Are the resurrected bodies timeless? What sense could be made of the idea of resurrected life?

The question reminds me a well-known passage from A PORTRAIT OF THE ARTIST AS A YOUNG MAN by James Joyce, in which he grapples with the notion of forever.

"For ever! For all eternity! Not for a year or for an age but for ever. Try to imagine the awful meaning of this. You have often seen the sand on the seashore. How fine are its tiny grains! And how many of those tiny little grains go to make up the small handful which a child grasps in its play. Now imagine a mountain of that sand, a million miles high, reaching from the earth to the farthest heavens, and a million miles broad, extending to remotest space, and a million miles in thickness; and imagine such an enormous mass of countless particles of sand multiplied as often as there are leaves in the forest, drops of water in the mighty ocean, feathers on birds, scales on fish, hairs on animals, atoms in the vast expanse of the air: and imagine that at the end of every million years a little bird came to that mountain and carried away in its beak a tiny grain of that sand. How many millions upon millions of centuries would pass before that bird had carried away even a square foot of that mountain, how many eons upon eons of ages before it had carried away all? Yet at the end of that immense stretch of time not even one instant of eternity could be said to have ended. At the end of all those billions and trillions of years eternity would have scarcely begun. And if that mountain rose again after it had been all carried away, and if the bird came again and carried it all away again grain by grain, and if it so rose and sank as many times as there are stars in the sky, atoms in the air, drops of water in the sea, leaves on the trees, feathers upon birds, scales upon fish, hairs upon animals, at the end of all those innumerable risings and sinkings of that immeasurably vast mountain not one single instant of eternity could be said to have ended; even then, at the end of such a period, after that eon of time the mere thought of which makes our very brain reel dizzily, eternity would scarcely have begun."

If an all powerful being was inclined to build us new bodies, logic would dictate said being could build to whatever degree of durability desired.

As for time there is simply no conceivable sense of existence that does not involve energy-space-time.

But this said, we already know time can pass at different rates for different objects. Hence the possibilities of non-related temporal systems.

Again though there is no conceivable notion of a system lacking a temporal nature.

Yes, the resurrected bodies are timeless.The reason of saying this because everyday someone is having a phenomena where they visualize or see things happening in the present or future. Individuals can know things about people because they are in tuned with their sixth sense. No explanation for things that might know or can't explain (just know)

There is a system that has no temporal relation to us because once we all partake of death we will not know ourselves of what are parents called us but we will know ourselves. In the next life (spiritual life) or life beyond this physical time we be of no essence. Why is it individuals see and hear spirits while no one else...some are given a prelude to what is about to happen.

We as people do not listen but the sign are here and all around...Listen with your heart, see with your mind go beyond the flesh...this is my perspective of bodies in timelessness

Time is something that can be slowed down.

Einstein's theory on that has been proved as you know.

So when you would reach a speed that almost reaches the speed of light time would almost stand still and your mortal body would be able to live for thousands of years.

But the problem with that is that you would NOT experience it is as thousands of years and your heart would stop after the same amount of beats as a regular human being.

We are convicted to time, but then again: time is our friend.

Time is our guideline that gives us birth-death-birth-death andsoon

We are in fact immortal because time refreshes our bodies through regeneration. That way we can adapt to the changes of time :-)

Ohhh!!!! that is wild! that is like, night of the residing lifeless. i've got by no ability examine that till now. i gets back to you. Edit: ok, here we pass: The scripture tells us of one considerable ingredient of who those people have been, they have been "saints," Matthew 27:fifty two (KJV) fifty two And the graves have been opened; and various bodies of the saints which slept arose, Saints have been people who observed the Lord. because of the fact they did all they might do, that is: believe interior the Lord Jesus Christ, repented of their sins, and have been baptized...while they died, their bodies have been nonetheless in a sinful state because of the fact their sins had no longer been paid for by ability of Jesus Christ till after Christ died on the bypass. while Jesus died on the bypass, the spirits of those saints back to the physique in a glorified state having been saved by Jesus' grace, and by residing a worth existence. Why did they walk around attesting of their resurrection? They have been witnesses to the capacity of the resurrection, and to the capacity the Jesus Christ had, that truthfully he replaced into the Messiah that replaced into despatched to come back to redeem the international from sin. What surpassed off to them afterwards...Did they grow to be immortal people strolling the earth, or have been they taken back to heaven? The bible would not say.

Yes, there are many who are waiting for the glorious day of the Lord, in the heavens! There are many levels in the heavens. This is where everything is stored and worked.

I have read the Book of Enoch, which tells of all the marvelous works of he Lord, the angels and many others, we know nothing of.

Do you know there are angels there, who pray endlessly for all the souls here on earth? When we send prayers up to the heavens, this resonates as beautiful music to the Lord God above!

The things here on earth are temporal. It is there, where everything is 'ever after'... :D

No sense.

Never waste your precious time and attention on nonsense.

You think you're going to live forever?

You're not.

Your finite time here is your most precious resource.

You can stop watching the Michael Jackson coverage too.

If you throw away your life (your time) why would you expect to get a second helping?

Only atheists, who invent great products, and bring much joy to the world deserve extra time. But they don't need it. Because they spent the time they had very well.

Religionist wanck-brains really go into the cosmic oubliette, this is called Divine Justice.

Organize your time pal, that's my answer for you.

think of it in terms of the law of conservation of energy. no energy can be destroyed. so when the soul leaves the body it goes somewhere . but the soul tries to develop and evolve . it does this by becoming another person. sometimes two year olds wil have some memory of their past deaths or lifes. for the most part we will forget these memories so we can continue our development .

Not outside of eternity. Made sense is invalid. No. It is the process time, actuality.

first... its proven that mass and wave are interchangable in state...and its proven that wave don't die, it weaken but don't die....so we as existence won't vanish after death....

regardless of what i said .... we must get out of our limitations.....

time is just a dimension we are living within through this phase...so when we die why to stay within it......i think that when we die the spacial dimensions and time will no longer exist...i mean will exist as a consciousness in different concept of exitence ! other than materialistic needs and time or any other dimension....
