<p>15:35 <i>But someone will say: How are the dead resurrected? And with what type of body do they come forth?- </i>Where and when and how the salvation of the Father and Son will be finally manifested and outplayed isn't the most important thing. The <i>essence </i>of their salvation is what needs to concern us. Tragically Bible students have all too often been like the foolish questioner Paul envisages in 1 Cor. 15:35; he was preoccupied with <i>how </i>the body would come out of the grave, rather than on the essence of the fact that as we sow now, as we now allow God's word to take root in us, so we will receive in the nature of the eternal existence which we will be given at the judgment. I'm not saying that how we are raised etc. is unimportant; but it's importance hinges around its practical import for us. All too easily we can bat these questions around with no attention to their practical relevance for us.</p><p>I mentioned earlier that the only group mentioned in the NT as denying the resurrection were the Sadducees; and these objections from &quot;someone&quot; were typically theirs. Clearly Corinth were under the influence of Judaism, and particularly from the Sadducees who hated Paul because he had been born a Pharisee. I have mentioned throughout commentary on Titus and also here on Corinthians that such Judaism was strangely attractive to immoral, immature Gentile Christians who likely had never read the Mosaic law. Because a few acts of ritual obedience apparently freed them up to continue an immoral life in other areas.</p>
