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).

Resurrection of the Body and the End Times Framework
On Facebook, in the Preterist Perspectives page, we are discussing the resurrection of the body and the end times framework. Our aim is to determine whether this framework establishes the individual body at death (IBV) view or the covenant body (CBV). Which is the correct framework for eschatology.
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 ...
