What is the Resurrection? Does God have a physical body?

To my mind, all Christians believe in a resurrection. That is, that Christ overcame death and was resurrected three days after his death and because of this we, too, will be resurrected.

Job is the first reference we have in the Bible asking the question “If a man die, shall he live again” (Job 14:14) , to which he later obtained an answer:  “For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God” (Job 19:25-26).

Being resurrected is different than being raised from the dead. Lazarus, for example, was raised from the dead–his spirit came back into his mortal body, whereas a resurrection means to become immortal, with a glorified body of flesh and bone. As we learn in the Bible and the Book of Mormon we will be resurrected to our physical bodies: “The soul shall be restored to the body, and the body to the soul; yea, and every limb and joint shall be restored to its body; yea, even a hair of the head shall not be lost; but all things shall be restored to their proper and perfect frame” (Alma 40:23).

The New Testament gives ample evidence that Jesus rose with His physical body: He ate fish and honey (Luke 24:42–43); He said He had flesh and bones (Luke 24:39); the people touched Him (Luke 24:39–40; John 20:25–29). One of the most fundamental doctrines taught by the Twelve was that Jesus was risen from the tomb, with His glorified, resurrected body. The Resurrection of Jesus is the most glorious of all messages to mankind. As our Lord has said, “Because I live, ye shall live also” (John 14:19).

Again, learning about His–and our–resurrection: “I say unto you that this mortal body is raised to an immortal body, that is from death, even from the first death unto life, that they can die no more; their spirits uniting with their bodies, never to be divided; thus the whole becoming spiritual and immortal, that they can no more see corruption” (Alma 11:45).

One thing that does seem controversial, however, is that God has a resurrected body of flesh and bones and looks like us. But why is this in doubt? I’ve just reviewed multiple scriptures that testify of it. We also know from scripture we were made in His image: “And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: … So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them” (Gen 1:26-27). Paul taught that in the Resurrection this will continue: “For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself” (Philip 3:20-21).

We also know we are literal children of God. As Paul teaches, “For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring” (Acts 17:28-29). Don’t children look like their parents? We know after our Lord was resurrected He looked like us. Furthermore, we know our spirits are in the likeness of the physical body as demonstrated in Genesis 2:5, and 1 Ne 11:11: “… for I spake unto him as a man speaketh; yet nevertheless, I knew that it was the Spirit of the Lord; and he spake unto me as a man speaketh with another.”

If our God does not have a body, as some Christians claim, what was the point of the Resurrection? Why would we be resurrected into gloried physical bodies like Christ was, only to shed it later? For those who believe we will only be spirits after this life, where is the justification for this, because it’s nowhere in the Bible. Did Jesus some how shed his physical body after reassuring his Apostles and hundreds of others that he has a perfect physical body that looks like us? There is no evidence of that at all. On the contrary, we are taught clearly that “The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s; the Son also; but the Holy Ghost has not a body of flesh and bones, but is a personage of Spirit. Were it not so the Holy Ghost could not dwell in us” (D&C 130:22).

To assume that somehow it’s better to only be a spirit than have a physical body is to cheapen and deny the significance of what our Savior did. One of the reasons we came to earth was to obtain a physical body!

I testify the Resurrection that Christ underwent and the resurrection that will occur for each of us is not temporary or fleeting, but permanent. God has a perfect, glorious immortal body and we will receive perfect bodies that will be immortal as well.

Wrath of the Righteous Power Builds: Alchemist Bomber Legend

I decided to share a build for those wanting to play an alchemist, and combine it with the Legend mythic path, which is one I’ve not covered yet. The benefits are many:  you will be able to combine two bomb archetypes, the Grenadier and the Arcane Bomber. I’ve written a post detailing changes to the Grenadier here and the Arcane Bomber here. The bomb damage will double, also will the uses per day! The DC for the bombs will be virtually unbeatable. Would you like effects as well as damage? How about knockdown, curses, and a massive dispelling ability (as if you were a lvl 40 caster)? Wielding melee or ranged weapons isn’t a problem, and you’ll also get spell support from both alchemist and wizard classes. So, to begin:

Build Progression

1. We will start with a Human Grenadier Alchemist. Human is just personal preference, you’ll have enough feats to go with any race you want. Tieflings, Vetala-born Dhampirs or Half-Orcs can all be fun to try. Background is Pickpocket for the initiative boost.

• Str 8 Dex 16 Con 12 Int 20 Wis 10 Cha 8, but there’s some flexibility here as long as your Dex and especially Intelligence are high.
• Skills:  UMD, the Knowledge skills, and Trickery and Stealth if you want
• Feats:  Point Blank Shot, Precise Shot, no surprise there
• Spells:  True Strike, Shield, Enlarge Person, Cure light wounds, Targeted Bomb Admixture, Bomber’s Eye, Reduce Person, Expeditious Retreat
• Deity:  We are going Trickster at first, so something compatible with chaotic good or neutral

2. Discovery:  Choking Bomb (primarily good in early game) or Infusion, I recommend CB

3. Feat:  Ability Focus Bombs

4. +Int every 4 levels. I take Infusion here. The Spell Animal Aspect: Gorilla is amazing if you are using pets

5. Extra Bombs. The spell False Life is great for survivability

6. Discovery:  Cognatogen. Spell: Lesser Restoration is nice

7. Feat:  Rapid Shot. Spell:  Haste

8. Discovery:  Fast Bombs, of course. Spell: Protection from Arrows Communal

9. Feat:  Extra Bombs. Spell:  Displacement

10. Discovery:  Force Bombs, which are awesome because knockdown is so powerful when so much of your party will get attacks of opportunity when they try to stand up. Spell:  Echolocation

11. Feat:  Improved Crit–Bombs. Spell: Greater False Life

12. Discovery:  Cursed Bomb or Dispelling Bomb. Curse of Deterioration is the best. Spell:  recommend Greater Invisibility

13. Since we’ve progressed in Trickster:  Improved Improved Critical (Bombs). Spell: Stoneskin Communal

14. Discovery:  Dispelling Bombs, cuz they are awesome, particularly against bosses. Spell:  Spell Resistance is great about now

15. Feat:  Improved Improved Improved Critical (Bombs). Spells:  Death Ward or Freedom of Movement

• You’ll be getting improved Intelligence as you progress in levels, which opens up new skills. Persuasion, Athletics,

16. Discovery:  Greater Cognatogen [Transformation].

17. Feat:  Improved Improved Improved Crit Improved (Bombs). Spells:  Legendary Proportions is awesome

18. Discovery: Grand Cognatogen (Dragonkind I)

19. Feat:  Metamagic, Completely Normal Spell. Spells:  Heal

20. Discovery:  Awakened Intellect, Any discoveries you want (greater mutagen is decent, it should stack)

21. Wizard: Arcane Bomber class. Your bombs will progress all the way up to 20d6.

• Skills:  Leave UMD at 20, you’ll never need higher
• Feats:  Spell Focus (Illusion, which makes spells like Weird more amazing), Opposition School (Necro, Conj, Ench, Evo), Acid or Cold Bomb

23. Feat:  Improved Initiative

25. Feat:  Extra Bombs, Greater Spell Focus Illusion (if you want more melee power instead of more bombs, then Power Attack and later on Imp. Critical Bardiche to improve Death’s Consonant if you like)

27. Feat:  Extra Bombs every time

30. Feat:  Spell Penetration,

35. Feat:  Greater Spell Penetration

40. Feat:  Metamagic (Heighten or Persistent Spell)

Mythic Progression

1 . Take Trickster at first, then switch to Legend when it opens up. Ascension: Close to the Heavens really benefits from your bonuses to ranged touch attacks. If this is a respec or for some reason are taking this much later in the game take Bit of Fun instead.

• Ability:  Ascendant Element – Fire. However at level 10 you will get Force Bombs so you won’t need to worry about fire damage at that point. If you are playing on Hard or Unfair, take Last Stand instead

2. Mythic Improved Critical (Bombs)

Equipment/Gear

Weapon:  Act 1: Glaives or Bardiches are all over the place in chapter 1. Later on, Death’s Consonant Bardiche. Alternatives include bows, the final being Killing Pace, and Quarterstaff of the War Mage

Gloves:  Twisted Temptation, strictly for the debuff to enemies’ Will

Boots:  Ronneck’s Sacrifice–check YouTube for how to obtain it

Helmet:  +Int

Quick Slot: Quicken Meta Rod, Grandmaster Meta Rod, Extend Meta Rod, Trusted Friend, Signet of House Vespertilio

 

Alright, that’s it for this build. I hope this is helpful for those wanting to try a Legend run, or looking for a good bomber build. Feel free to adapt however you like, and if you have any questions just ask! Check out my guide to rule changes and power builds here.

My thoughts on the Michigan/Purdue Big 10 Championship Game

Michigan, or “Mich-again” continues its dominance in the Big Ten by defeating Purdue 44 – 23. This is also the second Big Ten title in two years, as Michigan won it last year. This means Michigan extends its record to 13 – 0 this season, which incidentally is the first time Michigan has gone 13 – 0 in their history! That may come as a surprise given Michigan’s 11 national championship titles. Remember that the number of games required to win a national title has changed over the years. In 1997, for example, Michigan won the natty with a record of 12 – 0. For full highlights click this link, if you just want the significant Michigan plays click here.

There were some similarities to the Michigan/Ohio State game last Saturday. The game was close in the first half, with Michigan pulling away in the second half. Donovan Edwards again came up big, running for 185 yards (and won MVP for the game), while QB JJ McCarthy threw three touchdown passes and was able to scramble all over the place, to his credit. Purdue’s QB, Aidan O’Connell threw for 366 yards, which is huge number, but it didn’t result in a lot of points–similar to Stroud’s performance. O’Connell also threw two interceptions, just as Stroud did. Michigan even had something resembling a trick play to score a 2-point conversion.

Purdue head coach Jeff Brohm was able to exploit a weakness or two of Michigan however, namely their zone defense. O’Connell connected with one of the best receivers in the Big Ten, Charlie Jones, who had 13 receptions for 162 yards in an outstanding performance. The man could hardly be stopped from catching the ball, some of which was due to Michigan not adjusting to a man-zone mix until the second half. Purdue also pulled off a trick play–a fake punt–which netted some good yardage when they needed it.

JJ McCarthy is on his way to becoming the best Michigan quarterback since Denard Robinson, though he’s only a sophomore. He said something in the post-game interview that captures how the players feel about coach Harbaugh:  “… he really does love us like his own sons and he means that. That just means a lot, cuz a lot of college football coaches out there that think of their players as numbers, and he sees us for the human beings that we are.”

One thing I want to mention is the offensive line. This was not a pretty game for Michigan, but the O-Line held all game long, and in the second half they were almost bullying the other team, grinding them down. They allows no sacks and only one tackle for a loss, think about that! They are easy candidates to win the Joe Moore award again, which honors the best offensive line in college football.

Let me also mention the front 7, in other words Michigan’s primary defensive players. Even though Purdue tried to get the ball out as fast as humanly possible, Michigan still notched four sacks and five tackles for a loss. Purdue averaged only 2.4 yards per carry. Let’s not forget cornerback Will Johnson, who intercepted the ball twice and was one of the only guys who could shut down Charlie Jones. While they weren’t perfect in this game, this is one of the best defenses in all of college football.

This is a wonderful team, students that really care for and about each other. During RB Donovan Edwards’ brief interview on the stand right after receiving his MVP award, who did he talk about? “Blake Corum is the best running back in college football. He deservedly needs the Heisman, if he didn’t get hurt he would’ve easily won the Heisman.” That kind of selflessness says all you need to know about Michigan football.

Last year beating Ohio State felt great, and the Big Ten Championship was a dream come true. This year I think Michigan has a real chance to win the National Championship for the first time since 1997, and honestly the game with Purdue felt like it was another step toward that goal.

My thoughts on the Michigan/Ohio State beatdown

For those faithful followers of my blog that don’t know, I am a University of Michigan graduate. I am also a college football fan, and I’m sure you can guess my favorite team. Last year Michigan defeated Ohio State for the first time in nine years. They won in a dominant fashion, 42 – 27. They were briefly the hottest team in college football, but those in Ohio were doubters: “Stroud (Ohio’s QB) had the flu that week.” “It was snowing in Ann Arbor that day.” “Don’t forget the home field advantage.” “Michigan had 3 first round NFL draft picks on their defense.” For those wanting some great highlights of the 2021 game, here is a link. My favorite moments occur at 2:57 and 9:02.

This last Saturday we witnessed, for the second year in a row, Michigan flat-out imposing their will on Ohio State, demoralizing the team and the fans in Columbus especially during the fourth quarter. This year it was on their home field. The final score was 45 – 23. Here is a link to highlights from the game. For just the best Michigan moments, here is a link that will be less time-intensive. How epic was this win? The last time Michigan won in Ohio was the year 2000. The last time we beat them back-to-back was 1999-2000. The last time we beat them this badly in Columbus was 1976.

One may wonder how seriously Ohio State or Michigan takes this game, widely considered the greatest rivalry in college sports. To quote Bo Schembechler, Michigan’s most famous coach: “You owe it to every man, woman and child in the state of Michigan to beat the Buckeyes and silence their fans! Now go out there and make it happen.” For Ohio State, they would rather beat Michigan than win the Big 10 championship or even the national title. Think that’s an exaggeration? Here is a hype video OSU released this year, explaining exactly how they think. Also consider that Ohio fans currently want head coach Ryan Day gone. Yes, after Day led the Bucknuts to a 31-2 record in the Big Ten since taking over, Ohio fans want him fired. I find that hilarious.

Considering the circumstances of this year’s game, it’s not a surprise the Wolverines were an underdog. This year Michigan was at Ohio, in the horseshoe. Stroud is a leading candidate for the Heisman trophy. Ohio State had 14 5-star recruits to Michigan’s two. Our greatest offensive player, Heisman-nominated RB Blake Corum was injured and out. Our greatest defensive player, Mike Morris, was also out with an injury. Donovan Edwards wore a cast in his right hand for the whole game. The result? Michigan got an even more dominant win, with an even larger margin of victory.

And how many people witnessed Michigan do it? An average viewership of 17 million, peaking at 19.6 million people across the country witnessed Michigan deliver maybe the best win in college football this season on the 26th of November.

Some folks doubted quarterback JJ McCarthy:  he’s only 19, he couldn’t seem to throw well down-field, or pull off big plays. Those were put to rest as he threw for 263 yards and three touchdowns, including a 75-yard pass and running one in himself. Michigan’s passing offense hasn’t been stellar this year, but we proved that when stakes are the highest we rise to the occasion. How did OSU’s quarterback do? While Stroud threw for a lot of yards there weren’t many points to show for it. He also had two interceptions, which is one-third of the interceptions he’s thrown all season.

How did Michigan’s famed run game hold up? Remember former coach Urban Meyer said multiple times that “Ohio State will stop the run.” Blake Corum was out but Donovan Edwards stepped up. Even with a cast he ran for over 200 yards in the second half, including 75- and 85-yard TD runs. Defensive back Mike Sanrisil literally pushed the ball out of the hands of an Ohio State receiver in the end zone, in one of the best defensive plays I’ve seen. One Buckeye player, Gee Scott, got so frustrated halfway through the third quarter he followed a Michigan player out of bounds and deliberately head-butted him. Here’s the clip. Michigan even pulled off a trick play, where LB/RB Kalel Mullings threw a jump pass to Luke Schoonmaker on 3rd & 1, netting Michigan 20 yards.

Bruce Feldman, a 20+ year veteran college football reporter called it “the most memorable regular season game I’ve ever covered.” Here is a link to a 6-minute clip of him discussing why. We are quite possibly witnessing the birth of a new era. Michigan, the underdog both this year and last year against Ohio State, has had dominant victories. Not just wins. Dominance. With two consecutive seasons straight to the playoffs, here comes Michigan. Hail!

Wrath of the Righteous Power Builds: best Aeon build

It occurred to me that I have builds including the Angel, Lich, Azata and Trickster mythic paths, but not one for those interested in the Aeon path. Aeon is a cool path with terrific story elements (including rewriting historical events), the most powerful Bane ability and the most powerful dispel ability in this massive game. I’ll discuss the optimal build today, and review some of the best Aeon abilities.

This build gets full-scaling Judgment, which becomes essentially infinite uses of Judgment at mythic 1. Not only do you get one of the best pets in he game, but your Judgments get applied to them too! Free teamwork feats, martial weapon proficiency, and spell casting up to level 6. Not only is he a great combatant and buffer, as an Aeon he is the best debuffer in the game.

Build Progression

1. Hunter/Divine Hound. Background pickpocket for the +2 to initiative. Once again I will pick human but with this build you can pick whichever race you want (Archon-Blooded Aasimar or Devil-Blooded Tiefling would be very thematic). One thing to figure out is which weapon you want as the game progresses. Falchions, scimitars, rapiers or kukris are all great choices as they have a high critical range and that is key to optimizing this build. Arguably the best weapon in the game is a particular greataxe (The Grave Singer), so that’s what I will go with.

• Str 19 Dex 12 Con 14 Int 10 Wis 14 Cha 10
• Skills:  Perception, Lore Nature, Use Magic Device, any other
• Feats:  Power Attack, Cleave
• Animal Companion:  Dog, wolf is fine too
• Alignment:  Lawful Good or Lawful Neutral, Erastil is a good choice
• Recommended Spells:  Cure Light Wounds, Delay Poison

2.  Outflank. Spell:  Lead Blades, such a nice spell

3.  Cleaving Finish, Shake it Off. Spell:  Acid Maw

4. Always increase Str. Dog needs to increase Int to 3. Spells:  Lesser Restoration, Bull’s Strength

5.  Combat Reflexes. Spell:  Cat’s Grace

6.  Coordinated Maneuvers. Spell:  Sense Vitals

7.  Improved Intiative. Spells:  Unbreakable Heart, Greater Magic Fang, Protection from Energy Communal

8.  Spell:  Resist Energy Communal

9.  Weapon Focus: Greataxe, (or whatever 2-handed weapon you prefer) Back to Back (Seize the Moment is another option, but it seems it does not sack with Outflank anymore). At this point the teamwork feats you pick don’t matter that much. Spell:  Mass Feather Step is nice, or Natural Rhythm

10. Spell:  Echolocation, Inspiring Recovery

11. Improved Critical/your weapon. Spells:  Longstrider, Freedom of Movement

12. Coordinated Defense, but really whatever you want. Spell:  Animal Growth. If you don’t have Camellia as a companion, I’d pick this spell as early as you can

13. Dazzling Display. Spells:  Greater Chameleon Stride, Death Ward

14. Spells:  whatever you like, Effortless Armor can be nice, also Cure Critical Wounds

15. Shatter Defenses, which is a terrific feat in combination with Frightful Aspect spell. Spells:  Stoneskin is nice

16. Spells:  Mass Cat’s Grace, Mass Owl’s Wisdom

17. You can decide how you want to proceed from here. You may continue with Divine Hound, but we have practically everything we want from it. I will change classes and pick the Demonslayer Ranger for the great Favored Enemy boosts vs demons, and a BAB increase. Take the Boon Companion feat so you don’t lose any levels in your companion from switching

18. Here, take a Vivisectionist Alchemist dip for more sneak attack and mutagens to buff things like Strength. Spells:  Shield is nice, and True Strike if you like

19. Vivisectionist again, giving you Medical Discovery and for boosts to the Vivisectionist abilities you have. For feats, you have options: I recommend Metamagic (Selective Spell), but Accomplished Sneak Attacker, Feral Mutagen or Combat Trick also work

20. Vivisectionist once more, it’s a nice front-loaded class

Mythic Progression

1. Close to the Abyss for the extra damage. Ability: Everlasting Judgment, if on Unfair you might be better off with Last Stand instead

2. Mythic Power Attack, if on Unfair consider Mythic Improved Initiative instead

3. Ever Ready, Enforcing Gaze–Attack, as it stacks with Aeon Gaze. Spell: Divine Favor

4. Mythic Improved Critical for your weapon, Enforcing Gaze–Attacks of Opportunity

5. Mythical Beast or Last Stand or Mythic Charge, Enforcing Gaze–Damage

6. Mythic Improved Initiative or Power Attack (Mythic), Enforcing Gaze – Power of Law

7. Always a Chance

8. Several good choices here: Last Stand, Mythic Sneak Attacker, Mythic Weapon Focus, Mythic Charge or Unrelenting Assault. Enforcing Gaze – Temporal Jump

9. Take your favorite metamagic – Selective if you took it. Enforcing Gaze – Summoner’s Gaze

10. Whatever you like

Equipment/Gear

Weapon:  Act 1: Glaives or Bardiches are all over the place in chapter 1
Ch 2: Start riding your pet, Wide Sweep (scythe) is a cool idea, buy from Wilcer Garms
Ch 3+: Grave Singer Greataxe, or whatever favorite 2-handed weapon you chose

Neck:  Vellexia’s Magnifying Amulet

Chest:  Chainmail of Comradery

Shirt:  Any. Happy Traveler’s Shirt or Cloth of Heavy Fortification or Robe of the Seven Sins are some ideas

Belt:  Belts that enhance Str, then Str & Con, eventually +6 Physical perfection

Gloves:  Fencer’s Gift or Gloves of Phlebotomy or Gloves of the Deathdealer

Boots:  Expedition Boots, Boots of Stampede, Ronneck’s Sacrifice

Helmet:  +WIS or Wind Master Helmet, later Hat of the Bitter End

Goggles:  Broken Trickster or Lenses of Prolonged Gaze (Until they become obsolete due to Infinite Gaze)

Cloak:  Cloaks of Resistance, eventually The Bound of Possibility

Rings:  Ring of Imminent Demise, Ring of Guiding Star

Bracer: Bracers of Breaching or Bracers of Dominance into Bracers of Abrupt Onslaught

Quick Slot: Covenant of the Inheritor means you never have to worry about bypassing a demon’s DR, Lucky Dice are nice and last all day, any Extend MM rod is great to extend great Aeon spells like Perfect Prediction and Edict of Impenetrable Fortress, Quicken MM rods are great, the Old Grimoire gives you more spell slots

Best Aeon Mythic Abilities

• Your gazes are a staple of the Aeon mythic path and provide a variety of effects to your entire party
  • Enforcing Gaze–Attack is probably the most useful gaze. At mythic rank 5 you get to pick more; adding Attacks of Opportunity has terrific synergy with Attack, it scales better than practically anything and stacks with Ever Ready
• The Bane ability is great. It not only gives your weapon Bane for whatever you are fighting (an additional +2 atk +2d6 damage), but also dispels an effect for any hit from a weapon or spell you cast! The number of rounds per day stacks with inquisitor, but this is really an ability to use against bosses so you won’t be using it in every combat
  • At rank 6 your Aeon Bane becomes ridiculous. Not only does it become Greater Bane (an additional 2d6 dmg), but your dispel effect is equivalent to casting Greater Dispel Magic–dispelling every buff the enemy has! Obviously OP
  • At rank 9 Aeon Bane automatically dispels one effect, without a check
• Aeons gain excellent immunities as they level: poison, disease, confusion, bleed, all mind-affecting effects(!), and ability damage. Starting at mythic 7 he starts giving these immunities to his companions too. By the end you always roll 20 for initiative and saving throws against demons–ridiculous
• Aeons have unique mythic spells. Note that many of them are cast as swift actions, which is beautiful. I’ll detail the best ones:
  • Level 2: Crystal Mind: great for clearing bad effects
  • Level 4 is where they start getting good. Edict of Predetermination is great to cast on your enemies, reducing their odds of hitting you or making saves against your abilities
    • Perfect Prediction is terrific to buff your tanks
  • Level 5:  Zero State is possibly the best dispelling effect in the game, but it can hit your allies. Use Selective Spell to get rid of that annoyance
  • Level 6: Edict of Impenetrable Fortress is a great spell, granting immunity to damage
  • Level 7: Edict of Invulnerability is even more insane, as it has multiple effects
    • Perfect Form sets any ally’s stats equal to their highest stat. Do you want all 50’s for your stats? This is how you do it!
