The Resurrection » Is not contrary to reason

1 Corinthians 15:35-49

But, someone will ask, 'how do the dead rise? What kind of body have they when they come?' Foolish man! What you sow never comes to life unless it dies. And what you sow is not the body that is to be; it is a mere grain of wheat, for example, or some other seed. read more.
God gives it a body as he pleases, gives each kind of seed a body of its own. Flesh is not all the same; there is human flesh, there is flesh of beasts, flesh of birds, and flesh of fish. There are heavenly bodies and also earthly bodies, but the splendour of the heavenly is one thing and the splendour of the earthly is another. There is a splendour of the sun and a splendour of the moon and a splendour of the stars ??for one star differs from another in splendour. So with the resurrection of the dead: what is sown is mortal, what rises is immortal; sown inglorious, it rises in glory; sown in weakness, it rises in power; sown an animate body, it rises a spiritual body. As there is an animate body, so there is a spiritual body. Thus it is written, 'The first man, Adam, became an animate being, the last Adam a life-giving Spirit'; but the animate, not the spiritual, comes first, and only then the spiritual. Man the first is from the earth, material; Man the second is from heaven. As Man the material is, so are the material; as Man the heavenly is, so are the heavenly. Thus, as we have borne the likeness of material Man, so we are to bear the likeness of the heavenly Man.

because it is not more than twelve days, as you can easily ascertain, since I went up to worship at Jerusalem. They never found me arguing with anyone in the temple or causing a riot either in the synagogues or in the city; they cannot furnish you with any proof of their present charges against me. read more.
I certainly admit to you that I worship our fathers' God according to the methods of what they call a 'sect'; but I believe all that is written in the Law and in the prophets, and I cherish the same hope in God as they accept, namely that there is to be a resurrection of the just and the unjust.

Besides, we are detected bearing false witness to God by affirming of him that he raised Christ ??whom he did not raise, if after all dead men never rise. For if dead men never rise, Christ did not rise either; and if Christ did not rise, your faith is futile, you are still in your sins. More than that: those who have slept the sleep of death in Christ have perished after all. Ah, if in this life we have nothing but a mere hope in Christ, we are of all men to be pitied most! But it is not so! Christ did rise from the dead, he was the first to be reaped of those who sleep in death.
