If I understand you correctly, I think that the response would be that all things are possible with God. He somehow manages to resurrect our bodies regardless of the effects of death.

Interesting that some find the concept of the resurrection of the physical body to seem primitive, as I have always thought the concept indicated an advancement over our present primitive, ignorant and helpless condition.
To use a simile from our present time and present stage of development, I have here a DVD, in an instant, at the touch of a button, it 'brings to life' again words and actions preformed far in the past. Recently, there was an abduction of a young girl caught by a video camera at a car wash, the perpetrator had thought his act unobserved, but he was apprehended and convicted on the basis of something that could 'look into the past' and make his crime evident to all. We take our various recording devices into primitive societies and make audio and visual records of their activities, and they are unaware that their words and actions will be on display to the whole world indefinitely. But these are only crude and primitive mechanical devices dreamed up and fabricated by men of this last generation, and more and better are sure to come. Now take the concept of The Eternal, which has foreknowledge of all things, all knowledge that will ever exist, and has an unlimited power to accomplish all things, What do you think His version of a 'DVD player' might be capable of? |
