Hi everyone- <br><br>Been listening to RC Sproul's tape of the month (the last 3), dealing with the state of man after death. Couple of things jumped out at me. Ist thing..'flesh and blood can not enter the kingdom of God', and I've always thought that to mean Heaven, but couldn't it also mean Hell? If God raises both the dead in Christ and the dead in sin at the final judgment, and those going to Heaven are given glorified bodies, then is it reasonable to assume those dead in sin will be given glorified bodies? If Hell is an eternity, and I believe that it is, wouldn't those condemned to it have to have uncorruptible bodies as well? <br><br>RC mentions somewhere in the 3 tapes the Beatific Vision, and that it has been thought by theologians that Christ, being sinless always had this Vision before Him during His incarnation, up to the point of His death on the cross and this was the unbearable punishment, not the physical pain He endured, not trying to minimize it, just not maximizing it here.<br><br>So now back to the condemned in Hell...if they are raised, then on some level they must be perfected, and if they stand before the Judgment Seat of God, there can be no more denying Him, there is no more question in their mind, they know the Truth of God. Isn't their condemnation exactly what Christ suffered on the cross, the complete knowledge of God, knowing He has turned His face forever from them, knowing there will never be another blessing, another ounce of Grace or mercy and yet desperately wanting His love and mercy?<br><br>'Repent for the kingdom of God is at hand.' It isn't just heaven in mind here, is it..or is it? <br><br>Hell has just become a much more terrifying place, and if I'm being a big dufus, please set my feet on solid ground, there are few willing to talk about hell, especially preachers, I know, I've asked!<br><br>Thanks for listening,<br><br>Hannahsmom
