Robert Kelley's weekly instruction, observations and reflections inspired by the Lord posted each Sunday night.


The Body Beautiful, Pt. 2
On May 26, 2014 in God's Creatures by Robert Kelley Robert Kelley

          (We  apologize  to  any  of  our  blog readers that looked for it as scheduled on May 25th.  Technical problems that have now been resolved prevented yesterday's blog post.  Have a safe Memorial Day.)

 
            To imagine in the resurrection unmarried testosterone driven immortal men eternally attempting to restrain themselves from wanting to have sex with immortal women seductively curved and even though modestly dressed, still giving off hormones to attract them is an affront to the holiness and orderliness of God. Perfection does not prohibit sexual desire since God purposely equipped the mortal male and female in the beginning to desire and have sex in their perfection! Sin is not the source of sexual desire, it is the intensifier of it forbidden and perverted. The body (our brains and hormones) as designed and created by God drive sexual desire in this present mortal age.
 
            No, in the resurrection to immortal glory, God will make some changes in the form and functions of the human body. Again, in order to give a sense of the radical transformation the human body will undergo in the resurrection to immortality, the Lord Jesus says those who experience it will be “equal to the angels,” (Luke 20:36, NKJV). Whatever all of that means besides the inability to die, it surely also means bodies composed of spirit (Psalm 104:4; Hebrews 1:7). The apostle Paul affirms this when he by the Holy Spirit instructs the Corinthians and us that the God who gives things bodies “as He pleases” constructs our immortal bodies of spirit (1 Corinthians 15:35-46, NKJV)!
 
            Angels in their natural state made of spirit are not shown to engage in romantic relationships, appear as females or procreate in the Bible. Since they do not die, their huge but finite number God created them in is never reduced. Femininity in form and function in the physical creation generally and mankind particularly to include the unique menstrual cycle, is clearly a special construction of God to fulfill His purpose and plans for procreation in this mortal age (Genesis 2:21-22, 6:17-20, 7:1-3, 7-9, 13-16). For the sake of retaining the female body intact, would you have the holy God eternally tolerate the impure flow of menstrual blood in His presence (Leviticus 15:19-27; Isaiah 64:6; Revelation 21:27)?
 
            The apostle Paul emphatically declares the mystery of God, “flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God…but we shall all be changed,” (1 Corinthians 15:50-51, NKJV). God does something totally removed from this present mortal age and glorious in Christ! It is not merely a taking of this mortal body and making it immortal. God effects a complete metamorphosis of the human male and female bodies to conform them singularly to the glorified body of Christ (1 Corinthians 15:49; 2 Corinthians 5:16-17; Philippians 3:20-21). No saint in that day will utter one word of complaint--guaranteed! That God can easily physically re-make the human body should not cause the faithful to stagger in unbelief.
 
            Since the fall and sin in the world to this very hour quite unnaturally children are born with male organs that should have been female and vice versa. Transgender sex change operations show how wicked man can purposely restructure the human body. From ancient times males have been born without or had their testosterone producing testicles removed resulting in no interest in sex. Women injected with the male hormone become bigger, stronger and more aggressive while men injected with female hormones lose facial hair and see their breasts enlarge. The female reproductive system dies with age so that what made her unique is no more.
 
            If sin can cause dysfunction in and sinful men can surgically alter the mortal body in which normal functions begin to naturally decay and die, then why can’t the omnipotent God, Creator of man’s body raise it from death and metamorphose it to fulfill a brand new existence and set of functions in accord with His eternal plans? And so, He will! No more marriage, sex and procreation in the resurrection to immortal glory means God is taking away the male desire and ability to procreate permanently. Too, the female as we have known her physically in this present mortal age will be no more. The body beautiful now, is to become even more beautiful as immortal strong men and sons of God have their new bodies made after the likeness of the glorified body of Christ!
 
            Repeatedly I have been led by the Lord to point out how much of biblical Christianity has been corrupted by the culturally influenced desires of men practicing manmade Christianity the religion. They would arrogantly even make God bow the knee to their wishes for what eternity ought to be like as seen in their endless literary offerings. But now God is calling the willing to repentance and the realization He is Creator and Lord! His future and our existence in it are entirely of His will and plans. Repent therefore, those that are guilty and sober up. It is not about you, but Him! The Kingdom of God and all He has planned for us including a complete bodily metamorphosis are in Christ and at the door! In this fact, faithful saints waiting in faith to know all rejoice (1 John 3:1-3)!

The Body Beautiful, Pt. 1
On May 18, 2014 in God's Creatures by Robert Kelley Robert Kelley

            My ever so brief discussion of God’s planned radical metamorphosis of the saint’s mortal, human body to conform to Christ’s own immortal, glorified body at the resurrection in my book, The Strong Man Of God, has aroused some objection. Evil and dishonest motives in some of the objection notwithstanding, no doubt a major reason what I discuss in the book from Scripture about the human female body in particular might cause some honest concern is because of how deeply tied to this present, mortal age culturally and carnally many professing Christians are. Such persons impose their wishes derived from their present age experience on God’s planned future.

 
             I and any Christian with a biblical worldview joyfully accept the testimony of Scripture that the initial sinless, mortal bodies of Adam and Eve were designed and created by God with purpose in mind (Genesis 1:26-28, 2:7, 21-25, 3:20, 5:1-2; Matthew 19:4-6). Afterward, God judged His own work as “very good,” (Genesis 1:31, NKJV). Now, if God judged that His creature in a body was “very good,” who am I or anyone else professing to be a Christian to come along to judge otherwise as a group of old called the Gnostics once did? Thus, I have not so judged and anyone that says I have after reading my book is thoroughly mistaken at best; willfully lying at worst!
 
            Just because you may not have considered what I have written in my book before, does not mean that it is to be rejected out of hand or have you apart from clear instruction from Scripture become the final judge of spiritual truth and falsehood? So, why am I convinced of Scripture and its perfect interpreter, the Holy Spirit that the divinely planned metamorphosis of the human body is not going to entirely preserve some of its present mortal equipment and corresponding functions intact? You will have to get a copy of my book available on this Web Site (and beginning on July 1st wherever books can be purchased) to read my discussion of the matter in full.
 
            However, in a few words, consider the Creator’s priority purpose for the human body in this mortal age--procreation (Genesis 1:27-28).  God designed and equipped the male and female bodies in form and function for their respective roles in procreation. Now, males have testicles that produce a hormone (chemical) called testosterone that drives their desire to have sex and sperm to prospectively lead to successful procreation. Female bodies are made to and also produce hormones that attract male interest in sex. They are also driven by hormones to have sex leading to procreation through a unique seed and reproductive system God designed for that very purpose.
 
            Too, women are also equipped bodily with enlarged breasts containing milk sacks to immediately feed their children after birth and are wired in their brains to nurture. All of this has been done in the bodies of males and females by God to accomplish His purpose of procreation in this mortal age. Indeed, God’s purpose of human procreation could have gone on forever if Adam had not sinned and been banished from Eden; kept from “the tree of life,” (Genesis 2:9, 16-17, 3:17-24, NKJV). Now, because of sin in the body and the death it brings, procreation and all that pertains to it in human relationships and body function are temporary for this present mortal age only.
 
            God has also announced through His prophets, His Son, Jesus Christ and His apostles that He is doing away with this present mortal, creation and creating a new, eternal order where glorified immortals will live and serve Him in righteousness (Isaiah 65:17-19; John 14:1-6; 2 Peter 3:10-13; Revelation 21:1-8). The Lord Jesus plainly and directly is quoted as teaching in three of the four Gospels that marriage (which in God’s program is His permitted context for sex and procreation) will not continue into the resurrection to immortality (Matthew 22:23-33; Mark 12:18-27; Luke 20:27-40). Therefore, clearly, a bodily upgrade to function in the ways suited to God’s purposes and plans in the new eternal creation is coming also.
