Resurrection of the GODly

Christ Jesus is mankind's Physical Example of the *Living Resurrection*. GOD did also resurrect saints upon Christ's resurrection to be a witness to and show the *Living Resurrection* (Matthew 27:52-53).

He lives!
He is the *Living* GOD.

The *Spirit* of a Child of GOD is the only *Spirit* created by GOD to retain a *Soul* which gives the *Spirit* the ability to exist Eternally. A *Soul* has only been afforded to Planetary Children created in GOD's *Image*.
The *Soul* is in essence the living reality and being of each Individual. It does contain and retain in full the complete recorded presence and full physical existence and essence of every thought, deed, act, or action ever felt or undertaken by an Individual throughout their entire existence.
The *Soul* is the living reality of who and what an Individual is physically.
The *Soul* is an eternal vessel which can only become destroyed by GOD and the Lake of Fire.

(Cloned humans are created in Wayward Man's image, and not the *Image* of GOD. Cloned humans do not have a GOD breathe *Soul* to exist eternally.)

Upon the physical death of a Planetary Individual created in GOD's Own *Image*, the *Spirit* and *Soul* of that Individual does either:
1. Return to GOD to be protected from Satan and his Fallen Angels. The *Spirit* and *Soul* then does rest in peace until the giving of a *New* body (resurrection) to continue to live-in.
                                                                       OR...
2. Suffer the Hell the ungodly Individual has chosen. A chosen hell rather than the fullness of GOD and His GODliness.
-- Suffer attacks of Satan.
-- Suffer and tormented by the hurt, pain and destruction chosen sin did cause.
Waiting upon Final Judgment (second death--death of the Soul) with no hope of ever receiving a *New* body for the continuance of life.

Even though the brain does stop keeping the body alive, the Mind and *Soul* continue to function and record every thought, deed, act, or action ever felt or undertaken by an Individual.

A GODly *Spirit* of an Individual DOES return to GOD (in Heaven) to be protected and does rest (sleep) until GOD does resurrect that *Spirit* and *Soul* into a *New* body. Giving the *Spirit* and *Soul* a body to once again interact with its surroundings and other GODly Individuals.
While the GODly *Spirit* sleeps (rests) at physical death (waiting upon the resurrection), the Individual is aware of its surroundings, and the *Soul* continues to permanently record all the *Spirit* does experience, even at rest. 

The *Soul* does not sleep, or one would cease to exist. (Understanding of GOD's creativity of the Human *Spirit* and *Soul* can be found on this website.)

An ungodly *Spirit* of an Individual DOES NOT return to GOD nor is it protected from Satan and his evil angels. An ungodly *Spirit* does suffer the Hell in which that *Spirit* has chosen. The ungodly *Spirit* is also aware of its surroundings, and never rests. The *Soul* of an ungodly Individual does continue to record all it does experience until the second death (death of the Soul). Once the *Soul* does become destroyed in the Lake of Fire, the *Spirit* does dissipate.

We can sight the dead in Christ (GODliness) are with the LORD...

Psalms 30:3 O LORD, thou hast brought up my soul from the grave: thou hast kept me alive,
  that I should not go down to the pit.

II Corinthians 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to 
  be present with the Lord.

I Thessalonians 4:13 But I would not have you to be ignorant, brethren, concerning them which 
  are asleep, that ye sorrow not, even as others which have no hope.
4:14 For if we believe that Jesus died and rose again, even so them also which sleep in Jesus will 
  God bring with him.
4:15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the 
  coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep.
4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, 
  and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:

The First Resurrection does take place shortly after the Rapture of the Church. The members of the Church that did partake in the Rapture do receive *Spiritual* bodies and reign with Christ for a thousand years at the place He went to prepare for them, so where He is they may be also... New Planet Earth. The Individuals that partake in the Rapture and First Resurrection will reign with Christ for a thousand years upon their New Earthly Mansion. (John 14:2-3, II Peter 3:13, II Peter 3:8)

I Corinthians 15:44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, 
  and there is a spiritual body.

Upon Final Judgment the Second Resurrection does take place for All of Earth's GODly Individuals that are remaining on Earth, and in Heaven. ALL will then become afforded/given a New *Physical* Glorified body for their *Spirit* and *Soul* to reside in for eternity.
GOD does use the DNA from the old corruptible physical body of a Child of GOD to afford them a *New* Incorruptible and Glorified body for Eternal Living Life. A *New* body with the ability to be physical or spiritual at will.

I Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be 
  changed,
15:52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and 
  the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

All shall not sleep, but All in Christ (GOD's GODliness) at last trump (Final Judgment) will be changed with the giving of a *New* incorruptible body fashioned like the body of Jesus.

Philippians 3:21 Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious 
  body
, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.

John 20:26 And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came 
  Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst
, and said, Peace be unto you.

Luke 24:34 Saying, The Lord is risen indeed, and hath appeared to Simon.
24:35 And they told what things were done in the way, and how he was known of them in breaking 
  of bread.
24:36 And as they thus spake, Jesus himself stood in the midst of them, and saith unto them, Peace 
  be unto you.
24:37 But they were terrified and affrighted, and supposed that they had seen a spirit.
24:38 And he said unto them, Why are ye troubled? and why do thoughts arise in your hearts?
24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not 
  flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
24:40 And when he had thus spoken, he shewed them his hands and his feet.
24:41 And while they yet believed not for joy, and wondered, he said unto them, Have ye here any 
  meat?
24:42 And they gave him a piece of a broiled fish, and of an honeycomb.
24:43 And he took it, and did eat before them.

John 21:12 Jesus saith unto them, Come and dine. And none of the disciples durst ask him, Who art
  thou? knowing that it was the Lord.
21:13 Jesus then cometh, and taketh bread, and giveth them, and fish likewise.
21:14 This is now the third time that Jesus shewed himself to his disciples, after that he was risen 
  from the dead.

Many do not want to believe for one reason or another that GOD's Final Judgment is total and complete destruction (annihilation) of a *Spirit* and *Soul* of the ungodly.
Death of the *Soul* is declared punishment that will last forever (everlasting). Death is final. Everlasting does not offer change of mind.
Once the *Soul* has been destroyed, there remains nothing to give the *Spirit* longevity. The *Spirit* will dissipate upon the death of the *Soul*. The second death (death of the soul) is everlasting. (Understanding of GOD's creativity of the Human *Spirit* and *Soul* can be found on this website.)

Ezekiel 18:20 The soul that sinneth, it shall die. The son shall not bear the iniquity of the father, 
  neither shall the father bear the iniquity of the son: the righteousness of the righteous shall be upon 
  him, and the wickedness of the wicked shall be upon him.

Matthew 7:19 Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.

Matthew 25:41 Then shall he say also unto them on the left hand, Depart from me, ye cursed, into 
  everlasting fire, prepared for the devil and his angels:

II Thessalonians 1:9 Who shall be punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the 
  Lord, and from the glory of his power;

Matthew 25:46 And these shall go away into everlasting punishment: but the righteous into life 
  eternal.

II Peter 2:6 And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrha into ashes condemned them with an 
  overthrow, making them an ensample unto those that after should live ungodly;

Psalms 37:20 But the wicked shall perish, and the enemies of the LORD shall be as the fat of lambs: 
  they shall consume; into smoke shall they consume away.

Proverbs 10:25 As the whirlwind passeth, so is the wicked no more: but the righteous is an 
  everlasting foundation.

Isaiah 41:11 Behold, all they that were incensed against thee shall be ashamed and confounded:  
  they shall be as nothing
; and they that strive with thee shall perish.
41:12 Thou shalt seek them, and shalt not find them, even them that contended with thee: they that 
  war against thee shall be as nothing, and as a thing of nought.

Malachi 4:1 For, behold, the day cometh, that shall burn as an oven; and all the proud, yea, and all 
  that do wickedly, shall be stubble: and the day that cometh shall burn them up, saith the LORD  
  of hosts, that it shall leave them neither root nor branch.
4:3 And ye shall tread down the wicked; for they shall be ashes under the soles of your feet in the 
  day that I shall do this, saith the LORD of hosts.

Matthew 10:28 And fear not them which kill the body, but are not able to kill the soul: but rather  
  fear him which is able to destroy both soul and body in hell.
