Resurrected with Wounds
According to the Scriptures, Christians will be resurrected like Jesus who is the first fruits. According to the Gospels of Luke and John, Jesus returned from the dead bearing his mortal wounds.
Does this mean that Christians who die of injury will return with ghastly open wounds also? |

It'll be like George Romero making a zombie flick for Focus on the Family!

And what is wrong with that? Are you saying that lack of flesh or gapping wounds make for a bad person? Sounds like some kind of bigotry towards "the life challenged"... Why can't we reject this bigotry towards open wounds? Why can't we all just get along?

I understand where you are coming from. But it doesn't seem fair to all those aborted Christian babies that they will return as fetuses bearing the marks of their slaughter. |

Yes, they will. And what is wrong with that? Wouldn't there be some benefits from having a head that is separate from the body? Don't tell me you haven't thought about it!

That sounds like "de-fetus" talk to me! Let's be more positive! There may be advantages in that also.

Bits and Pieces
Okay, I agree that was a heads up answer regarding decapitation. But what about the people who get blown up into ten thousand pieces, like the hundreds of thousands of people in Iraq who have been killed by exploding bombs. Does each piece come back separately. Do they have to fit themselves together like a jigsaw puzzle?
And lets not forget the poor people of Nakasaki and Hiroshima who were vaporized by atomic bombs. Do they come back as water vapor? Warmly, Philosopher Jay |
