Hmm...I think we need to pray about literal and metophorical things in the Holy Word. I will be praying for you and for all of us.
Can someone please explain to me why the Church today does not believe this?
Does Jesus who now lives inside us, as he is our new life. Is Jesus fully aware of his surroundings while living inside us? If Jesus is fully aware of his surroundings on this earth by living in us, why are we not also fully aware of our surroundings in Heaven where we are dwelling in him? After all, Christ lives in us, and we live in Him!!! "For as he is, so are we in this world"..
Is not the"Glory"which Jesus gave us make us"one"in God, and not only one with God but also with one another? Is not this Glory that which connects us to both worlds, the earthy, and Heavenly? How else can Jesus be sitting on his throne in Heaven and also living in us all at the same time? The Kingdom of God has been given to us, and we have already been translated there when we became a new creature in Christ.
I guess we should follow Paul's goal in wanting to experience the reality of the resurrection of the dead.
Php 3:9 And be found in him, not having mine own righteousness, which is of the law, but that which is through the faith of Christ, the righteousness which is of God by faith:
Php 3:10 That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
Php 3:11 If by any means I might attain unto the resurrection of the dead.
Php 3:12 Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.
