We were created an integral being, but death is disintegration. The body is wrenched from the soul so that we are divided and diminished beings. This is how terrible death is, the destructive result of sin. God has mercy in receiving our spirits into his presence, but the real goal/point/destiny of Christians is not entrance into paradise, but it is a resurrected body reunited with the disconnected spirit. We will then be a complete being again, ready for kingdom work that is not possible in spirit form only. <BR/><BR/>In my view, much of Christianity needs to see Christ's resurrection as superior to his death, even as important as his death is. We will then view ours the same.Steve Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10297044571819912511noreply@blogger.com
