The Resurrection Body
Paul again says in I Corinthians, the first chapter, the ninth verse, we should not trust in ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead. Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God, says the Lord. And the word of God says that our bodies were created by Him, they have an eternal purpose in Him and with Him and therefore we are to live by every word of God so that our whole being is under God and His word.

Rev. R.J. Rushdoony (1916–2001), was a leading theologian, church/state expert, and author of numerous works on the application of Biblical law to society. He started the Chalcedon Foundation in 1965. His Institutes of Biblical Law (1973) began the contemporary theonomy movement which posits the validity of Biblical law as God’s standard of obedience for all. He therefore saw God’s law as the basis of the modern Christian response to the cultural decline, one he attributed to the church’s false view of God’s law being opposed to His grace. This broad Christian response he described as “Christian Reconstruction.” He is credited with igniting the modern Christian school and homeschooling movements in the mid to late 20th century. He also traveled extensively lecturing and serving as an expert witness in numerous court cases regarding religious liberty. Many ministry and educational efforts that continue today, took their philosophical and Biblical roots from his lectures and books.
