[quote]Thank you for quoting explanation from the commentary again.

The key words in Phil 3:21 are those which I have italicized

[i] But our citizenship is in heaven. And we eagerly await a Saviour from there, the Lord Jesus Christ,[/i] who, by the power that enables him to bring everything under his conrol, [green] will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like his glorious body.[/green] (Phil. 3:20-21)

But the words that you have quoted from the commentary start with those words that I have colored green above. Perhaps, you have missed the part about the italicized words while copying and pasting the quote. The other problem is that you have said nothing about what you understand of the quoted passage. Anyhow, I think you are trying to assert that people will be raised on the Last Day to account and this verse also talk about the Last Day and thus has nothing to do with this world. Please correct me if I am wrong. I say you are right if this is what you are trying to stress. I however understand this verse as when Jesus Christ (pbuh) comes again and explain to the world that He is not God and thus bring the strayed people again into the monotheistic religion, their vile bodies will be transformed and in such transformed bodies, they will be raised to Heaven.

I would appreciate if you would say a word about the first italicized part of the verse and also my aforementioned understanding of the verse.

2. I have raised two other questions about your explanation, which you can see in my previous explanation. I hope you will shed some light on these.

3. There are other two verses quoted above, about which you said that you will be explaining these two as well. I sincerely and seriously hope that you or Mr Hassan--who asked me to quote the verses-- would say some words about them too. Thank you and Mr. Hassan for your cooperation for clearing up confusions on this issue.
