If you enter the kingdom of Heaven, at the spiritual level, here and now, and remain in the kingdom of Heaven until the last day (your last day) your body will be transformed/resurrected/glorified on the last day (the day you “die”)
So the glorification would have been applied outside of time by Christs redemption?
Well, yeah.So the glorification would have been applied outside of time by Christs redemption?
Whats your thoughts on body and soul assumed with Mary and glorification. What I’m saying, if we are to agree on all this and a singular act of grace at the IC. Then certainly God knew the ending also. As I read the Assumption, “completely overcame sin by her IC, and as a result she was not subject to the law of remaining in the corruption of the grave, and, she did not have to wait until the end of time for the redemption of her body”
She was allowed not to lose her human body, and was soared the earthworms and the decomposition, etc.
Yes, time doesn’t matter for the application of Grace. It is also the main reason for the Immaculate conception, as Jesus’ grace operated on her mother in a special way, as she was indeed the new arch (this couldn’t get more literal!) but before God the Son was incarnated (IN TIME).So the glorification would have been applied outside of time by Christs redemption?
When we die, the soul separates from the body and goes to Heaven, Purgatory or Hell immediately. At the end of the world when Jesus comes again, our bodies, the same ones we have here on earth, will be resurrected and will go wherever our soul is. We already know the body doesn’t go immediately to it’s final destination or we wouldn’t have to have funerals. God Bless, Memaw
Yes, I think that was quite comprehensive, for those who see the kingdom of GodPNEUMA;12111981:
I agree.
“Listen, I’m telling you a secret: All of us won’t die, but we will all be changed— in an instant, in the blink of an eye, at the final trumpet.”(1 Corinthians 15:51)
Beautiful, we believe this in our heart, the rest will come easier.
I’m not sure I understand your theory here. If your theory holds true, then immediately after the ‘Particular Judgement’, the soul is reunited to the body in the ‘General Judgement’, when all of humanity is to be judged, and the body is either rewarded with the soul or punished with the soul. Now, the major problem with this theory is how the saints intercede for us on earth if everyone gets their body back immediately after death, because with your view, it seems that after we die, everyone who is destined to heaven should already be there, past, present and future. The body cannot be restored and glorified until the ‘General Judgement.’
I’m pretty sure Jesus was trying to show Himself in glory, in order to give the 3 (I think it was only 3 of the apostles that accompanied him), the courage to endure the trials ahead, AS WELL as showing them how their bodies would conform to his.
Again, my issue with this kind of instantaneous theory is the question of how the Communion of Saints operates, if everyone who was going to Heaven was already there.
