Following is a smaller section of the passage: "All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body." You claimed that this passage speaks of different glories of resurrected flesh. That is false. The passage speaks of how the spiritual body differs from the natural body. You are the one making the assertion that there are different types of resurrected bodies, some more glorious than others. The burden is upon you to show how this or any other passage teaches this. You made the wild assertion that Protestants (I assume you mean us), are ignorant of this supposedly little talked about passage. I want to try and understand how you come to this way of thinking. How about trying to teach the Bible to us concerning this subject? How is it that this passage plainly teaches different kinds of flesh in the resurrection? The contrast is obviously between the natural body and the spiritual body. There is a natural body and a spiritual body, not a natural body and several different kinds of spiritual bodies.
