Evangelical Alliance: "We aren't homophobic women-haters"

[Jenny A]

Especially since heaven in the non-fleshy body is supposed to be soooo much better.

Oh except for that embarrassing fact that so many early Christians believed that it is that fleshy body that goes to heaven. Thus the people coming out of their graves, and Jesus' marks of crucifixion after resurrection. And thus the churches aversion to cremation, the fact that the body decomposes not withstanding.

We will have bodies after we die. We don't know if they will be the same flesh as we presently have, but Jesus ate food after his resurrection and walked and talked. We'll be living on the "new earth". I think some christian's aversion to cremation is based on a lack of understanding.

Then why the body missing from the tomb? And the nail holes in the resurrected Jesus?
