The Distinctions of Flesh and Spirit
St. Paul's whole argument is that we have within us both the flesh, the spiritual nature and people living in sin are living according to their fleshly nature. He doesn't mean flesh in a literal kind of sense. If you look at, for instance, in Galatians 5 when he talks about the sins of the flesh versus the fruits of the spirit, they're not literally bodily sins. That's the distinction between a physical body or a fleshly body and a spiritual body. And so to answer the 80s theologians, yes, you would see a dead person stop being dead and rise from the dead.
