We do not “develop” physically, we are perfected.

Agreed 🙂
What you seem to think is that to be perfect involves exiting the physical realm.

No I do to think or believe this, nor have I stated as such dear friend. In comparison to the Perfect One (God) we are never perfect, even in our spiritual condition.

To imply that we will become perfect in the new Jerusalem will create a creation full of Gods. Is this a polytheistic religion?
That is a Manichaean idea. The Judeo-Christian teaching has always been that humans are physical and spiritual, not physical to become spiritual.

Physical to become spiritual is clearly emphasised by Paul:

*"…it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body." * 1. Cor 15:44

“Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord” 2 Cor 5:6
God’s perfect image became man in Christ. Human perfection and communion with God does not mean an abandonment of the physical. Our resurrection will be a bodily one. The Creeds assert this.

Again dear friend this seems to contradict Pauls stance, and even contradicts the stance of Jesus’s Ascension into the “clouds” which are terse used to denote a spiritual heaven.

You find the answer to Christ.

St. Thomas Aquinas used Aristotle’s Cause and Effect to prove logically the existence of God.

Heavy, heavy reading, ‘The Summa’…I needed a Dominican priest in a study group to get to the next page.

Examples of perversion to the body: carnal use for free sex, diseases, alcohol and substance abuse addiction to one 's body, lying, stealing, committing sacrileges and blasphemies with the body, coveting, murder. All that is done by a perverted body which is the force of sin…based on death and lie.

Christ is the opposite and restores our bodies to grace and goodness in Truth.

Truth cannot be found in philosophy or an orientation in life because the human body is not perfect, the human mind is limited, and the body is weak that leads us to sin. So nobody out there on their own, no human being can bring us to perfection with good bodies.

Truth is a moral value, and we still need a person. But there is no one capable.

Only Christ is Truth Who has morality, Who teaches, Who redeems and restores.

What you have stated are not conditions of the body, they are conditions of the soul which has not received the Bread of Life through grace received from good moral education.

A dead body in a morgue cannot perform these perversions dear sister, so the body cannot be the source of such things…

Hi Peter, what is the difference between a religion and a body of believers?

Religion has 3 components: creed, code and cult.

A body of believers is simply that. A body of believers.
There is a body of believers who propose that immunizations cause autism. That does not make it a religion.

Religion has a creed: that is, what one believes.
Religion has a code: that is, what one practices.
Religion has a cult: that is, how one worships.
