What? The Jesus-worshippers in Corinth believed in bodily resurrections??? What is this? And Paul states flat-out that Jesus became a spirit, regardless of what Wright claims Paul said. ‘Your assertion that early Christians would have scoffed at the idea of a bodily resurrection is in error.’

Your assertion that early Christians would have scoffed at the idea of a bodily resurrection is in error. I would highly recommend New Testament Scholar N. T. Wright's book "The Resurrection of the Son of God" in which he states: "the idea of a non-bodily resurrection would have been as much an oxymoron to (Paul) as it would to both Jews and pagans of his day; whether you believed in resurrection or not, the word meant bodies". (p 372) Paul did imply that Christians would be resurrected in the same manner: Bodily! Steven,

I am currently having two debates on the resurrection at <a HREF="http://richarddawkins.net/forum/viewtopic.php?t=12222" rel="nofollow"> Debate 1 </a> and Debate 2 Anybody can register and try to help these Christians out.
