This, Lake indie tes as a belief in a kind oftransubstantiatlon of the body from the flesh and blood tothe spirit. Such he thinks is the manner in which it was-understood by this apsotle. Such is the corruptible ^putting on incorruption -as in Philippians 3:20-21 -whencewe shall look for the Saviour, tie Lord Jesus Christ: whoshall change our vile body that it may be fashioned likeunto His glorious body - Such an idea of Paul taken from Judaism very largely, but his distinct contribution is {I that the change was simultaneous with the resurrection -tnj^tie twinkling of an eye, So ^aul, la. truth, bases hi&=. li belief finally on the knowledge he has of the event in th life of Christ. It is predominantly spiritual. In thisapostles mind there is no evident difference between this ;! later and the earlier appearances. It wa^ a sudden vision jwhich convinced Paul that Jesus was still alive, and the l|in-terpretaLion of this vision is well set forth in Corinthians,, that Christ was not flesh or blood. In this recordof Paul, the chronology of the appearances is also vague andgeneral, but the fact of them is beyond all question. The .weight of Professor Sheldons words IS again brought tobear on this point: -ffhile he (Paul) was furnished withsubstantial sources of information, he wrote under conditionswhich advised to carefulnes and sobriety in his statements,for, in the third decade from the crucifixion, of thoseto whom he referred as witnesses of the appearance of Christmust have been still at hand, <as indeed he took pains to con-firm.
