Why are you trying to put words in my mouth? The only thing you explained here is that you have no reading comprehension skills whatsoever. I never said that I don't accept a physical (bodily) resurrection. Please take an online course on improving your reading comprehension skills.
No one said that.
Yes, we do. Where are you coming up with the idea that we don't? None of us have ever said that. Please learn how to read.
What would be the point of a physical resurrection, if you call the new body spiritual? That would be a mass spiritual resurrection, not physical.
You think the physical body is changed to a spiritual body. That would mean by your own terms it is no longer physical, but spiritual, whatever that means.
I pointed out that the soul leaves Adam's dead corruptible flesh which is temporal, and enters a permanent incorruptible physical body from God. That is a physical resurrection, because the body is still physical, not spiritual, whatever that means. You claim that is wrong, so your resurrection is not physical, but spiritual whatever you mean by that as you seem to imply it cannot be physical or you would use the word physical instead of spiritual.
Seems you just don't want to use the word physical in reference to the resurrection. Or you just want to be argumentative, and then accuse me of not understanding your post.
If the resurrection you claim is physical, you go way out of your way to agree with me, but insert the word spiritual as in total opposition to the word physical.
Paul never used the word spiritual in opposition to the word physical. Paul used earthly in opposition to heavenly. Carnel in opposition to holy. So it would be natural in opposition to spiritual. Never physical in opposition to spiritual. Either of the earth, or of God. Earth being the dead condition caused by sin.
The son of God includes both a physical body, and a spirit. And that spirit has form. Not just air as the Greek word means just air. The spirit that makes up the third part of this trinity is not air. That word was used because the Holy Spirit is likened to air. Surely no one thinks the Holy Spirit is just air.
The point is a son of God is 100% spiritual and 100% physical. Not one or the other. Physical is not the opposite of spiritual. Paul is saying the body from God is holy and perfect. That is also a definition of spiritual. Being of God is being spiritual. God is spirit. God is also light. One could say that body is light as well as spiritual.
Being planted into the ground as a seed is not literal, but figurative. A new body does not come out of the ground. In 2 Corinthians 5:1, Paul says that other body is from God in heaven, not from God from the dust of the ground, nor the old body changed into a new body from the ground.
The point Paul was making was that there is a totally different body, not the body that returns to dust. Even Jesus says the current body returns to dust. Jesus says let the dead bury the dead. God is not the God of the dead, but of the living. The soul does not return to a dead body, but a totally different body from God that is alive, not dead. No one is waiting for a resurrection of the old body. That is a misunderstanding that theology itself wrongly teaches every new generation. Theology takes Paul literally that the body is a seed planted in the ground and comes up some day as a new body out of the ground.
All Paul was pointing out that there is a new and different body. There is no resurrection of the old one. Those in Paradise are going to be gathered with bodies they already have and meet in the air between Paradise and earth, those from the earth, who are the only ones who need a new body.
