| Jun 2, 2016 at 1:30 | comment | added | Sam | Hi Dick, thank you for additional citation. However, simply from the wording of 1 Cor. 15 and Apostle Paul's pharisaic background, it is difficult to take that he believed in Jesus' resurrection "not bodily". Although I seriously doubt that he was advocating bodily resurrection for believers of which many teachers of the Bible are preaching. | |
| Jun 1, 2016 at 22:10 | comment | added | Dick Harfield | Hi Sam. I have added a further citation, from Mark Given, in partial answer to your questions. It appears here, and is the conclusion reached by many scholars, that Paul does believe that the resurrection of both Jesus and believers is spiritual. Paul seems unaware of the fact that Jesus rose bodily from the dead, which may be explained by him not having been in Palestine during the time of Jesus. Elsewhere, he writes of the resurrection and the ascension to heaven as if he thought they were the same event. | |

| Jun 1, 2016 at 19:46 | comment | added | Sam | Thank you for elaborations. Please clarify: did Apostle Paul believe in bodily resurrection of Jesus or the believers or both? If he did, why was he writing about spiritual resurrection. Furthermore, I believe 1 Cor. 15 is a teaching about Jesus' bodily resurrection, am I correct? Was Paul using the bodily resurrection as example to show the Corinthians that they would have resurrection although such would be a spiritual one? Is the scripture telling us that believers' resurrection is spiritual and NOT bodily? | |
