I prefer reasonable conversation to condemning people to hell. Besides, it works better of you want to convince someone.<BR/><BR/>Having said that, I agree that belief in the bodily resurrection of Jesus is complicated. On the on hand, according to the gospel accounts, Jesus eats and people touch him. On the other hand, people who know him well don't recognize him and he appears and disappears without walking or using the door! Clearly the gospel writers believed that there was something different about the resurrected Jesus that you just don't see in you average or even extraordinary live or dead person.<BR/><BR/>I think Paul had concerns in I Cor. 15 that are not our concerns. Pity isn't it? Paul wanted to deal with the issues of the churches of his day and not our issues. <BR/><BR/>I suspect that John and I will both have something to say about this.Pastor Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07787179002120424157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-20126533760046383802007-07-11T16:52:00.001-07:002007-07-11T16:52:00.001-07:00I thought the rapture posts were a hoot and apprec...I thought the rapture posts were a hoot and appreciated the rapture wrap-ups. My head is now spinning after reading Mr. Cambell's rebuttal. Hats off to him for disagreeing with you with wit, intelligence and style; some of the other regular detractors on your blog should be taking notes!Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13836922959782457029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30648257.post-80461592288263378222007-07-11T16:52:00.000-07:002007-07-11T16:52:00.000-07:00Wow.

Truly, this type of behavior would convince me to seriously consider an opposing viewpoint. He never attacked you, he just focused on the disagreements. <BR/><BR/>**the statement that Jesus rose from the dead can be evaluated on the basis of statements like that of Paul in I **<BR/><BR/>The whole concept of a bodily raised vs. not bodily raised has always interested me. Paul makes references in other places that the flesh and blood cannot inhereit the kingdom of God, so it would seem as though the resurrection was something more than bodily -- rather, the incorruptable that Paul speaks of. He also makes mention that he saw the risen Christ much like everyone else. Except Paul's seeing was a vision, and if he compares it to the other circumstances, it can also seem vision-like. Jesus was able to pass through walls. He was able to appear and disapear. All would suggest the body he had was something more than just physical. <BR/><BR/>I think, in defining bodily-resurrection, one must say what they mean by body. Purely physical, or something more?OneSmallStephttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08189124855157679020noreply@blogger.com
