That's not even transforming a corpse, but transforming a living body from mortal to immortal. <br /><br />What about many situations where there are no bones or ashes? Most remains weren't interred in ossuaries. I'm unclear on how far you wish to take the principle. <br /><br />Moreover, it's a huge stretch to compare ashes to the former body. The entire structure of the former body has been dissolved. What makes one pile of ashes distinguishable from another pile of ashes? stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16547070544928321788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-21229140994266543312016-11-27T02:25:49.530-05:002016-11-27T02:25:49.530-05:00I think the idea he may be putting forward is the ...I think the idea he may be putting forward is the idea that resurrection is another body, one which has no connection to the current one, into which a spirit is placed rather than a reformed body, whether from skeletons or ashes. This idea is foreign to the New Testament, where the very mortal body of the believer is given immortality.B. C.

Our bodies can be identified as us inasmuch as there is an A-theory type of contiguousness from the birth body to the death body. If some aspect of B-theory holds true with regard to God's ability to sustain his creation, even in the death of his creatures, then a re-created body shouldn't be difficult to accept.Jim Pembertonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01446388434272680014noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789188.post-21591046421795395932016-11-22T20:23:31.160-05:002016-11-22T20:23:31.160-05:00I guyess if you're cremated, God cannot raise ...I guyess if you're cremated, God cannot raise you.Trent W.https://www.blogger.com/profile/10689445339105939531noreply@blogger.com
