1 Corinthians 15:50, meaning of?

Question

I'm interested in learning other peoples viewpoints of this important scripture. Mine is thus: The blood Christ spilled upon Mount Calvary he did not receive again into his veins. That was poured out, and when he was resurrected, another element took the place of the blood. It will be so with every person who receives a resurrection; the blood will not be resurrected with the body, being designed only to sustain the life of the present organization. When that is dissolved, and we again obtain our bodies by the power of the resurrection, that which we now call the life of the body, and which is formed from the food we eat and the water we drink will be supplanted by another element; for flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God [see 1 Corinthians 15:50] (DBY, 374).

Thank you all for your insights. I'm reading every single answer, and I'm learning a lot. Thanks.

Answer 1

To me it says that when we die and receive our new body, it is that body that enters heaven, not a flesh and blood person.

Answer 2

Even the body being corrupted by sin must be made new or it can not stand before the Holiness of God without being consumed. This is the last stage of becoming a new creation in Christ. Unlike many today who feel by merely accepting Jesus of saying a penitents prayer a person is not saved unless by a Sovereign work they really are born again and become a new person. This is the spiritual inner work at first and even though the old man of sin remains in us that too will die at death as well as the body. Nothing that is not made new by Christ and perfected by Him can enter the kingdom of God. Those alive when He returns will not die but be transformed so as still all the old that was tainted by sin will die and all things become new.

Answer 3

This verse is very simple, It means that only Flesh & blood cn not enter into the kingdom of heaven, That is sinful blood & flesh, & neither cn corruption inherit Incorruption, which all means no sinful flesh or Blood nor Body cn enter into the kingdom of heavn, We have to be born again, Even though we still have our regulr blood, Our Flesh has been changed into Immortal & or body Likewise.In verse 51 & 52 also explains it very good, We must be born again.

Answer 4

This momentary (author`s opinion) sign present became for the working of divine acts opposite to nature, so as that there became no rationalization for the action different than that it became by potential of the potential of God. This, too, became to authenticate Christ and the apostolic preachers of the gospel. John 2:11 notes that Jesus did His first miracle at Cana to "show up His glory", not advance the social gathering. Acts 2:22 affirms that Jesus did miracles to "attest" that God became working via Him, so as that human beings might have faith in Him as Lord and Savior, Jesus executed miracles and healed purely for the three years of His ministry, never interior the 30 years until now. His miracles began whilst His mimistry began. however Jesus did miracles on the subject of nature (made wine, created nutrition, walked on water with Peter, ascended), no apostle ever is mentioned to have performed a miracle interior the organic realm. What miracle did the apostles do? the respond is interior the interest "miracles", meaning "potential", and is often related to casting out demons. that's precisely that potential that the Lord gave the disiciples. a million. author of my exellent learn Bible advise that those presents became for the Apostles and their close to followers. meaning the 1st church. own i'm uncertain. 2. If disagree with MacArthur, that's accepted, if agree, then there's an stunning style of mendacity and/or fake effect going on. 3. sure there is standards. whilst Jesus healed it became consistently prompt, consistently completely. a guy that were lame his entire existence should not be waiting to stroll even though if his paralysis became healed. meaning Jesus additionally bolstered the muscle groups.

Answer 5

I disagree. I view this as a key passage in favor of the Rapture. Paul writes "we shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed ..." Then he explains that the dead bodies of believers will be resurrected and granted immortality first; second will come the making immortal of those believers who are still alive.

See also 1 Thes. 4:13-18.

How God will accomplish this, we do not know.

Answer 6

1Corinthians 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.

People must be change to inherit the kingdom, we will not enter in any manner in the kingdom promised by GOD if we cannot be change.

How can we change?

Ephesians 4:21 if so be that ye heard him, and were taught in him, even as truth is in Jesus:
Ephesians 4:22 that ye put away, as concerning your former manner of life, the old man, that waxeth corrupt after the lusts of deceit;
Ephesians 4:23 and that ye be renewed in the spirit of your mind,

Answer 7

1 Corinthians 15:50

50But I tell you this, brethren, flesh and blood cannot [become partakers of eternal salvation and] inherit or share in the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable (that which is decaying) inherit or share in the imperishable (the immortal). I look at it this way.
these bodies, (earthsuits) are for the earth, and they cannot enter heaven. We will have glorified bodies, made for eternity that are immortal.

Answer 8

There is absolutely nothing in The Bible to support your position... you have been given some very bad instruction by someone concerning God's Word and Will... or you have simply attempted to read The Bible and have rejected the leading of The Holy Spirit... only those open to the leading of God through the Holy Spirit will find what God has for them in The Bible.... it is very clear you have not found The Truth.

Answer 9

The Pauline POINT being made in 1Cor 15 is conversion is from corruption (law) to incorruption (grace), from mortal (law) to immortal (grace). For both immortal + mortal = an oxyMORON such as life + death via grace(is) + law(added), which then makes His Grace "no more grace", as death added makes life no more life, but life + death = a dead end.

Christ died according to the (plural) scriptures (grace + law).
Christ: the end of the law, cannot die(law), is the script-u-are.

Going on to 1Cor 15:56 we learn the root source and "strength" of sin and it's deadly sting is the law. Hence law is the "strong man" to first bind to spoil a mosaic house of sin and death.

The "work of the Lord" in 1Cor 15:58 is the work that got first "finished" in John 17; not what got "finished" in John 19. For as James 1:15 notes: sin, when "it is finished", brings death (not life). Paul notes do the will of God precedes receive the promise in Hebrews 10, which also notes God never desired sacrifice.

It's all "allegory" in both "covenants": Galatians 4.

It's always about grace or law (life or death).
Eg: charity or love? "charity never faileth"!
Why? Charity thinketh no evil (no law).

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Answer 10

Mortal will be made immortal. Corruptible will be made incorruptible. But it doesn't say we will be without blood and flesh, just that it will be changed. After all, the tree of life has 12 kinds of fruit ...
