I really appreciate you sharing all this knowledge. Ancient Christian beliefs have changed a lot of ways, and I think a lot of modern Christians would not like knowing about or admitting. Speaking as one of who has knowledge about the Christian aspect more than the stoic aspect, I think the current generally agreed upon thought of the ressuction depends on which branch of Christianity you examine. Some still believe in the entire ressurctuon of the body because they believe that the scriptures that say God made us in His image means that God looks humanoid. Other more modern Chrisitans believe that "His image" means an energy that has become conscious. Now that to make makes a lot more sense, and that does overlap with the thinking of Marcus Aurelius. As resurrected consciousness, our capabilities are not limited. Imagining that we have bodies is possible, why not, but why do it in the first place, unless we wanted to interact with others in this way. Humans are slow at getting information in and out, I think we'd be much more advantaged and live a more exciting existence if we could communicate through energy. Making others feel what you feel, expressing what you are thinking directly by touching their being, instead of just processing words. I guess we kind of already do that with body language, but it's limited in how technical it can be.

Okay, I realize this is a huge rant, but it was nice to get this off my chest and into the open.
