1 Corinthians 15:36

Thou foolish one, that which thou thyself sowest is not quickened except it die:

'Thou foolish one' -'Skeptics (agnostics) pose as unusually intellectual..but pose does not make one intelligent.' (Robertson p. 195)

'Not only was the spirit bad, the reasoning was terrible.' (McGuiggan p. 200)

'Does this man try to make. joke of the resurrection and to turn the laugh upon simple believers by stating that the dead body will be patched together again from the dust, once more to begin its round of life in eating and drinking... What. fool to think of the resurrection in so pitiful. way!. (Lenski p. 703)

'The implication is not simply that such questions suggest one to have taken leave of his senses, but that one stands as the "fool" in the OT sense-- as the person who has failed to take God into account.' (Fee p. 780)

In light of this statement by Paul, what would God call someone that expressed disbelief in the virgin birth of Christ, or that God created the Universe in six days? Or that the flood of Noah couldn't have been universal? Or that Jonah couldn't have been swallowed and or survived in the belly of the sea monster?

'quickened' -2227. zoopoieo dzo-op-oy-eh'-o; from the same as 2226 and 4160; to (re-)vitalize (literally or figuratively): -make alive, give life, quicken.

'that which thou thyself sowest' -'You hold the answer in your own hands.' (Fee p. 780) 'In your own experience you know that. seed does not germinate without itself dying.' (Phi)

Some of the Corinthians were under the impression that the resurrected body just had to be made of the same stuff as the body that was buried.
