Literally and Physically True?
Dave in Tenn:
My psychology may well be affected by scriptural accounts. But when I am well and truly, really dead, no psychology will save me from that state.

Right you are Dave. I am counting on literally being resurrected, just as literally as Jesus was.

Ahhh.. good comments.
But what about ‘physically’ being resurrected? My understanding is that we won’t have ‘physical’ bodies post resurrection. But I’ve always understood that Christ’s resurrected body was ‘physical’. Doubting Thomas physically touched Him. So will we in fact, like Christ, be resurrected to physical bodies? Will the coming kingdom, in fact, be physical?

We've been thru this before and you've been around long enough to know it.
Heb 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.
The flesh of Jesus that Thomas touched was still lower than the angels and angels are not flesh and blood. That fleshly body was dead, but it did not see corruption.
Act 2:31 He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
1Co 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
"The flesh profiteth nothing"
Joh 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
Dave in Tenn:
Read the accounts of Jesus after His Resurrection. If He is first among many brethren, that's the "model" for those in Him at resurrection, as far as I'm concerned. Both those who sleep and those who are alive at His coming will be changed.
Read the account of His ascension. As far as I'm concerned, that's the model in fulfillment of "God being all in all". I don't think the apostles just made this stuff up. He is first.
Where the world at large fits in, I don't know. I just believe in the "order" that Jesus laid out.
