#12091 Would Jesus Have Multiple Bodies If He Incarnated on Other Planets? - Jimmy Akin


Listen Later

If Christ took on flesh in multiple alien worlds, would He have more than one glorified body? Would He sit on multiple thrones? Jimmy Akin explores this fascinating theological question and answers more on baptism, the death penalty, and even the mystery behind his own accent change!
Questions Covered:
02:34 – I have a weird question for Jimmy. What happened to Jimmy between episode 314 and 315? The YouTube video on “The Soul of Frankenstein’s Monster” is an audio only version with no camera; Ominous to say the least. In episode 316, we once again see Jimmy, but now he dawns a white cowboy hat. There was mention of a move back to the Ozarks and this is where my questions emerge. There is a distinct change in Jimmy’s pronunciation of words, especially with words ending in “ing”. Jimmy now pronounces words with “ing” with a more redacted “in”. Was Jimmy abducted? Are the Borg involved? Has there been an assimilation? Has Jimmy employed A.I. in his likeness and asked the program to represent him in a more western fashion? Does the hat have influence over Jimmy’s dictation? Is there somethin’ in the water in Arkansas? Does Jimmy have an identical twin who has taken over? I mean no offense by my question Jimmy. The change in dictation was very noticeable and weighs on my mind when I listen to episodes now. Settle the matter and remove the perplexation! God bless and thank you for the entertainment and enlightenment. 
06:44 – If the Son incarnated on multiple alien worlds and ascended to the right hand of the Father from each, would he have more than one body in Heaven? If so, would He have multiple thrones? 
13:30 – Hello Mr. Akin + Cy Cellet My question is… How would you go about Baptizing “The White Witch” from the book “The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe” by C.S Lewis set in Narnia? Big fan of the work you do! Also, how would you go about Baptizing “The Wicked Witch” In “the wizard of Oz ” given her “allergic” reaction to water. Big fan of you guys; keep up the great work. 
16:13 – I understand the church teaches that the death penalty is inadmissible. My understanding is that this is because modern society has the means and resources to process dangerous criminals without the death penalty (correct me if I’m wrong). My question: let’s say that a group of humans were surviving on an island cut off from the world and they established a primitive society with their laws to help them survive. In this situation, they wouldn’t have the means and resources that modern society has to deal with dangerous criminals. Could they morally administer the death penalty in certain circumstances, or would they have to follow the current teachings of the magisterium? What ethical considerations would they have to take into account if they were to administer the death penalty? 
21:35 – Do criminals with psychopathic disorders have free will?  If their free will is compromised by their psychopathy, does that mean that they are not fully accountable, even if their crimes are heinous? Also, what’s up with the Holy House of Loreto?  Is it legit? 
30:21 – If Adam did not eat the fruit, what would it mean for the fall and original sin if only one parent ate the fruit? 
33:51 – Genetic enhancements on human embryos are clearly immoral because it kills them, but would it be permissible to modify your own germinal tissue (which produces gametes) to not transmit flawed genes to your offspring? 
38:33 – Do ghosts watch zombies walk around and scream at their bodies for doing dumb things like fall in a manhole or walk into a glass door? 
44:57 – If a priest goes to a bakery and consecrates all the bread, would those bread now become the body and blood of Jesus? 
47:00 – Will our resurrected bodies wear clothes? 
51:00 – If two people were
