What would you do if you saw a dead body 40 years dead, look the same as the day before it died?

I ask this because in the Bible it talks in the old testament and new about Incorruptible bodies/flesh? How can a person believe in the Bible and not believe in them? What would you do if you saw one of these?

How do you explain this claim?

I have a wikipedia that's a start right?

    There are well preserved bodies of unbelievers and of people who never knew of Christ or the Bible. It's a matter of where the body is kept, the atmosphere, and pure chance. What most people describe as Incorruptible is a body that has dried out instead of decaying. Some of the bodies on display have wax masks over their faces and coverings on their hands to give the appearance that nothing at all has changed.

    Oy!

    It was referring to spiritual bodies. Those would be incorruptible. Understanding is easy to come by. All it takes is a little xtra reading.

    And the references are all in the New Testament (Greek Scrirptures). Those that lived in the times written abot in the Old Testament had no hope of a heavenly life so there is no reference to it.

    Even so called incorruptible bodies show signs of decay. Under the right conditions, that decay can be naturally slowed down.

    1 Corinthians 15 (Amplified Bible) 42So it is with the resurrection of the dead. [The body] that is sown is perishable and decays, but [the body] that is resurrected is imperishable (immune to decay, immortal). 43It is sown in dishonor and humiliation; it is raised in honor and glory. It is sown in infirmity and weakness; it is resurrected in strength and endued with power.

    44It is sown a natural (physical) body; it is raised a supernatural (a spiritual) body. [As surely as] there is a physical body, there is also a spiritual body.

    45Thus it is written, The first man Adam became a living being (an individual personality); the last Adam (Christ) became a life-giving Spirit [restoring the dead to life].(H)

    46But it is not the spiritual life which came first, but the physical and then the spiritual.

    47The first man [was] from out of earth, made of dust (earthly-minded); the second Man [is] the Lord from out of heaven.(I)

    48Now those who are made of the dust are like him who was first made of the dust (earthly-minded); and as is [the Man] from heaven, so also [are those] who are of heaven (heavenly-minded).

    49And just as we have borne the image [of the man] of dust, so shall we and so [g]let us also bear the image [of the Man] of heaven.

    50But I tell you this, brethren, flesh and blood cannot [become partakers of eternal salvation and] inherit or share in the kingdom of God; nor does the perishable (that which is decaying) inherit or share in the imperishable (the immortal).

    Only God can give you an incorruptible body. So just follow God, love Him and keep reading the Bible so that when Jesus returns and this world is gone you too will have that kind of body and mind and spirit.
