God could roll your bare soul in a sand dune and recreate your perfected body.

After all, sand and human bone, muscle, even the sensuous skin, are subatomically the same stuff.

The cells of our body die every day and disappear into dust and air.

But here’s the thing as I see it. Even that dust and air etc doesn’t disappear completely, does it? So if you have an atom of you in the cosmos somewhere, God ‘regenerates’ it. How is it harder for Him to bring you ‘back’ from the you cells that are already there, than it was to create you in the first place?

I think you have the idea that once a person decomposes enough, that he or she ‘can’t’ be brought back because the decomposition ‘goes too far’. But the Maker of stars and galaxies, who Himself defeated death, is surely capable of saying even to the ‘deadest’ and ‘least’ cell, 'Arise, shine forth" and make of that a glorified body to rejoin the soul and go into Eternity with Him, forever in the community of saints. The Author of Life cannot be limited by the temporary and temporal effects of physical death in His creatures, or He wouldn’t be God. And the regeneration of glorified life, being a promise He gave to us, is obviously not something irrational, or something He hadn’t planned on. Remember, we’re all still creatures, finite, of limited intellect compared to God. What we see imperfectly or can’t get our minds around might be something that we’re just not seeing at ALL, and once we do, will make perfect sense.
Thanks!

That must be why I love the beach so much. 😉

Can you speak more about that, please?

Chemically, sand and the proteins that compose human muscle, skin, and bone are not the same. But the basic particles that go into the atoms of silicon, oxygen, nitrogen and carbon are indeed the same.

So God does not need the molecules that were in you at death, if they are no longer there. If needed, He could start over.

I started a thread about this years ago but it fizzled out. How can the dead be resurrected when they are dry bones or dust? I’m having a hard time comprehending it.
This was the most difficult teaching that I faced. I could not grasp the possibility of it. I can’t say I have thoroughly grasp it yet but it occurred to several years ago that if I am to believe that God is the creator of all that is matter and all that which is spiritual, I must accept that He can handle this.

Frankly we can not know how this is going to work. The fact that life was created out of sterility is no more of a miracle than what God is proposing here.

I had to face the fact that there is just an awful of stuff that I am unable to comprehend, even on the most basic level. I have lots of questions to take with me if, God willing, I get a chance to ask.

But, don’t stop asking. Maybe you will come up with the answer. I’ll bet though, if you do figure it out, you will find it almost impossible to articulate.
 
If Im not mistaken, some of the people living around the time of Jesus, elected to be cremated, thinking this was ‘getting one over’ on God, and their bodies could not be made whole again when the time comes…does this sound familiar to anyone?

I dont think it matters what condition your remains are in, God CAN do anything.
