They are not studying how to resurrect themselves. I thought the whole of Christianity was about eternal life in another celestial world. That's what they are doing there.
"Their way of cheating is not that you don't die but that you die but not stay dead." That is resurrection dieing but not staying dead.
Christianity as far as I know is all about life after death yes. The body dies and then rots but the soul lives on in another dimension..Heaven or Hell or if one is Catholic there is purgatory.
Christianity is about resurrection at the end of the world as far as I know. Even if it is about life in another dimension it is still about not staying dead after death? Living in another dimension is not dead.
But death isn't cheated because the body dies and does not continue on. The soul leaves the body to carry on wherever it goes. Body is still dead though.
They believe that the body will be resurrected though. The very ending of their creed is "I look for the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen." Like Jesus was resurrected together with his body, they believe people will be too in the end. Those will be 'renewed' bodies but they will be their bodies nonetheless.
