I must respectfully disagree with omega. I beleive that the unbeliever will be raise in carnal flesh, because that is what they were sown in at death. I belive that the fire that does not produce light, and the flames that burn without consuming into nothing. are the unfulfilled desires of the flesh. When the unbeliever faces God in judgment, the Lord will say so you want to be your own god eh? At that point He will give them there chance. He will cast them in outer darkness, and say, now create a world for your feet to stand on, create light for your eyes to see, create air for your lungs to breath, create a companion for your lonelness. Hell is to be raised in carnal flesh, placed in a reality where no provision is made, and the only thing to keep you company for eternaty is the realanization of unfulfilled lust and desires, and the lost oportunity to experiance God's love in the marrage bond of Christ and His Church.
