Re: Resurrection?

OK, thanks. I guess I was just imposing a strict literalism to the term resurrection to the point of absurdity. I agree that that even if the body is obliterated the person doesn't therefore cease to exist. I think the Biblical view is that the soul is clothed with a glorified body. Although that would still make the idea of the dead being raised a bit misleading because technically there is no dead body to raise.
Both the living and the dead are going to be bodily resurrected. Those who have eternal life with Christ to immortality, and those who yet are "spiritually" dead to God, their living conscious souls will be resurrected bodily to die again, this time both soul and body, in the second death. The only what is called "their worm [singular]" will never die. (Revelation 20:11-15. Revelation 21:8. Mark 9:48.)
Truth originates with God.
Belief originates with truth.
Reason is based in one's beliefs.
