Started the mammoth Resurrection of the Son of God - by NT Wright last night.
Wow that book is going to be a paradigm shift in my thinking - especially the questions about what happens to a person when one dies. We Christians have all our cliche answers - but I believe that we never really stop to explore the philosophical implications of some of what we believe.
Why did God make us with bodies if we are never really going to use them but for a few years on earth? Why do we spend majority of our time on "heaven" as an after death experience nowadays versus what the Bible did - the resurrection?
These are some questions that I am very interested in exploring and have very practical implications about how we live our Christian lives.
On another topic about the body - I have had some kind of sinus infection that is driving me nuts. Headaaches, drainage, sniffles etc. I always seem to get them in the early spring and late fall. My wife says that cold weather has nothing to do with it - but weighing the facts I just cannot agree with her. But enough whining - I will get better.
