Some teach that all that matters is your spirit and not your body. Run far away from this kind of teaching!

If sin didn't matter, Jesus would never have been nailed to a cross for you. It's essential that you have a correct understanding of the Gospel.

As Pastor John just mentioned today, our bodies aren’t meant to go to the great depths of the ocean, without a physiological response. Your ears plug, and extra breathing apparatuses are required - to go places our bodies weren’t meant to handle. But in a hopeful way, God has some special work to do, when it comes to our heavenly bodies to come. Our human capabilities are incapable of handling heaven, so that means that God has in store an amazing masterpiece, crafting a heavenly body for each of us!
