Corruptable and Incorruptable
1Cr 15:50 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.
Ok you Schologians (Scholarly Theologians), I have a question. Maybe more than one.
In reading the verse above i see that it says that "flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God". Now while many state that this is speaking of heaven, I see this as speaking of our new birth experience. The bible states that the kingdom of God is righteousness, peace, and joy IN THE HOLY GHOST. So I believe that part of the verse is simply saying that the kingdom is a Spiritual kingdom, and you ain't gonna get it in your natural state.
Now to the second part, and my question. The verse States that "corruption does NOT inherit incorruption". Can someone explain this to me more clearly? In the resurrection, I have always been taught that we are changed from Corruption to incorruption. Would this verse imply that our "fleshly bodies" are not "upgraded" but that we get a "completely new model"?
