Bible Question: WHAT IS THIS ABOUT? I had a Mormon use this verse on me! |
Bible Answer: Paul wrote this letter to the Church at Corinth which he had began and was away from. He knew there were still lots of people who did not believe in the ressurection of Christ. Since we are baptized into his death and raised with Him into a new life, he was referring their belief that there was no ressurection... or being baptized into the death and not the life. Please reply to this note if you are still unclear about this passage. joel way |
