Advocates for the Collective Body view of the resurrection have asserted that the phrase "THE sin" in Rom 6:1 should be understood as a reference to "THE Law." They then use that idea to suggest that Paul is urging Jewish Christians to quit keeping the Law (instead of stop sinning). We show how that can not be the correct understanding of Rom 6:1. The Collective Body view also teaches that "the BODY of Moses" (mentioned in Jude 9) is referring to a collective BODY of Israelites who kept the Law of Moses. We show instead that Jude 9 is simply referring to the literal physical individual body of Moses. We also show how the phrases "your mortal body" (Rom 6:12) and "in the BODY" (2 Cor 5:6-10) are referring to the individual mortal bodies of the first century saints, and NOT talking about a collective body.
