.....................How could He appear to them without coming through the door?. It's very easy Robert when you are the Lord Of Glory. I repeat again, because you seem to be missing it; Scripture does not say Christ walked through a wall or a door or any other solid object! Why can't you see that? Christ's body was raised and Glorified He can appear or disappear at His discretion. "A natural resurrected body, like Lazurus had when the Lord revived him DOES NOT have the ability to walk through solid objects or material." Lazarus was raised from the dead but he would have had to die again because he was not glorified, so bad example Rob. You really seem hung up on this point Robert. I agree that Christ body is glorified but it is the same earthly body that was glorified not one that was dissolved. Is that what you believe that Christ was dissolved? The JW's at my door try to tell me that but they are a Christ denying cult. "Absent from the body - present with the Lord" simply describes the intermediate state of the believers who die before the Lord returns. 1 Thess 4: says He will bring them with Him, but also that they will rise first. it's not one or the other, it's both Robert. Philippians 3:20 But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Savior from there, the Lord Jesus Christ, 21who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his control, will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body. Notice our bodies are transformed not dissolved. Did you read the article by Geisler? I would like to here your response to the lack of historical verification and the problems with the message of the Gospel itself that flow from the Hyper Preterist viewpoint. Greg
