What does your soul look like?

It's not a question of violating mass/energy conservation necessarily. I'm quite sure it's possible to come up with explanations rooted in physics about why the loss of weight occurs. Our weight goes up and down constantly, so it wouldn't be that surprising if the end of various metabolic processes caused some chang ...[text shortened]... ould be wrong. I just remember reading about it in a newspaper, rather than a Christian source.

Heck, if you read it in a newspaper it must be correct. So why let little things like where did it go worry us?

The important thing is - what do you want to believe? Ignorance, superstition and witch burning kept us happy for a millienium - why not stay there?

Q: What will we look like when we get to heaven? Will we be like we were when we were young and vigorous, or like I am now (I'm in my 70s)? Or will we just be spirits? — M.G.


A: Dear M.G.,
No, we won't just be spirits, without any form or substance. God gave our bodies to us, and some day God will unite our souls with our new bodies—bodies that will never become sick or grow old.

Those bodies will be far more glorious than anything we can ever imagine right now. The Bible compares this to the planting of a seed—a seed that may be very small and insignificant and unimpressive, but which sprouts and brings forth something beautiful and glorious. The Bible says, "So it will be with the resurrection of the dead. ... it (the body) is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory" (1 Corinthians 15:42-43).

What will we look like in heaven? The Bible doesn't tell us exactly—and the reason, I believe, is because we can't even begin to imagine what we will really be like then. But the Bible does tell us this: Our new bodies will be like the body Jesus had after His resurrection. The Bible says, "Just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven" (1 Corinthians 15:49).

The most important truth, however, is this: This life is not all, but ahead of us is heaven if we know Christ. Do you have that hope in your heart? You can, by giving your life to Jesus. Then you too will have "a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ" (1 Peter 1:3).

Pretty hard to imagine all right. A physical body - with need for sustenance, and the inevitable aftereffects plus the other desires. Can one sin in heaven?. Or a non-material body - the equivalent of being totally paralysed.

And just does one do, for eternity? Personally, I will be glad to be in the same place in a hundred years time as I was a hundred years ago.
