The statement
1 Corinthians 15:16
":For if the dead rise not, then is not Christ raised: "
Is not about the nature of the resurrection but about the fact.

Some men were denying any resurrection at all - not just questioning
the nature of it.

Paul is using an argument that comes against there doctrine of there
being absolutely NO RESURRECTION AT ALL.

My reference to "Christ being the exception" was about the nature of it
not about the fact of it.

We both agree there was/will be a resurrection of the dead.

It was said of Christ that "He would not suffer corruption"

That is the exceptional promise about his particular resurrection

To any who would suggest that there is NO RESURRECTION

I would use the same argument - that they must also deny that Christ was risen.

Do you see the difference?

also except it die is to perish.

Have you not heard the expression the seed analogy
concerning 1Cor 15?

An analogy almost always fails at some point - it is an analogy.

To take the words "it is planted" the way you do is beyond
what Paul was teaching - it was an analogy.

Humans are not seeds that are planted in some garden :-)
