Thesis: Paul exposes inconsistency of Christian practice vs Christian belief using the Corinthians handling of the Resurrection as an example. Then he moves to the reality of bodily resurrection.
2. PAUL AFFIRMS RESURRECTION (v. 32b) * Implications: if not real, then do whatever you want before you die. * No resurrection = Ecclesiastes - vanity of vanities
3. REAL RESURRECTION ISSUE (vs. 33-34) * Bad influences, heresies, lack of knowledge of God * Need consistent biblical teaching * lack of intimacy with Christ
1. TRANSFORMATION ANALOGIES (vs. 35-41) * All religions believe in afterlife - issue is a physical/bodily afterlife. * Paul appeals to creation to illustrate redemption: * Sowing a seed * Varying types of "bodies" in Universe
2. RADICAL TRANSFORMATION (vs. 42-44) * sowing analogy yields: - perishable to imperishable - dishonor to glory - weakness to power - natural to spiritual physical body
