Temporal Physical

Temporal physical salvation represents protection from mortal danger. Usage of the term "saved" in this context is exhibited when Jesus and the apostles are at sea in a ship when a great storm arises. The apostles in fear of capsizing, wake Jesus from His sleep and say, "Lord, save us: we perish" (Matt. 8:25). Peter repeats a similar plea, while sinking as he walks on the water, "Lord, save me" (Matt 14:30). This concept is also conveyed when the savior says, "For whosoever will save his life shall lose it: and whosoever will lose his life for my sake shall find it" (Matt. 16:25; notice the Mark 8:35 and Luke 9:24 accounts use the word "save" in place of Matthew's "find" with a different meaning than that of the first "save"). And again when Jesus is discussing the abomination of desolation spoken of by Daniel he states, "For in those days shall be affliction, such as was not from the beginning of the creation...and except that the Lord had shortened those days, no flesh should be saved" (Mark 13:19-20). The phrase "I am with you" occurs frequently in the Scriptures and is the Lord's promise of temporal physical salvation, as occurs in Matt. 28:20 and Acts 18:10.

(Is this what the special underware are supposed to do?)

 

 

Eternal Physical

The second type of physical salvation is more commonly referred to as resurrection, which is synonymous in the scriptures with immortality. In his letter to the Corinthians, Paul describes our salvation from physical death: "So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in coruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body" (1 Cor. 15:42-44). And, Christ taught "all that are in the graves shall hear [the Father's] voice, and shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of of damnation" (John 5:29). Thus, resurrection saves our spirits from an eternal separation from our bodies after physical death.
 
I can't even comment on this stuff!
