Paul validated the truth of Christ’s resurrection by referring to more than 500 witnesses to whom Jesus appeared after he rose to life.

In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul responded to the Corinthians’ specific disbelief of and mistaken view about the bodily resurrection: “But someone will ask, ‘How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?’” (verse 35). The issue was how the resurrection would work, namely what kind of body, if any, would those raised to life receive. The ...

In the first refutatio Paul showed the unacceptable consequences of denying the very notion of resurrection and thereby also denying the resurrection of Christ. Here he exposes claims that the future resurrection of the “body” is unintelligible and unbelievable as indefensible and untenable.
May 20, 2020 · There is some sense in which our souls will be “unclothed” at the loss of our physical bodies (2 Corinthians 5:4), though the Bible doesn’t describe it in specifics. It may be a heavenly experience for us to be with the Lord, but we will be incomplete until we “attain the resurrection from the dead” (Philippians 3:11).
