✝️ New Testament
Hard
In the context of 1 Corinthians 15, how does Paul's argument for the resurrection of believers hinge upon the historical reality of Christ's resurrection, and what are the implications if Christ had not been raised?
A
Paul's argument is primarily based on philosophical reasoning, independent of the historical event of Christ's resurrection.
B
The resurrection of believers is guaranteed regardless of Christ's resurrection, as it is a separate act of God's grace.
C
If Christ had not been raised, then the Christian faith is futile, believers are still in their sins, and their hope is limited to this life alone, rendering their sacrifices meaningless and their witness false.
D
The significance of Christ's resurrection lies solely in its symbolic representation of spiritual transformation, rather than its historical actuality.
