"My temorary body is decaying at the same time, my inner being is being renewed day by day" (2 Cor 4:16).
Reading that verse makes me think of those who proclaim their doctrines when referring to a verse that says, "...with His stripes we are healed". Does that mean a person is healed temporary but still decaying and will die (will get sick too).
To me: This is not referring specifically to physical healing eternally , but to the spiritual healing of the disease of sin called eternal death. There's healing and wholeness in the atonement, but only as it comes to us in the fullness of salvation, when our bodies decayed, died and are glorified in His eternal Kingdom.
