Friday’s Word – Some Scholars Don’t Know

I believe Jesus is Lord. He was crucified and raised from the dead—His body transformed and the tomb empty.

I believe Jesus was right about God—and He is the only one who was right in all of ancient history.

No one else knew that God IS unconditional love.

I believe all of this.

I have good reason to believe all of this.

Everything I believe is supported by the actual experience of God.

But I do not believe anything we know is not true.

John Polkinghorne is a smart guy. He is a physicist who became an Anglican priest.

He says when we die, we cease to exist until the General Resurrection, when God “remembers us” back into existence.

Say what?!!

We know that when we die, we move immediately into God’s realm.

This is what people experience in NDEs.

N. T. Wright, author of The Resurrection of the Son of God, is considered a great scholar.

He says when we die, we enter a kind of sleep until we are raised from the dead at the (yet again) General Resurrection.

At that time, he says, Jesus will bring all of the dead from heaven back to earth to be reunited with their bodies—

And to live here—on earth. Here? On earth? Forever?!!

It appears Jesus is going to set up shop in Jerusalem and rule as potentate from there.

WE KNOW BETTER!

Everyone who has an NDE tells us heaven is our home. When we at last lay this old body down, we will never need it again.

Some scholars just don’t know beans.
