However, without the time, physical bodies cannot change. If the new earth contains physical bodies and is eternal, what are we going to be? Flesh statues incapable of moving?

Taht would thus mean the New Earth is not eternal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a physical body/place in the universe. Physical entities exist on it. It is not beyond space/time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
