The seed dies. So also does Resurrection of the Dead come via physical death. The inner life contained in a seed AT DEATH is activated and it grows to become a NEW BODY, not the body that was sown (1 Cor 15:36-37). The natural body is the seed that dies. The spiritual body is the Apple Tree. The natural body is the seed that dies. The spiritual body is not another seed but is an apple tree -- a NEW BODY THAT GOD GIVES. A body that comes from Heaven (2 Cor 5:2). Hallelujah. It is raised a SPIRITUAL BODY (1 Cor 15:44). The body which you sow is NOT the body that shall be (1 Cor 15:37). But GOD GIVES IT A BODY (1 Cor 15:38). As we have borne the image of the earthly, we shall also BEAR THE IMAGE OF THE HEAVENLY. (1 Cor 15:49). The image of the earthly and the image of the Heavenly are totally different -- they have an entirely different physics. "For the things that are seen are temporal, but the things that are not seen are eternal" (2 Cor 4:18).Originally posted by The Messenger
but the seed itself TURNS INTO the apple tree, that is why if no seed is planted, no tree grows...correct?
As we have seen from close comparison of Romans 8:14-25 to Galatians 4:1-5:5, they were not at all yet redeemed from the Law but were desperately struggling to get free from it and escape the wrath upon the Torah-for-righteousness Jews that killed millions in AD 66-70. Paul and the early Christians were groaning to get free from the bondage of corruption (The Law of Moses) that they might enter into the glorious liberty of the post-AD70 Church -- an Israel that was freed 100% from the bondage and corruption of the Law of Moses.Originally posted by The Messenger
first you have to have spiritual redemption, which Paul had before 70ad the release from the law he so plainly talks about.
