For anyone who was thoroughly confused by my post yesterday about resurrection, here's what I was talking about:
I think resurrection is not merely the resuscitation of a corpse. It also entails God putting Israel back together again. Remember Ezekiel's vision of the valley of dry bones? God accomplishes this through Christ, and Christ through the Apostles, and builds the Church upon this foundation. As God was doing this God was vindicating the Church as the means by which Israel was being reconstituted.
Hope that clears things up for anyone who may have been a bit befuddled.

Doug,
resurrection is one of the ost difficult/controversial topics out there. Heck, it was tough for the popel in Paul's day. Why should we think it be any easier for us today? Keep up the good work.
