Speaker links denial of ethnic distinctions in resurrection to Originist heresy
What the video says
The speaker asks whether the presence of every tribe and tongue in the eschaton implies that human distinctions such as ethnicity and sex are erased in the resurrection, turning people into "grey goo." He identifies the view that identity and biology are lost as the Originist heresy.
He warns that suggesting the biological characteristics of the resurrection do not matter is Gnostic and Docetic. He argues that Christ assumed universal human nature through a specific Hebrew ethnicity, so if ethnic distinctions disappear, the prophecies concerning every tribe and nation cannot be fulfilled.
