1 Corinthians 15:29-38

in this passage paul makes more arguments against these people that are teaching falsely. he explains that these people are practicing baptism of the dead but they don't believe in a resurrection so whats the point? Paul has his life on the line all the time. If there is no resurrection paul should not be doing that. He'd be better off doing his best to enjoy this life if nothing comes after. Paul then gives very wise advice that bad company ruins good character. He warns them to watch out for these people that are teaching these things because they cause people to fall.

Paul then describes what resurrection will look like. Just like a seed bears a plant that looks nothing like it we will be resurrected into some new form that only God knows. The life we live now is only a shadow of what is to come. we should be anxiously looking forward to what is to come. there is nothing that can compare to the riches of God on this earth. It'll be an amazing day for sure when we first get to see what is in store for those who believe. amazing.
