I responded the same in another thread topic, but God made man in order to work through man and influence the physical universe. God is Spirit, and the physical universe was created at a certain point. God then made man both spiritual and physical. And man was meant to be God's expresser into the physical. Without a physical body, this would not occur.
This principle is seen in Paul's words, "Christ liveth in me." Gal 2:20. God made man in order to manifest through man. As God is in the Heavens and is solely Spirit, He made man in His image in the physical realm. None of this would work if man did not have a body. So the resurrection will return our bodies to the states in which God first intended us to be before the fall -- immortal physical people through whom His Spirit can manifest. |
Full preterists have asked the same question as MTD. Why a physical resurrection if we're with Jesus when we die? Any thoughts on my response?
