One of the most forgotten men in Scripture
Kat:
Hi Gena,
1Cor 15:28 When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself will also be subjected to Him who put all things in subjection under Him, that God may be all in all.
What it means to me "that God may be all in all" is that all beings both human and angelic will have been brought out of their carnal state and into oneness with the mind of God.
Now all of the human race will have been changed to spirit and brought into the kingdom. This seems to be where you are confused.
--- Quote ---Everything is spirit, and we will be in the 'ALL IN ALL', SO I was thinking it in more," mystical, ghostly, misty, kind of a thing", terms. We would be IN HIM.
--- End quote ---
Just because all beings will be all in all with God, I think the universe and earth will still be here, the physical realm will not disappear. I think the physical and spiritual realms will still exist together, like now.
To think about what it will be like in spirit, it may help to think about what Jesus Christ was like after His resurrection, we will be like Him.
Luke 24:36 As they were talking about these things, Jesus Himself stood among them, and said to them, "Peace to you!"
v.37 But they were startled and frightened and thought they saw a spirit.
v.38 And He said to them, "Why are you troubled, and why do doubts arise in your hearts?
v.39 See My hands and my feet, that it is I Myself. Touch Me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have."
v.40 And when He had said this, He showed them His hands and His feet.
v.41 And while they still disbelieved for joy and were marveling, He said to them, "Have you anything here to eat?"
v.42 They gave Him a piece of broiled fish,
v.43 and He took it and ate before them.
In this passage Jesus Christ manifested Himself in the physical form of a man, He said He was flesh and bone and He ate. I think this will be the same for those who are in the resurrection. They will be in glorious spirit bodies, but will be able to manifest into physical form as need be, to relate to those that are still living on earth.
1John 3:2 Beloved, we are God's children now, and what we will be has not yet appeared; but we know that when He appears we shall be like Him, because we shall see Him as He is.
Being all in all with God, thought it will be a spiritual bliss, we will still be individuals with our own personality. We will have been shaped and molded into the image of God, but we will still be the unique indidviduals that our experiences and lives have created.
This is what I think, hope it helps :)
mercy, peace and love

Good morning folks,
I'm up late so I thought to add a little.
I just saw the movie Evan Almighty and can recommend it if we watch with the knowledge we have and don't judge to harshly. It is funny and attempts to teach a few beneficial things about family AND God and has a sense of humor throughout the whole thing.
Regarding who I would like to spend some time with in addition to Jesus of course is my DAD.
My Dad and I got along but he was so afraid of my Mother's temper that he kept his opinions to himself and consequently we didn't really get to know one another. The last time I saw him was in the hospital in Gary, Indiana. He was sitting up with some tubes in place and smiling and was very kind in his conversation to me and the next day he was dead. He had bowel cancer and it was inoperable.
I used to worry about what he must have thought of me since I was too busy to stay at the hospital while he was suffering through his last hours alone. I will need to apologize sincerely when next I see him but as I recall he will forgive me quickly and we can begin to get to know one another a lot more intimately for the first time. What I do really, really appreciate in having the knowledge that God has given all of us on the forum, is that he will wake up in the next instant of consciousness and look around for me, and I WILL BE THERE. The way I should have been in 1967. I have a lot to be thankful for.

Kathy, that helped a lot!!! Thanks.
Bob, that was a nice post, most heartfelt.
I feel a lot better knowing that we will be ourselves so to speak.
I don't know how I got off on that being consumed in God's spirit and NOT being ourselves.

Bob, I can so relate to your testimony.
My dad had brain cancer and Hospice was at his house.
My step mom called and told me I should consider getting home (1000 miles away) ASAP.
I put it off for a couple of days and then the Hospice nurse called and said "get home now!"
It took me another day to get airline tickets, and even that flight did not leave AZ until 5 PM the next day..
When I landed at the nearest airport, my sister-in-law picked me up and we still had an hour drive to dads house.
As we were driving thru the gate, I noticed the morticians rolling the gurney into the house.
Dads time of death was estimated to be 5 minutes after I landed at the airport.
4 days from the 1st call to when I walked into dads house for the last time. :-[ :'(
