If the physical body is not raised "then Christ is not raised from the dead and we are false witnesses".
Look in the tomb of where the stone was rolled away - His physical body is not there.................
Read again the scripture more carefully - there must be to have the raising of the actual dead before it is transformed into the immortal.
read again 1 cor ch15 and Isaiah ch26 = there will be empty graves where once there were dead bodies/bones
REMEMBER: Jospeph proiphesied to Israel = Take my bones with you when you Exodus Egypt
Joseph wasn’t teaching doctrine of the resurrection is the thing Paul is.
what did you think of what Paul says about how one is raised up ? Is he a false witness ? We both agree the dead are raised scripture says plainly there is a natural body and a spiritual body .
consider what he’s saying “ how is one raised from the dead ? With what body do they come ? “
“But
some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come? ( the apostle Paul is now going to answer that question for us )
Thou fool,
that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die: and that which thou sowest,
thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: but God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.
There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars:
for one star differeth from another star in glory.
So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: it is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body.
There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.”
1 Corinthians 15:35-38, 40-44 KJV
a physical body is made to live on the physical earth its
temporary like the present earth. it begins to die from the moment we are born until it expires .
This is why we need to be born of the spirit of Christ and be baptized into his body on earth. That’s our spiritual body being born within.
because the physical natural body made for this life on earth is going to die again like a seed has to die and expire it’s existence and the seed no longer exists it has served its purpose or a plant can never grow from it.
That is the appointment we have with death every man dies a natural death but we also have a spirit that lives.
the spiritual body is made to live in heaven with the lord and later on the new earth.Flesh and blood is created from and made to live on earth in the natural.
a natural body can’t live in a spiritual kingdom. The natural is made for this earth and short life of dying , it gives us time to find the lord and be born of the spirit anew . what is raised is eternal and made to live in Gods presence that spiritual that the lord gives us through the gospel of his eternal kingdom.
Being born of the spirit is the beginning of our new life and forms a spiritual body when we die. Again like a seed does and wheat grows from it. The wheat isn’t the seed but the seed has to forst exist and then be planted and die or the wheat can never be
So is the method and form of the resurrection of the dead.
I would say paul explains this part pretty well
“Therefore we are always confident, knowing that,
whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: we are confident, I say, and willing
rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him.
For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive
the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.”
2 Corinthians 5:6, 8-10 KJV
we live in a body it’s not who we are we are a spirit inside, like a man in a temple. We are the inner man this body is like a vehicle we travel through this life in.
we’re going to leave this aging and dying body behind and live in the spirit with the lord. Where he is. There’s another realm after this one we pass through the natural with this natural body and enter into the spiritual only after we die.
“And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:”
Hebrews 9:27 KJV
it’s only when the natural dies that the spiritual will come forth. The seed is never returning though it’s served it’s purpose when it dies.
