Absolute Eternal Life isthe reunion of the soul and spirit of the obedient human who trusts Jesus as Lord and Christ, with a resurrected spiritual body of flesh and bone that shall never die again, being motivated by the union of his/hetr spirit with that of The God, always doing everything right and in peace with The God, a permanent resident of His Eternal City.

Oh?

Then what logical reason is there for having graves opening and old, rotten flesh ascending?

Like Lazarus, this was only a temporal temporary special manifestation of God's δύναμις (dunamis = doo'-nam-is) healing and resurrection power, I guess spilling out on other tombs next to the one holding Jesus' body.

This "Talitha cum" enlivenment happened several times at the time of Jesus' training of the special disciples, and even after His ascenscion as ministered by Peter to Tabitha/Dorcas, or centuries before by Elisha to a widow;s son because of her faith.

There is no indication that these underwent assumption, but laid down again and went back into their physical death state. I don't at this time have any explanation for this, and indeed don't need any to preach the saving gospel, which is toward birth in the spirrit of humans who are yet alive physically. Of late, having the written Gospels and the history and words given to the Apostles and elders constituating the now-closed New Testament, we see no more such temporary resurrections.

What do you think of that, my Bro?

Though logic might be applied in the application of Scripture. no logical reasoning is necessary to understand what I said. What is necessary is a spiritual discernment, not a "natural" (ψυχικος = psookeekawss, soulish) one, a reading and believing what the God-breathed Word says without putting human limits on it. You know better than this, Els.

Love you, man!
