Question

Help answer this question below.

The Nicene Creed refers to "resurrection of the body." I.e. the body will come back to life when Christ returns. Where did the idea shown in cartoons come from, where the spirit rises from the body immediately and goes up to heaven to meet St. Peter?

    The deep recesses of the mind of Disney. However, the resurrection of the body speaks of some future event coinciding with the end of time (or at least that is what many people believe, since it seems readily apparent believers don't immediately pop back up...)

    • Sure, if you want to take a cultural euphemism and project it over reality.
