Stand Firm discussion

As I was continuing my read in Alcorn's "Heaven," there are specific parts where he talks about our resurrected bodies having resemblance to our current bodies but in a state of perfection. This is (usually) general knowledge to BELIEVERS about receiving our new bodies, but what about UN-BELIEVERS? Mr. Alcorn doesn't seem to address those who are unsaved.

My questions is, do those that are confined to eternity in Hell, get new bodies as well? And are maybe just not able to take advantage of them? Or, do they keep their current, imperfect, bodies?

We know that heaven (the new earth) is a physical place with multiple versus of scripture to back it up. We then would need to be physical, and not spiritual like many think, to inhabit a physical place. This leads me to believe, then, that Hell is also physical and it's inhabitants being physical as well.

I've done some digging in scripture that leads me to believe that all persons, saved or unsaved, will receive new bodies. But am still unsure.

What are your thoughts mister Collins?

HMMMMMMMMM! Let me do some thinking and I will get back to this.

It is all obscure to say the least.... I think that it might be logical to conclude physical bodies are made new, those confined to Hell just wouldnt be able to take advantage of that "newness" Hell is hell because of that seperation from God and being aware that they have created their own misery. Basically Severe Depression without any relief. Thus the whole "Gnashing of teeth and weeping" references. A constant woe forever.

Yeah I think we're on the same page with this. Definitely an interesting topic to ponder. I didn't find any specific scripture in support or denial of this, but it seems one can logically assume everyone gets a new body. Those in heaven get to reap the benefits of the new/perfected body, while those in hell don't.
