What about Jesus, can his resurrection be reduced to what happened when he physically died? Larry must be consistent. If our physical death/resurrection is insignificant then Jesus physical death/resurrection is likewise insignificant. Especially if the two are one in the same as Larry contends. Thank God that everything changes at physical death!! Because my God is a God of the Living, not the dead.
What is so terrible contradictory among Preterists is there usage of Rev 14:13 "Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord from now on!’ ” It would seem physical death is unimportant, especially considering how they totally redefine death. BUT when it comes to showing what comes after the fulfillment, after 70AD, NOW the subject is changed back to physical death.
Larry Siegle "Resurrection cannot be reduced to what happens to a person at the point of physical death because to do so misses the point. BODILY stance before God has to do with forgiveness of our sins and not corruption of our flesh. Christians stand righteous before God BODILY (spirit, soul, body) and there is nothing to be "changed" beyond the physical grave. The leaving behind of the physical components of the human body is as natural as changing our socks and has absolutely nothing to do with our stance before God. Jesus is THE resurrection--the ONLY resurrection that matters is that which takes one from death into life.--LARRY SIEGLE"
