15. Flesh and Blood
Manage episode 372128438 series 3473928
In 1 Corinthians, Paul is describing the resurrection body - of Jesus' and of our own - and he quite definitively states that it is a 'body'. And yet in verse 50 he states "Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God." So what does that mean in light of what he was saying about a resurrected body? Is that body immaterial or ethereal or 'spiritual'? This episode, based on a paper I presented at a recent theological conference, explores different ways this verse has been interpreted in different historical contexts.
