[UntoHim]

Ohio, I think we're all happy for your "wonderful salvation". I'm sure the angels in heaven were rejoicing over the revelation of "Christ in me, the hope of glory!" Nothing can change this, nor can any mere teaching or doctrine of man take away this wonderful salvation and the glorious revelation of Christ in you.

Now let's talk about "getting it right". Nigel Tomes was not talking about some inconsequential or esoteric interpretation of the timing of the 2nd coming, or whether or not the Millennial kingdom is a literal 1,000 years, or what is the correct interpretation of Daniel 7. Nigel was teaching about things that touch upon the very nature of God. Teachings concerning the nature of God greatly effect how we know God. Knowing God affects how we worship him. Incorrect teachings about God and his nature and his character touch upon his glory.

The apostle Paul has been dubbed as the first Christian theologian. His letters address all sorts of doctrines and issues. Without exception there is always a context, and the context should always govern our understanding and interpretation of any particular passage. The context of 1 Corinthians chapter 15 is not the Trinity. The context is clear. “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body do they come?” (vrs 35) The apostle Paul compares and contrasts two physical bodies: That of the first Adam, who was made "a living being", and that of the second and last Adam, who was made "a life-giving spirit". And just in case, Paul reiterates a few verses later: "For this perishable body must put on the imperishable, and this mortal body must put on immortality." The context is clear.

Sorry I got distracted from finishing this post. Probably good enough for now anyway!
