1 Corinthians 15:12-19. Our Lord Jesus knew what He was doing when
He chose Paul to be His apostle to the Gentiles. For though He was
able through the fully submitted Paul to say exactly what He wanted
this primarily Gentile church to hear - yet at the same time He was
able to use all the natural giftings of Paul to say His word through
him! </span></span></span><u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="">This</span></span></u><span style="font-style: normal;"><span style="text-decoration: none;"><span style="">

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">This particular passage shows
forth this rare combination of God speaking through man to express
the tremendous importance of Christ's resurrection as the basis of

<font style="font-size: 11pt;" size="2">man of the human race? But if
<u>one man</u>, Adam, brought sin's contamination into the entire

atone for all what Adam introduced into our human race!</font></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in; font-style: normal; text-decoration: none;" align="LEFT">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;">Scriptures clearly
teach that God is the Father of the <u>spirits</u> of all men. It
matters not our racial background as human beings - we are <u>all</u>
of one family. We are all of one blood. Each individual can safely
receive blood transfusions from any other individual of the human
race. (Of course, differences in blood types must still be
considered.)</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;">According to <u>spirit</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
and according to </span><u>blood</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">,
I am brother to every other member of the human race. Then when we
enter the Kingdom of God by justification by faith, we enter into
another and higher dimension.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
15:29-34. The Lord's final concluding thought here through Paul is
clear. The resurrection of Christ and His Ascension, and the Father
sending the Holy Spirit through the Son, successfully erases the
futility that otherwise would render holy living impossible.</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">And
of course, the difficult passage of 15:29-30 and baptism for the dead
- finds answer through the above. Various commentators have clearly
seen how to make clear and simple this passage, and it is </span><u>not</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
the Mormon answer.</span></p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in; text-decoration: none;">
<br>
</p>
<p style="margin-top: 0.01in; margin-bottom: 0in;"><span style="text-decoration: none;">Then
- 15:33-34 shows that we must fellowship with friends who are
vertically related with God and Christ - and horizontally one with
another - in the light of this passage. Friends </span><u>not</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
related by </span><u>vertical</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
covenant with God, and </span><u>horizontal</u><span style="text-decoration: none;">
covenant with one another - will have their morals in jeopardy. </span>

Lastly, our Psalm for the day: <b>91:14-15 (91:1-16) MY REFUGE AND
