We're told that a time is coming when God will restore everything. This is an inclusive promise. It encompasses far more than God merely restoring disembodied people to fellowship in a spirit realm. {Because living in a spirit realm is not what humans were made for and once enjoyed, it would not qualify as "restoring."} It is God restoring mankind to what we once were, what he designed us to be-fully embodied, righteous beings. And restoring the entire physical universe to what it once was.

The quote emphasizes the promise of a comprehensive restoration envisioned by God, which transcends merely reuniting disembodied souls in a spiritual realm. It argues that true restoration involves a return to our original state as embodied beings, operating within the physical universe as designed by God. This suggests that the human experience includes a tangible, physical existence, rather than an ethereal one, aligning with our intrinsic nature.

This restoration extends beyond individual souls to encompass the entire physical universe. According to Alcorn, God’s plan includes rejuvenating both humanity and creation itself, reinforcing the idea that the fulfillment of divine promise is rooted in a holistic renewal that honors our original embodiment and the physical world around us.

People pontificate, "Suicide is selfishness." Career churchmen like Pater go a step further and call in a cowardly assault on the living. Oafs argue this specious line for varying reason: to evade fingers of blame, to impress one's audience with one's mental fiber, to vent anger, or just because one lacks the necessary suffering to sympathize. Cowardice is nothing to do with it - suicide takes considerable courage. Japanese have the right idea. No, what's selfish is to demand another to endure an intolerable existence, just to spare families, friends, and enemies a bit of soul-searching.
