I agree. Well written post. I wonder if Lance, John, Bill, and Jonathan agree too.

But this is ultimately what we all should be looking forward to, the day when our bodies are discarded for new ones, built in the image of Christ, according to his new resurrected glory. Those who think that the discarding of these weak and contemptible bodies of flesh has nothing to do with Christianity are the ones who greatly concern me. When they know what the Scriptures teach about the evil nature that resides in these bodies, it is even more disconcerting that they would want to remove not only our hope of discarding these bodies, but also remove our confidence of victory over the flesh while we now live. This is not gnosticism. This is the apostolic doctrine of Paul, which is according to holiness. Peace be with you.
