Steven:

Paul is arguning for what was always argued for in Jewish resurrection, a transformation of the body into a spiritual form that was permanent.  That is why we also get the illustrations of kinds of BODIES and the pictue of a seed to a plant from Paul in this text. The contrast of dust and heaven pictures origin. The first man and his physicality was made form stuff of the earth. The second will be made completely of matter supplied from and by heaven. That contrast is why Paul has the illustration he does about bodies and a physical nature of the resurrection. Remember that the model for Paul's take on resurrection is what happened to Jesus as a first fruits of resurrection. His appearances point tothe physicality included in resurrection.
