1 Cor. 15:12-20
The church of Corinth has accepted a false doctrine and does not realize the significance of it. If resurrection is impossible then (1) Christ has not been resurrected (v.13), (2) our faith is in vain because we are still in sin (v.17), (3) God is lying (v.15). We live in a false hope and deceiving ourselves and thus are pitied more than others (v.19).
This is not a uncommon phenomenon within the liberal circle of Christianity. They deny all the miracles including resurrection. They study the Bible in a very different manner than us. They are pitied than others. Be careful for these liberal "Christians." Normally you can find them in the theology department of the state university, some of the Lutheran seminaries and others.
Sometimes we may not realize the significances of false doctrine like the Corinth church. Shall we accept everyone, including those who practice homosexuality. If we accept that then the Bible is a lie, because it says the homosexuality is a sin! They need to repent just like anyone who sins. Sinful people do not acceptance they need repentance.
