Please watch all grammatical errors, and each answer to should be able to stand against strong classroom scrutiny. Demonstrate knowledge of the subject matter by inserting substantive content. Also, present the logic, cogency, and evidence of your explanation(s) and argument(s). Avoid casual talks and testimonies by interacting theologically and critically. Each answer should not have any tie to another answer. For questions 3& 4, the sited books are as follows…

Question 3: Summarize Paul’s doctrine regarding what happens to humans at death. Does the person who dies before the return of Christ receive a glorified body, according to Paul?

Question 4: Overview the background of Paul’s idea of the life to come. Does Paul give any details about heaven or hell? What role does the resurrection from the dead play in Paul’s view of the life to come? What role does the bodily resurrection of Christ play in the Christian’s hope of participation in the life to come?
