#12092 Did Jesus’s Guardian Angel Have the Easiest Job Ever? - Jimmy Akin

55 minutes

With Jesus being perfect, did His guardian angel have an easy assignment, or was there more to it? Jimmy Akin explores this curious question and tackles more topics, including the nature of Hell, the resurrection of the body, and what would happen if Rome became uninhabitable.

Questions Covered:

01:08 – I’ve heard some folks claim that Hell is where God isn’t present, but isn’t that impossible if God is omnipresent?

10:42 – Did Jesus’s guardian angel have the easiest job?

16:03 – I have a question on resurrection and whether resurrection requires our bodies to be the same as our earthly bodies. I recently finished a fictional story (Jojo’s Bizarre Adventure: Steel Ball Run) where the characters receive powers from having some interaction with the Body of Christ. The story takes place on an alternate earth though the story of Christ is mostly the same save for the fact that He resurrected but that His corpse remains. This is very likely that because the author is Japanese he does not know the specifics of Christian theology. This made me wonder if the resurrection of the body requires the same earthly body that died. Or could God possibly create a new body for us our heavenly bodies?

22:08 – My daughter wants to know: what would happen if you dropped a skyscraper-size piece of tungsten onto a nuclear armory (where they are stored), would all the bombs go off? How big a fallout would it be? And would it be a deterrent for nuclear weapons?

36:30 – Assuming that Nephilim is literally the result of human women somehow mating with fallen angels, what sort of nature would they have? Could they be baptized?

42:27 – Is there a scientific reason behind automatic writing? What might be happening outside of supernatural causes and assuming no mental health issues as well?

52:34 – Where would the Pope go if Rome was nuked with a nuclear bomb designed for maximal radiation damage over an area? The Vatican is largely intact but is rendered unlivable for millennia due to fallout. Would the church make a new St. Peter’s Basilica? Would the bones of the martyrs in the city of Rome be relocated if the area around the reliquaries is too radioactive to enter?
