In 1 Corinthians 15, Apostle Paul is describing with what kind of body the resurrection is.
1 Cor 15:35
35 But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
KJV
And he said the resurrection is to a "spiritual body"...
1 Cor 15:42-44
42 So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43 It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44 It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
KJV
As regarding Christ's Church, that resurrection body is only for the 'asleep' saints of 1 Thessalonians 4 that have already died in Christ, right?
So where does that leave Christ's saints that are still alive on earth at His 2nd coming? Paul called all this a mystery, and he said this to include the alive saints...
1 Cor 15:51-52
51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
KJV
Paul said we shall not all sleep, meaning we will not all be resurrected from the dead like the 'asleep' saints will be, yet we ALL shall be changed.
Changed to what? Just what... are the saints still alive changed to when Jesus comes?
1 Cor 15:35
