[quote:Anonymous Coward 6713570:MV8yMTM3ODAxXzM2MDk2Njg2XzhDQ0NBMEFG] [quote:Anonymous Coward 18850150:MV8yMTM3ODAxXzM2MDk2NTE4X0I4RjA4OEI4] . Holy Scriptures teach there is no consciousness in death. There is no immortal soul or personality apart from the body. The only immortality is the resurrection of the body. God has the number of our name [ie, our genetic code] written in His book of life. . [/quote] Well...that was old testament. After Jesus died...all that changed. Revelation 6:10 says: "They called out in a loud voice, "How long, Sovereign Lord, holy and true, until you judge the inhabitants of the earth and avenge our blood?" These are people who died and want to know when justice will be served. So...if they can ask the Lord this...they must be conscious....yes? [/quote]
Original Message
Many things about the Christian religion confuse me. With respect to going to heaven pending the return:
1. When you die, do you experience nothingness until Jesus' return?
2. If so, do you experience 'nothingness' instantaneously, in other words hundreds maybe thousands years pass and didn't even realize time has passed?
3. Physical bodies will be reunited. This part also confuses me. What about decay, skeletons, people who were cremated. How does that work.
Looking forward to learning more.
