I have no idea. I need an aspirin. As I said, I think He inhabits His creation.  That’s different from whether a person (dead, at that) is inhabited by the indwelling Holy Spirit.  So, are you saying that you believe that while your earthly body is becoming carrion, that you are already living in your (re)new body with a (re)new soul/spirit (all one entity) in heaven? Izzy  Funny thing, that. The statement I was making has been misunderstood. Let me explain differently. When I asked if my dead body was inhabited my God, I was not asking if the "Holy Spirit" (i.e., the Comforter, the Shekhinah) was indwelling my carcass. God's presence (as opposed to His Shekhinah) is present in my carcass just as He is present in every place simultaneously, if I have a grasp on the meaning of Omnipresence.   I was making a correlation between the presence of God in Creation and the presence of Slade in his living body.   As far a Heaven, please don't be disappointed when you never see "Heaven" as in that unearthly Throne Room somewhere in the ethereal or the phlogiston. The Kingdom as we see in the Revelation is brought down to the Land of Israel. The Kingdom is enjoyed by those who submit to Messiah's authority.   AS far as the timing, I'm off and I don't know where the problem lies, but that's ok. It really is a nonissue and my theory is just as retarded as anyone else's.   -- slade, who loves Izzy
