Challenging Concepts of the Resurrection William Bell, Jr. It is clear that for some, resurrection can only mean the rising of a [physical] human body from the grave.

Here is another good read by David Embury about the corporate body resurrection, below.

Let’s start at the Beginning. Part of the confusion about the… Continue Reading
