Filed Under: Discipleship 5 Comments. Comments Mike Popp says:. How would all the dispersed bits of people get back together? For example, Robert Boyle, the father of modern chemistry , worried about bodies that were eaten by animals, fish or cannibals. At least a tiny bit of us, Boyle suggested, will be able to be retrieved from the bodies of animals, sharks, or cannibals — enough for God to work with.
Moreover, his own chemical experiments on the long-lasting texture of bones assured him they would still be around on resurrection day. Vast amounts of theological ink were spilt on the attempt to defend what, at the end of the day, was really rationally indefensible. It is no surprise that, as the feasibility of the miraculous disappeared in the 18th century, so rational defences of the resurrection of the physical body disappeared from intellectual history.
They were buried in a forgotten and unmarked theological grave. These days, at least to more liberal Christians, the resurrection of the body remains a matter of faith rather than reason. It is pretty much ignored. The afterlife in general tends to be thought of as the survival of a spirit immediately after death or even only as a brief period of time in the memories of those still alive.

His ascent to heaven later proves that, though he remains in a human body, he can see and interact with spiritual beings in the heavenly realm. His body can see both visible and invisible realities. We will receive the same kind of body. While we now live in hope and faith, at the resurrection we will see truly—our hope and faith will become sight. This spiritual sight will mean that as we can see physical realities today, then we will see spiritual realities with as much clarity—not least of which will be seeing God Rev The Apostle Paul confirms these observations in 1 Corinthians It is sown a natural body ; it is raised a spiritual body.
If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. But it is not the spiritual that is first but the natural , and then the spiritual.
The first man was from the earth , a man of dust; the second man is from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are of the dust, and as is the man of heaven , so also are those who are of heaven. Just as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the man of heaven.
We receive spiritual life by becoming spiritual in Christ. The consequence is that we bear the image of the man from heaven.
