John 6:63 It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
This is the main reason why its (almost) pointless to talk about prophecy or eschatology. It seems like everyone is deliberately fantasizing to me.

"But he who is spiritual judges all things, but he himself is judged by no one." 1 Corinthians 2:15--this apparently means that, first they dis-robed from their flesh-bodies... [??]
"And I, brothers, was not able to speak to you as to spiritual, but as fleshly--as to infants in Christ." 1 Corinthians 3:1--so this apparently means they must first dis-robe from their physical bodies so Paul can then speak to them in the manner (and with the content/substance) he desires... [??]
"If anyone considers himself to be a prophet or spiritual, let him recognize that the things I write to you are the commands of the Lord." 1 Corinthians 14:37--this apparently means that invisible [body-less] people were hovering around the group, and Paul was addressing THEM (as the only ones capable of "recognizing" such)... [??]
"Brothers, even if a man should be caught in some trespass, you the spiritual ones restore such a one in a spirit of gentleness, considering yourself, lest you also be tempted." Galatians 6:1--this apparently means I must aspire to being "body-less" (dis-robed from my physical body) before I can minister to that guy adequately (and that "temptations" remain possible for me, in that state)... [??]
Pretty sure you didn't even mean something like this ^ , but I *have* heard the argument that "flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God" (1Cor15:50) so therefore there is no future earthly kingdom, they say...
