Belief in a post-mortem afterlife, where deceased Believers wait in Heaven in the presence of the Lord until the time of resurrection, has come under considerable attack in the past century, primarily from theological liberals, but now even from some purported theological conservatives. Even in our own Messianic movement, the idea that “going to Heaven when you die” is not a Biblical teaching, has gained much ground in various sectors, even though there has been little detailed engagement with the ramifications of such a view.
Is it not true that the image of God placed upon humans is just the capacity to rule Planet Earth?
I heard a Messianic teaching that advocated human beings were not made in the image of God? Can you explain this?
If humans and animals have the “breath of life,” would it not seem logical that both experience the same kind of death?
To what degree do you think the human consciousness is reliant upon the body and the brain?
