Mike,There is nothing in Scripture that states the new earth will be composed of spirit.

Quote (mikeboll64 @ June 02 2014,00:55)Quote (kerwin @ May 31 2014,13:48)Mike,You agree with Gene when you claim the Spirit can only rule the spirit of a man and not their body.  In the current world the Spirit does only rule the spirit and not the physical world.  In the current heaven the Spirit's rule is more extensive, as the bodies of a…[Read more]
