Youngprer,
I really enjoy theological debate... I find it quite energizing. This forum however, is not designed for that. I don't come at you with any attitude but freindly discussion between two believers. If you would like to discuss the issue of ressurection further, I would be glad to, on a different medium, perhaps email. Any ways one last barb:
Acts 9:36-40 Tabitha was dead, raised to life by God through Peter
Acts 20- the story of Paul bringing a dead man back to life.
In I Corinthians 15, While it is true that Paul is speaking of Christ's ressurection, He is using His ressurection as proof that the dead can be raised, and ressurection as proof that Christ did raise up:
--------------------------------
12 Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
13 But if there be no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen:
14 And if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain.
---------------------------------
You see the fact that Christ was raised up is hope that others can also be raised. Acts shows plainly that others did operate in the ministry of raising the dead, through the power of God.
God Bless,
