Resurrection and Duplication

Samael_Khan

Scenario:

- The personality of a person doesn't survive death (the soul isn't immortal)
- God retains the information of that persons personality in his memory.
- God imprints that information of the person's personality, which is stored in his memory, on the person's regenerated body or a new body at a later stage after they have died.

Would that be considered a resurrection or a duplication?
Might that dichotomy be false?

Sounds rather like restoring a cloud backup, not necessarily to the same device.

A soul is merely a persons personality?

I'd say that would be a duplication

Because although identical the two bodies in question (the one who died and the one who is the copy) would be made of different matter - they would be alike but not the same

God's imagination is our reality, the soul is God's memory of us, no body required.

Recreation?

Not duplication in the case memory is different from the original. Not resurrection since Jesus was resurrected and with body walked out of the tomb.

The Scripture uses sleep as an analogy for the dead who will rise again. When Lazarus was dead, all of his brain activity ceased. Jesus said Lazarus was sleeping and that he was dead. But when he was raised from the dead(awoken from his sleep of death) he was the same person.

When Jesus was raised from the dead Paul speaks of him as being High Priest who can sympathize with our weaknesses because he shared in them before he died. So it seems Jesus' memory had been fully restored.

I don't think brain activity ceases when we sleep.

If its the same information in the same body its possibly a ressurection, but in a new body it is just a copy.

But the bodies of people from thousands of years ago are mostly all returned to plant matter and recycled. Then there are those who are cremated etc. Then there is what I assume to be fact - that the same chemicals would be subject to the same process of decomposition that causes death in the first place.

So it doesn’t make sense in my opinion for the same physical body to be brought back to life.

The resurrected body is not the same nature as the mortal body. it's a divine nature not subject to the lust, sin and therefore death

2Pe 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.

When science human man owned life human says my human father already had his human image put into clouds seeing God earth mass converting owned image first.

Conversion image or vision mountain top UFO mass removal. He knew he was not first image as a man human.

Jesus said he gained his new modern day DNA man image into heaven image of cloud man instead of Moses. History the father human science invention life attacked.

Image man updated by genetic water oxygen microbe removal from ground as hot God stone removed it's deceased cold gases spirit out of it's stone tomb. Given to new cloud amassing.

Atmospheric saving of life as an accounted after the fact reason why it happened.

Flooding always involved in science converting mass thesis as science thesis taken from a flooded earth theme historic.

As I am not God. I do not own by bio form human energy for science to contact and use in a new fake satanic theory about electricity atmospheric heavens gases and bio cell presence origins.

Water with microbes existed in a non burning light history as God earth already owned it. Proof of which is life that can live in deep dark as earth heavens did once evolve to non alight.

Sun changed history bio life. Why you are wrong in your thesis as you were told that advice before.

God earth owned history of evolution of it's own planet.

God imprints that information of the person's personality, which is stored in his memory, on the person's regenerated body or a new body at a later stage after they have died.

If the information is merely imprinted on the regenerated body, does that mean the person doesn't have even a non-permanent soul?

In that case it is a copy, and all is lost for you as an individual.

Maybe the person is grabbed from the past just at time of death? Then they experience no waiting and rather than being destroyed and restored they are simply healed. Convenient!
