If the bones haven't already degraded to the point where no rearch was possible-either now or in the future-then this arguement would apply to a vey great many bodies, potentialy are we talking of thousands? or tens of thousands? what are the logistics of archiving that many?
Hi Steven,
Did you mean verse 15? or did you mean 51 to 57?
Hi Dave
Sorry not really used to quoting the bible!
Try 1 Corinthians 15:53 which goes something like this,
"This body that decays must be changed into a body that cannot decay. This mortal body must be changed into a body that will live forever."
Of course there are different translations but most theologians agree the meaning is that mortal bodies are sort of disposable as the spiritual body will house the soul after death.
