[QUOTE="St_Worm2, post: 77487609, member: 511"] Hello again [USER=425478]@Tellyontellyon[/USER], you may find all of 1 Corinthians 15 an interesting read, since it speaks directly to some of the questions that you asked above. So, I will post it for you here (the bold/highlighted text is my doing). [INDENT=2][B][I][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua]1 Corinthians 15[/FONT][/SIZE][/I][/B][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I]The Facts of Christ's Resurrection[/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 1 Now I make known to you, brethren, [B]the Gospel[/B] which I preached to you, which also you received, in which also you stand, [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 2 [B]by which you are saved[/B], if you hold fast the word which I preached to you, unless you believed in vain. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 3 For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, [B]that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, [/B][/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I][B] 4 and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures[/B], [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 5 and that He appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 6 After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep; [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 7 then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles; [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 8 and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 9 For I am the least of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 10 But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 11 Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 12 Now if Christ is preached, that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead? [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 13 But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised; [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 14 and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 15 Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 16 For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised; [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 17 and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 18 Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 19 If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I]The Order of Resurrection[/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 21 For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 22 For as [B]in Adam all die[/B], so also [B]in Christ all will be made alive[/B]. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ’s at His coming, [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 24 then comes the end, when He hands over the kingdom to the God and Father, when He has abolished all rule and all authority and power. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 25 For He must reign until He has put all His enemies under His feet. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 26 The last enemy that will be abolished is death. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 27 For HE HAS PUT ALL THINGS IN SUBJECTION UNDER HIS FEET. But when He says, “All things are put in subjection,” it is evident that He is excepted who put all things in subjection to Him. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 28 When all things are subjected to Him, then the Son Himself also will be subjected to the One who subjected all things to Him, so that God may be all in all. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 29 Otherwise, what will those do who are baptized for the dead? If the dead are not raised at all, why then are they baptized for them? [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 30 Why are we also in danger every hour? [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 31 I affirm, brethren, by the boasting in you which I have in Christ Jesus our Lord, I die daily. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 32 If from human motives I fought with wild beasts at Ephesus, what does it profit me? If the dead are not raised, LET US EAT AND DRINK, FOR TOMORROW WE DIE. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 33 Do not be deceived: “Bad company corrupts good morals.” [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 34 Become sober-minded as you ought, and stop sinning; for some have no knowledge of God. I speak this to your shame. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 35 But someone will say, “[B]How are the dead raised? And with what kind of body do they come?[/B]” [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 36 You fool! That which you sow does not come to life unless it dies; [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 37 and that which you sow, you do not sow the body which is to be, but a bare grain, perhaps of wheat or of something else. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 38 But God gives it a body just as He wished, and to each of the seeds a body of its own. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 39 All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one flesh of men, and another flesh of beasts, and another flesh of birds, and another of fish. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 40 There are also heavenly bodies and earthly bodies, but the glory of the heavenly is one, and the glory of the earthly is another. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 41 There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for star differs from star in glory. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 42 [B]So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown a perishable body, it is raised can imperishable body[/B]; [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 43 i[B]t is sown in dishonor[/B], [B]it is raised in glory[/B]; [B]it is sown in weakness[/B], [B]it is raised in power[/B]; [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 44 [B]it is sown a natural body[/B],[B] it is raised a spiritual body[/B].

[/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 46 However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural; then the spiritual. [/I][/FONT][/SIZE][/INDENT] [INDENT=2][SIZE=5][FONT=book antiqua][I] 47 [B]The first man is from the earth[/B], [B]earthy[/B]; [B]the second man is from heaven[/B].
