Or do we stick with them till judgment day?
It’s called the Resurrection:I often forget about the reunion of souls and bodies. And I am sure I can not imagine what a glorified body would look like or feel like. I sure hope I get one though!
Thanks for the link, it is a great site! (off-topic: what does your signature translate to?)
Actually, it’s not entirely off-topic. It means “I came from God, and will return to God.” It’s from the poem that Mahler used for the fourth movement of his “Resurrection” Symphony. I’ve listened to that symphony for over 20 years, but it was not until my conversion that I heard the utter joy in it. (Never mind the fact that Mahler did not believe in the Last Judgement and the Resurrection of the Dead; the truth is in the music.)Thanks for the link, it is a great site!

Some Protestants do believe that they will not be with God until judgement day. OThers believe that the dead either can’t hear or don’t care what is happening to their loved ones on earth. WHen you think about it, It is not a comforting theology for the bereaved.I think this is the problem some of my Protestant friends have with praying to Saints. Whenever I try to explain to them the response is always “But they’re dead, you’re not supposed to pray to dead people” I think Protestants believe your body and soul stay dead until Christ comes again. I don’t think they believe in the particular judgement.
Yes, our souls leave our bodies when we die to be individually judged by God and get our reward which is either heaven, purgatory or damnation…Our souls leave our bodies to face judgement and either purgatory or damnation.
When Jesus comes again our souls will be reunited with our glorified bodies. We believe they will be the bodies we know now, but in glorified (perfect) form.
Read what our early Church fathers had to say on the topic here.
Colloquolly speaking, yes.Oh, so we die, go see God, get judged, then rise again and get judged infront of a whole mess of folks, izzat right?
If you want to keep 50 extra pounds, I’m sure God would oblige.If my resurrected body will be my glorified body, perfect in every way, what happens to this extra fifty pounds? I am guessing purgatory is like a spa?
Some do, some don’t.I think this is the problem some of my Protestant friends have with praying to Saints.
