First Corinthians 15 Consequence of Jesus' Death
ID:88007492
We continue our study of 1 Corinthians 15 to focus on the death of which Paul speaks in the chapter. A common view is that he refers to physical death and a resurrection of our physical bodies at some time future to us.
In our first lessons, we demonstrated that the chapter introduces the subject by referring to sin death. Our aim in this series of writings is to determine whether Paul maintains that focus throughout the chapter.
As we move forward in this current discussion, it's important to understand the next series of arguments ...

The Natural Man Does Not Receive Divine Revelation
In the first installment, we introduced the subject of the natural versus the spiritual from the two Greek words Paul used to discussed it in 1 Corinthians 2:14-16.
We will continue that study in this article. For those of you who may not be a subscriber, you can go to the blog at http://www.allthingsfulfilled.com/blog to find the post.
Quickly to review, we pointed out that the natural man was the person who rejected the revelation of God and who did not have the indwelling of the Spirit of God as it was poured out on ...

Identifying the Natural Man in Paul's Resurrection Motif of 1 Cor. 15
The subject of resurrection in 1 Corinthians 15 is hotly debated, controversial and even confusing to many. Much of the discussion centers around the type of body discussed in the chapter. What does Paul mean by the use of natural body and spiritual body? Many believe he speaks about a fleshly (human biology) body and versus a non-material body. How does he use the terms in 1 Corinthians.
While some begin their study of the resurrection in Corinthians in chapter 15, I have found it very rewarding to begin the ...

The Local Church Post 70AD?
What is the status of the local church post 70 AD? Some see no relevance for the local church after Christ's returned in the first century. They believe that the church only continued up to that point, claiming it was a Jewish institution. We dealt with that fallacy in the previous article on Israel's Hope - The Body of Christ. We strongly encourage you to look at some of the points we made.
Since we discussed the "body of Christ" in particular, our focus was on the church as the divine institution sent down from heaven by ...

The Kingdom of God and Resurrection
1 Corinthians 15 is butchered by most interpreters, especially the text regarding inheriting the kingdom of God, (v. 50). In this writing, I want to suggest another angle from which to consider the meaning of inheriting the kingdom so that the focus is not on human bodies coming out of graveyards. This view distorts the chapter and runs far amiss of what the apostle had in mind.
Flesh and Blood and the Kingdom of God
As we examine the context of 1 Corinthians 15:50, we should question why Paul uses the concept of "flesh and blood" as ...
