take aways from rich mana and lazarus parable
rich man in hell before his family showing particular judgment
-heaven and hell shown as eternal physical places since rich man couldnt leave to dip his finger in cool water
-unlimited electron suggested- those who do bad go hell
-passage evidence against heaven as new earth, rich man wanted to warn his family still on earth
rich man and lazarus about sheol not heaven or hell argument
-story only mentions beggar carried by angels to bosom of abraham
-jewish theology- separate places in sheol
-right to abraham and wrong in bad place
-sheol not correctly translated
-when jesus spoke of fire he said gehenna
luther- rich man and lazarus story just a parable
-parable which symbolizes state of conscience after we do good or bad
-torment symbol for rich mans conscience
-rich man and cool water- symbolic for conscience torment
-resurrection doesnt take place until end of time so not literal
afterlife as a physical reality
pronounced culturally during medieval period
-dantes divine comedy, descriptions of heaven, hell and purgatory
-physical view of afterlife reflected extreme versions of medieval life on earth, torture and feasting common
paul on physical resurrection
-paul calls resurrection of jesus first fruits, first after which ours will follow, paul claims jesus saved us from our sinful state
-when we rise we have better body
-flesh and blood cannot inherit kingdom of god- well change
-
pauls analogy of tents
-moral natural bodies like tents which are heavy burden but when jesus returns the dead and give them immortal spiritual bodies
-immortality = heaven and hell eternal
augustine and physical resurrection
-earthly bodies being raised in flesh in exalted form more believable than our spirit joined with those sinful earthly bodies
-resurrected bodies must be physical since christs was
-showed hope for all christians that they would be resurrected
ressurrection as spiritual
-jesus appeared to disciples after he rose from dead
-he could disappear and appear at will- spiritual not physical
-our resurrection non physical to and after life non physical
-st paul says future bodies spiritual
argument against resurrection being spiritual
-jesus physical body gone upon his resurrection, shows he was raised physically. suggests it was his physical body that was resurrected but perfected form
-pauls description of resurrected body as spiritual and other spiritual earthly form was non physical
