Episode notes
Two Views of Eternity
- Eternity can be understood as timelessness or everlasting duration, both coherent concepts.
- Confusing these two leads to difficulty imagining eternity and understanding the soul's intermediate state vision.
Visual Experience of Souls
- The disembodied soul does not have physical eyes but has mental visual experiences.
- Resurrection reunites soul with a new, glorified body; dead bodies remain inanimate until then.
Non-recognition of Risen Jesus
- Disciples' failure to recognize the risen Jesus was likely supernaturally imposed, not physical change.
- This non-recognition symbolizes the transformed relationship with Jesus after resurrection and ascension.
