They failed to see this period of "Grace" where the Gentiles would be brought in. The bible speaks of new bodies, incorruptible, etc.
That's the point precisely. I don't get this guys perception of heaven (though obviously he is trying to be funny). I don't get checkbaiters perception of heaven. I don't get a lot of peoples perception of heaven. Likewise, I am sure they don't get my perception of heaven. We all have our own notions of what heaven is like (assuming we believe in such a place) our would be like (for those of us who don't).
well heaven is taught, at least in my religion, to be a state you reach where you are apart of God and not your own seperate entitiy, now maybe its just because I cant imagine it, but that just doesnt sound right to me, you would think it would be like earth, but paradise, no plauge, violence, sin, ext...

Col 1:27 To them God willed to make known what are the riches of the glory of this mystery among the Gentiles: which is Christ in you, the hope of glory.

it is within you
at death you become pure essence
pure energy .it weighs about 1 oz or so
they discovered this weighing people while they died
this energy like electricity returns to its source
and which polarity you are determines the source
but it is all inside your essence to begin with
or thats my theory .....today

Blue shimmering light
Seagulls, wind, hot ray of sun
Happy, happy, exploding now
Life was real, life was fun
Headache dissolve; Surpassing
all my treasures of within
Peace, tranquility, everlasting
happy, happy now
Oh, how I long for oblivion
Sent of due drops flowery hume
To be forever forgotten in
this world of pain and loom
To be dissolved and reborn
A bird or mindless rock or stone
For my limbs are aching sore
My soul barely lifted by my bone
Of all the things that I have done
I regret but one thing; one thing alone
That I didn't crack your christian skull
into oblivion before they sealed my tomb
For I'd much rather wanted,
to be part of heavinly sent
To earth, to wind, to water,
To nature's own perverted bent."
