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 ...

Does A Corporate Collective Resurrection Body of Christ Supersede or Annul Individual Existence?
As the resurrection debate continues, several find a corporate collective resurrection body of Christ unappealing. For them, it overrides the individual body resulting in a loss of both individuality and personhood or identity. They believe that to be part of the corporate collective body merges them into "nothingness" insignificance and non-existence.
We offer the following texts to demonstrate that the corporate body of Christ does not supersede or annul individuality.
First Consider the Corporate Body of Marriage
Marriage, i.e. the coming together of two people as one, is a collective corporate ...

The Ten Commandments in the Bible
Ten Commandments from Mt. Sinai
I want to make a few observations about how some seek to separate the ten commandments in the law of Moses from the prophets to justify a future return of Christ.

"The Old Law which which is the things contained in the 10 commandments in ...

Daniels 70 Weeks Prophecy
Daniels 70 Weeks prophecy is critical in providing an understanding of the Little Horn of Daniel 7. Knowing that the end times prophecy operates within a time parameter can help to identify the meaning by assigning it to the proper historical period.
The abomination of desolation leading to the consummation by the war marks the end of the period. For the abomination of desolation, Jesus makes it clear that it refers to the historical time frame consummating in the destruction of temple in 70AD. Daniels 70 weeks prophecy terminates with this consummation.

Are These The Last Days?
For centuries it has been claimed that we are living in the last days. Are these the last days? What signs are there that one could definitively point to that marks our generation as the terminal generation? Some choose to use the newspaper headlines to get their clues.
Sensational stories always tend to move people emotionally especially when they are connected with the end times. Besides, can't we find plenty of examples to "prove" that evil men and imposters will grow worse and worse deceiving and being deceived? Does not the inspired apostle say this was a ...
