Re: [asa] Physicalism and Incarnation

For what it is worth, I understand the promise of a "new heavens and
a new Earth," and the clear promise that the Creation is included in
God's redemptive plans, as indicating that our redeemed future is
very much a physical future. It is of course that and more. The
image in Revelation of the Holy City coming down to Earth where God's
dwelling will now be with humanity, also reinforces this impression.
Thus, I think that Christ's resurrection body and ours will also be a
physical one -- though more than physical. There is continuity
between this Creation and the future. This continuity is also
important for the idea of Creation care.
