A Glaring Contradiction
Paul points out a major inconsistency. The Corinthians accepted the core Christian message that Christ was raised from the dead, a specific historical event. Commentators explain that it is therefore illogical and contradictory to then claim that the resurrection of the dead in general is impossible. If it happened once with Christ, it cannot be dismissed as a general impossibility.
