Jadeitedrake0,

As to your summary of my beliefs, you still seem to be viewing this issue from the perspective of post-resurrection/glorification, and I must reiterate that I am attempting to refute a statement you made about the pre-resurrection, but post-death, state of the material component of your person, ie your body, and not attempting to draw any conclusion about the details about how God accomplishes the resurrection.

Look what happens if I apply your statements:
Quote
WHEN I DIE THAT CARCASE IS NOT ME ANYMORE
...
Sure, a corpse was a body at one time and thus, untill it completely decays, it will have some identity of what my body is. This identity posesses absolutely no importance conserning my body; that corpse is not my body.
to the following passage:

Quote
Joseph ... went in to Pilate and asked for

the body of Jesus.

44 Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time. 45 So when he found out from the centurion, he granted

the body

to Joseph. 46 Then he bought fine linen, took

Him

down, and wrapped

Him

in the linen. And he laid

Him

in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses observed where

He

was laid. (Mark 15:43-47 NKJV)

According to your logic, Mark should have written:

Quote
Joseph ... went in to Pilate and asked for

the body of Jesus (which was neither Jesus nor His body anymore).

44 Pilate marveled that He was already dead; and summoning the centurion, he asked him if He had been dead for some time. 45 So when he found out from the centurion, he granted

the body (which was neither Jesus nor His body anymore)

to Joseph. 46 Then he bought fine linen, took

that which was neither Jesus nor His body anymore

down, and wrapped

that which was neither Jesus nor His body anymore

in the linen. And he laid

that which was neither Jesus nor His body anymore

in a tomb which had been hewn out of the rock, and rolled a stone against the door of the tomb. 47 And Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses observed where

that which was neither Jesus nor His body anymore

was laid. (Mark 15:43-47 NKJV)

Would that change in wording and concept make any substantial difference to the faith once delivered to the saints?

In Christ,
