Re: [asa] Physicalism and Incarnation

I wish you would explain more about how your understanding of how a new
heavens and a new Earth, and the holy city, are related to your ideas of
personal eschatology.

Which comes first, do you interpret resurrection as physical, but more so,
because you are expecting a entirely new creation, or is it the other way
around? It seems to me that may be interpreting one unclear portion of
scripture with another unclear portion.
