Scripture: The Bible on Resurrection

Some Bible (King James) passages on the resurrection of Jesus:

To whom also he shewed himself alive after his passion by many infallible proofs.
- Acts 1:3

Whom God hath raised up, having loosed the pains of death: because it was not possible that he should be holden of it.
- Acts 2:24

This Jesus hath God raised up, whereof we all are witnesses
- Acts 2:32

Now if Christ be preached that he rose from the dead, how say some among you that there is no resurrection of the dead?
But if there is no resurrection of the dead, then is Christ not risen: and if Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith also vain.
- 1 Cor. 15:12-14

You may wonder about that last one.  Who was disagreeing with Paul about the resurrection?  The Gnostics.  Not that the Gnostics didn't believe Jesus rose form the dead, as Paul seems to be implying, but rather they believed that he rose as spirit, not as a physical being.  After all, didn't Jesus tell us that flesh cannot inherit the kingdom( 1 Cor. 15:50)?
