[Brigham Young] I believe and know that no mans body changes in all his life - if the body changes in seven years I wonder what body that was, gotten by the Eternal Father born of the Virgin Mary and suffered for the sins of the world - put down in death and laid in the sepulcher by Joseph - it is the corruptible system that passes away the refined body stays - I am forty, I wonder which body will be resurrected - I have been long enough in this church to have two bodies, I would hate to have six or seven bodies for one spirit - I should be a kind of a monster - ... the refined particles stay and the corrupt particles flee away - Jesus Christ rose with the same wounds that he died with.

When the new heaven and the new earth come into existence in eternity, then and only then will the scars in Jesus' hands and feet and side be healed up and gone forever.
ReplyDeletethe scars in Jesus' hands are actually triangular-shaped holes from the common Roman nail or spike of the time.
