The belief that our souls will inhabit a different body than the one we had when God gave us that soul sounds a lot like “reincarnation” to me.

From the moment of conception our souls and bodies are united and remain so until our death. The soul we are given by God at that moment is immortal. The body is mortal.

“I will raise you up on the last day.”

“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:

Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”

The dead in Christ shall rise first, and together with them we shall meet the Lord and ever be with the Lord.

Answer me this.

If the body God has united with our soul is not the body which is resurrected, what happens to those who are still alive when Christ comes?

Do they shed the body they have for the new one?

Do you believe our earthly bodies will be EXACTLY the same as now? What we have now in the body of our flesh will be what we have in our glorified bodies?
