The God Culture: There Is No Bodily Resurrection
What happens during the resurrection? According to Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture only our spirits are resurrected. Our body is gone and turned to dust because we don't need it. We will get new bodies.
50:20 Now, it's time for the Feast of Tabernacles, okay? Also known as booths or tents which really are just interpretation of the same word, uh, Tabernacles but in Hebrew it's the word Sukkot. Again, tent. Foreshadowing of the day in which believers receive our new glorified bodies instead of our temporary temple. See, the body we're in right now is temporary. That's why it returns to dust and it never gets what, what's resurrected on the day of judgment for the dead is your spirit not your body. Body's gone. Don't need it because you'll get a new one on this day.

What verse does Tim cite to prove that our bodies are not resurrected? He cites none. But here are several verses telling us that the our bodies are raised. Of course they are changed and glorified but they are still the same bodies in which we lived.
The first thing to understand is that the body Jesus Christ died in was resurrected in a glorified manner. It even retained the same wounds.
John 20:27 Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
Paul says Christ is the pattern for us in the resurrection.
Philippians 3:20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ:
21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.
In Romans Paul says we are waiting for the redemption of our body.
Romans 8:23 And not only they, but ourselves also, which have the firstfruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting for the adoption, to wit, the redemption of our body.
Job says he will see God with the same body in which he is currently living.
Job 19:26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
Daniel says the dead shall rise out of the dust of the earth.
Daniel 12:2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
What does it mean to sleep in the dust of the earth than our decomposed bodies, the very bodies we lived in, shall be raised to newness of life?
But Tim says our body is turned to dust and gone and we don't need it. Contrary to Paul we are not waiting for the redemption of our body because we will get a new one. The Bible says testifies otherwise. That there is no bodily resurrection is another unbiblical doctrine taught by Timothy Jay Schwab who is The God Culture.
This literalism makes no sense
ReplyDeleteThe Bible is clear there will be a literal bodily resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.
DeleteYou had your shot demonstrating that
DeleteI already demonstrated it. Reread the article. the Bible teaches that all men will be resurrected and judged. I guess you do not believe Jesus' body resurrected?
DeleteI stand by my statement that the literalism makes no sense
DeleteAnd yet the whole Christian faith is built upon a LITERAL resurrection from the dead.
DeleteAnd it’s also built on the Passover lamb heresy. What you don’t understand is that Israel is His church. Jewish is just a birthright. The gentiles place in His plan is for the bride of Christ not us! If you deny the great apostasy then explain how Catholicism fits into the picture.
DeletePaul says Jesus is our Passover and you call that a heresy? None of that has anything to do with the resurrection.
DeleteIt has a lot actually and Paul never said that
Delete1 Corinthians 5:7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even CHRIST OUR PASSOVER is sacrificed for us:
DeleteBiblegateway.com says the chapter is “Dealing With a Case of Incest.” 5 To deliver such an one unto Satan for the destruction of the flesh, that the spirit may be saved in the day of the Lord Jesus.
Delete6 Your glorying is not good. Know ye not that a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump?
7 Purge out therefore the old leaven, that ye may be a new lump, as ye are unleavened. For even Christ our passover is sacrificed for us:
8 Therefore let us KEEP THE FEAST, not with old leaven, neither with the leaven of malice and wickedness; but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth.
Keeping the feast shows whether you believe Christ is the Passover lamb or not it’s an expression (with this context.) That’s why Paul said NOT WITH OLD LEAVEN AFTER! The context matters… for biblical literalism at least.
