8**For everyone who keeps asking will receive, and the person who keeps searching will find, and the person who keeps knocking will have the door opened.

Death and Resurrection

1Corinthians 15:

3**For I delivered to you as of first importance what I also received, that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, (Old testament Prophecies)

4**and that He was buried, and that He was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures (Old Testament Prophecies),
5**and that He appeared to Cephas (not the Apostle Peter), then to the twelve. 
The twelve would include the Apostle Peter and Mathias who was later chosen by lot to replace Judas Iscariot.
6**After that He appeared to more than five hundred brethren at one time, most of whom remain until now, but some have fallen asleep;
All of these people have been asleep, have been dead, out of the body for 1900 years and longer but we have their written “Eye witness” testimonies; 2Peter 1:16, Luke 1:1-2, 1st Corinthians 13:9-12 and Exodus 33:11, and the Spirit of God working in the World today John 16:8.
When a person in the Lord falls asleep, dies, their body goes to the grave but the Soul and Spirit join the Lord in the third Heaven, 2nd Corinthians 12:2, Luke 23:43, Daniel 7:13, Acts 1:9.

2Corinthians chapter 5:

6**Therefore, being always of good courage, and knowing that while we are at home in the body we are absent from the Lord–
7**for we walk by faith, not by sight–
8**we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord.
The Lord Jesus is currently the only one with a resurrected body. Several people have been resuscitated but later returned to the grave to await the resurrection.
7**then He appeared to James, then to all the apostles;
8 **and last of all, as to one untimely born, He appeared to me also.

1Corinthians chapter 15:

9**For I am the least of the apostles, and not fit to be called an apostle, because I persecuted the church of God.
10**But by the grace of God I am what I am, and His grace toward me did not prove vain; but I labored even more than all of them, yet not I, but the grace of God with me.
11**Whether then it was I or they, so we preach and so you believed.

A debater’s Rational argument!

1Corinthians 15:

12**Now if Christ is preached, that He has been raised from the dead, how do some among you say that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13**But if there is no resurrection of the dead, not even Christ has been raised;

14**and if Christ has not been raised, then our preaching is vain, your faith also is vain (empty, worthless).
15**Moreover we are even found to be false witnesses of God, because we testified against God that He raised Christ, whom He did not raise, if in fact the dead are not raised.
16**For if the dead are not raised, not even Christ has been raised;
17**and if Christ has not been raised, your faith is worthless; you are still in your sins.
18**Then those also who have fallen asleep in Christ have perished.
19**If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied.

Conclusion:

20**But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep.
The Lord Jesus is currently the only one with a resurrected body.
1Corinthians 15:21 For since by a man (Adam) came death, by a man (the man Christ Jesus) also came the resurrection of the dead.
22**
For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive.
23**But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ’s at His coming (Rapture of the Church),
Our soul and spirit will return with the Lord Jesus at the Church Rapture and become united with our new Spiritual Body with our dead body being the seed only, possibly D.N.A, 1st Thessalonians 4:16-17.

Romans chapter 8:

23**And not only this, but also we ourselves, having the first fruits of the Spirit, even we ourselves groan within ourselves, waiting eagerly for our adoption as sons, the redemption of our body.
