I think denying the resurrection is a totally different fish that discussing the nature of it. Paul was not really out to discuss the nature so much as to overcome carnal arguments that denied it period. Those were based on the idea that rotten bodies could not be raised. Paul called them fools as even he himself did not expect a "flesh and blood" body. My attempt here has been to dismiss those who recklessly charge that anyone who denies a "physical" resurrection is a "damnable heretic" That is far beyond anything that can be decided by scripture and is based upon an evil mentality of raw church authority. That I stand squarely against. Many differ in the areas of doctrine that are more difficult to determine for a certainty - but people who take it upon themselves to declare who is or is not damned upon such secondary matters is an evil work of discord and not of God. Proverbs 6:19 A false witness that speaketh lies, and he that soweth discord among brethren. There has been much of this on this thread. I do not say this about you - I am saying this about many who blindly support what the church has believed rather than listen to reason and look to scripture alone to understand what did (or will) happen. Some things are more 'easily understood' and some things MUST be understood to be SAVED but I have found that some things that I thought were quite plain and easy turned out to be utterly untrue when I actually looked earnestly into them. As for Robert - he does not show up as often as some of us but I am sure he will poke his nose in again :-) Brian
