According to Paul, when you plant a seed, it doesn’t look like the plant it will grow into, just like our bodies now are different from the ones we will have later. It’s like how a wheat seed doesn’t look like a wheat plant until it grows.

1 Corinthians 15:37: And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other [grain]:

Contradiction with Genesis 1:11

This verse states God created plants directly rather than from seeds, contradicting the idea of sowing a seed to get a body that is described in 1 Corinthians 15:37.

Genesis 1:11: And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, [and] the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed [is] in itself, upon the earth: and it was so. [grass: Heb. tender grass]

Contradiction with Luke 6:44

This verse highlights that each tree is known by its own fruit, suggesting a direct correlation between seed and body, while 1 Corinthians 15:37 explains the process as indirect.

Luke 6:44: For every tree is known by his own fruit. For of thorns men do not gather figs, nor of a bramble bush gather they grapes. [grapes: Gr. a grape]
