9 But we do see Jesus, who was made lower than the angels for a little while, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so...

Basically, what bearing does doctrine, or church service that you attend have on your position in heaven? I see none listed in scripture. I also don't anticipate a doctrine test to get in. Some people promote their church as true or better than another. I just want to challenge them to...

This seems like such a simple question and I think we would all say yes. BUT, a big but. The Church is not each person's church. It is easy to say the Holy Spirit works in the church each has chosen or been born into, but what about the church you disagree with? The Church is the...

Four questions, four answers; then is there something common to all four? 1) Did God institute the office of High Priests? Yes, so clear from scripture. Exodus 28:1 “Have Aaron your brother brought to you from among the Israelites, along with his sons Nadab and Abihu, Eleazar and Ithamar, so...
