What about the SECOND COMING

“And you, in putting them [departed souls] in heaven, hell, and purgatory, destroy the arguments wherewith Christ and Paul prove the resurrection . . . And again, if the souls be in heaven, tell me why they be not in as good [a] case as the angels be? And then what cause [or reason] is there of the resurrection?”

William Tyndale - 1530 (An Answer to Sir Thomas More’s Dialogue, Book 4, chap. 4).
