See my previous post <a href="http://teachinglifewaylessons.blogspot.com/2010/03/resurrection-hope.html" rel="nofollow">"Resurrection Hope"</a>. To refresh my memory, I like to read Rom 8:11,23; Phil 3:21; 2 Cor 5:2.servingHimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14135729075249528629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13111512.post-72819320728322929542010-07-25T05:00:50.959-05:002010-07-25T05:00:50.959-05:00This is one of the most neglected topics in Baptis...This is one of the most neglected topics in Baptist teaching--the resurrection of believers. We have come to believe in life after death as a disembodied spirit forever living with God in heaven. Both teachers, especially Payne, did a very good job of relating not only the resurrection of Jesus but that this is the firstfruits of a greater resurrection of the believers.<br /><br />The ETB literature tells a very incomplete story of the 15th chapter of 1 Corinthians. It focuses on the importance of the resurrection of Christ, no doubt THE critical doctrine of the church, but don't 99.99% of us believe that? (or else why would we be in the Sunday school class in the first place?) <br /><br />Lifeway further skips similar supporting content in 2 Corinthians 5 in the lesson in 2 weeks. The lessons aren't wrong, just incomplete, and this lack of teaching on the bodily resurrection has been neglected in Southern Baptist circles for too long. As a 30 year plus believer in Christ, I have never in a Southern Baptist church heard a lesson or sermon on the bodily resurrection of believers.<br /><br />Robert SutherlandUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16976947548015628408noreply@blogger.com
