The Body of the Resurrection

It’s important to understand that the founder of “Covenant Eschatology Full Preterism” in 1971, Max King, took the “corporate body view” of the body of the Resurrection. He was influenced by John A.T. Robinson, a Liberal Anglican theologian who wrote a book in 1952 called “The Body”. Max obviously knew biological bodies didn’t come out of graves at “the second coming of Christ in AD 70”, so he had to find his “body of the Resurrection” answer that was not “biological bodies out of the graves”. Max decided to go with “the corporate body view” (CBV). Now, when Max read Philippians 3:21, he said Paul’s “who will change our vile body” is the “corporate body of Adam” being “resurrected” and “changed”. So, once you take this “CBV” (corporate body view) of “the body of the Resurrection”, you no longer have any answer for individual body resurrection or change at the Resurrection, because you have used all the “body” language in the Bible on your “corporate body view” of the body of the Resurrection. The Covenant Eschatology Corporate Body View Full Preterism guys are totally stuck with their insane view on the body of the Resurrection.

According to Max King and his “Covenant Eschatology Corporate Body View Full Preterism”…

1 Corinthians 15:35, “But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what [CORPORATE] body do they come?”

1 Corinthians 15:44, “It is sown a natural [CORPORATE] body; it is raised a spiritual [CORPORATE] body. There is a natural [CORPORATE] body, and there is a spiritual [CORPORATE] body.”

Philippians 3:20-21, “20 For our conversation is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: 21 Who shall change our vile [CORPORATE] body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body, according to the working whereby he is able even to subdue all things unto himself.”

2 Corinthians 5:6-8, “6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the [CORPORATE] body, we are absent from the Lord: 7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the [CORPORATE] body, and to be present with the Lord.”

Thessalonians 4:15-17, “15 For this we say unto you by the word of the Lord, that we which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord shall not prevent them which are asleep. 16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first: 17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be [MYSTICALLY AND METAPHORICALLY] caught up together with them in the clouds, to [MYSTICALLY AND METAPHORICALLY] meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.”
