Heavenly Body Definition of 1 Corinthians 15:49
There is some discussion on the rendering of the heavenly body definition of 1 Corinthians 15:49 in the Greek. The discussion arises out of the rendering of one letter in the Greek. It’s the letter “o”. The difference between the Greek and the English is that the Greek has two letters which are rendered “o”. One is the letter “Omicron” (short o) and the other is the final letter of the Alphabet, Omega (long o). These two letters can significantly change the meaning of a word, particularly in this case, the tense.

Many are interested in the resurrection. It continues to be the most challenging topic for those seeking to understand the consummation of the end times message. Gordon Fee, Professor emeritus of New Testament studies in British Columbia, UK, has written some very powerful statements affirming ...

The Body Is Sown In Corruption
In the study of eschatology, the resurrection of the body is the subject of heated debate. Perhaps because we are so inseparably connected to our bodies, we are deeply invested in what happens to them in what is called the end times.
Expositors generally take it for granted that bodily resurrection is about the transformation and morphing of our physical bodies into spiritual ones. This is not the subject of our current study. In this segment on the body is sown in corruption, we will focus on the sowing in continuation from our first article. See ...
