There are three reasons that I know of that make people NOT want to be changed bodily in order to inhabit celestial realms. In fact, some believers (and non-believers, I suppose) so badly DON'T want
to be taken from the earth that they will torture and twist the simplest words, hoping to make these words mean something other than what they obviously do. The place where this happens the most in 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17. Yes, the famous "snatching away" ("rapture") passage.
