How do you perceive time? what happens when you ablity to cognitively process the division of time ends, then how will you perceive time?
Paul answered this question by saying when we are absent from the body we will be present with God.
This means to us (those who die waiting for Christ.) could close our eye in a blink and to us our eye will open it just as fast as that blink, and be standing before the Lord in our judgement.
Imagaine in one blink closing our eyes, dying and whether it be 1 day or a trillion years later, that time would seem instantaneous, because the internal mechnisim that we use to experience time will have died with our bodies. So it would seem the moment we die, will be the same moment we wake up to facing Jesus. "Absent from the body=present with God"
Or at least from our perspective.
Yeah Drich - blow that smokescreen!
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist. This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair. Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second. That means there's a situation vacant.'
