This morning Paul continues his teaching on the resurrection, still dealing with skepticism. It’s voiced in v. 35: “Well, if there IS a resurrection, then what kind of BODY would you have?”
If asked open to the resurrection, that question is just fine. But the question is asked with skepticism, with a MATERIALISTIC assumption. Materialism is the philosophy so common then and now that says that the only things that are possible are what we see in the here and now. It excludes the supernatural, or that do not presently exist, but will.
It’s a question that’s meant to be its own answer and shut you down in the process - the sort of gotcha question a supposedly intelligent person would ask you online or in a college setting.
Paul’s answer - and his main point of this section - is that the very assumption of the question is foolish.
