The Resurrection » Is not contrary to reason

1 Corinthians 15:35-49

But someone will say, "How can the dead rise? What kind of a body will they have when they come back?" You foolish man, the very seed you sow never comes to life without dying first; and when you sow it, it has not the form it is going to have, but is a naked kernel, perhaps of wheat or something else; read more.
and God gives it just such a form as he pleases, so that each kind of seed has a form of its own. Flesh is not all alike; men have one kind, animals another, birds another, and fish another. There are heavenly bodies, and there are earthly bodies, but the beauty of the heavenly bodies is of one kind, and the beauty of the earthly bodies is of another. The sun has one kind of beauty, and the moon another, and the stars another; why, one star differs from another in beauty. It is so with the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in decay, it is raised free from decay. It is sown in humiliation, it is raised in splendor. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in strength. It is a physical body that is sown, it is a spiritual body that is raised. If there is a physical body, there is a spiritual body also. This is also what the Scripture says: "The first man Adam became a living creature." The last Adam has become a life-giving Spirit. It is not the spiritual that comes first, but the physical, and then the spiritual. The first man is of the dust of the earth; the second man is from heaven. Those who are of the earth are like him who was of the earth, and those who are of heaven are like him who is from heaven, and as we have been like the man of the earth, let us also try to be like the man from heaven.

I admit that in worshiping the God of my forefathers I follow the way of life that they call a sect, but I believe everything that is taught in the Law or written in the prophets, and I have the same hope in God that they themselves hold, that there is to be a resurrection of the upright and the wicked.

and we are found guilty of misrepresenting God, for we have testified that he raised Christ, when he did not do it, if it is true that the dead are never raised. For if the dead are never raised, Christ was not raised; and if Christ was not raised, your faith is a delusion; you are still under the control of your sins. Yes, and those who have fallen asleep in trust in Christ have perished. If we have centered our hopes on Christ in this life, and that is all, we are the most pitiable people in the world. But the truth is, Christ was raised from the dead, the first to be raised of those who have fallen asleep.
