I don't see how it can be any plainer than this:

Acts 2:31 -He seeing this before spake of the resurrection of Christ, that his SOUL was not left in hell [hades], neither his flesh did see corruption.

Christ's resurrection was of the SOUL.
Christ's resurrection was not of the body.
Hell [hades] was the realm of the dead.
It is from this realm that the dead are raised.
It is not dead corpses that are being raised - there is nobody in them

Ask any preacher at a funeral. As they look down upon the body in the coffin they always say something like this "So-and-so has departed unto a better place (or the not-so-better-place which is NEVER mentioned ). It doesn't matter if they are Baptists, Presbyterians, Anglican or Catholic. They all recognize that the PERSON PART has left the shell created from the dust - every one of them!

Why can't the futurists accept the spiritual instead of always focusing on the natural, earthly stuff.

Well let me answer that with a comparison. It is exactly like those who believe the natural, earthly, old covenant Israel is expected to be given their natural, earthly, physical kingdom. They completely ignore the transformation from the physical to the spiritual. They ignore how that old covenant Israel was just a type and shadow of things to come in Christ.

Was Christ's body made alive after His resurrection? Without a doubt! But without Christ (the PERSON PART) being in the body (the made-from-dust part), there is no way the body part could walk around and show himself to many witnesses. THE resurrection occurred BEFORE the body portion began walking around.

But it doesn't matter what the Scriptures say. They have their paradigm and they are gonna stick with it!

This hyperpreterist is nothing but a joke, even the text he employs he demonstrates his bias seemingly not to understand the full text of the passage he offers. Readers do you see that he has selectively didn't highlight the phrase, “neither his flesh did see corruption.”, assuming the remarks of Peter declaring the fulfillment of prophecy to be a defintion of the term resurrection. The intetellectual dishonesty of the poster seemingly to slice in half the term “resurrection” in an effort to prop up his pagan anthropologic viewpoint is on display for all to see.

“Person part” as if according to the Bible a live human being can be sliced and diced, evidently he doesn’t understand the Apostle’s definition of a live human being,

Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1 Thess 5:23 ESV.


According to the hyperpreterist the Apostle went to far in describing the complete man as including his body.

As to the text the intellectually dishonest hypepreterist rests his case upon,

31 he foresaw and spoke about the resurrection of the Christ, that he was not abandoned to Hades, nor did his flesh see corruption.

Is nothing more than a declaration of the fulfillment of Ps 16:10

10 For you will not abandon my soul to Sheol,or let your holy one see corruption.

And is not a definition for what the term “resurrection” means. This guy simply has no respect for the text.
