Episode notes
Non-recognition of Risen Jesus
- Disciples' failure to recognize the risen Jesus was likely supernaturally imposed, not physical change.
- This non-recognition symbolizes the transformed relationship with Jesus after resurrection and ascension.
Time and Condition in Eternity
- Psychological time differs from real time and is not a good analogy for the passage of time in eternity.
- The exact age or condition of resurrected people is unknown but likely reflects a perfected state free of defects.
Questioning Multiple Incarnations
- Simultaneous human and alien incarnations of Christ raise metaphysical problems, such as one person existing in two places.
- Medieval philosophers debated multiple incarnations; further study needed before a clear answer.
