Not most others I would say. And the difference is not diametrical or unresolved. Miscommunication I think would be better stated. You and @rom are saying the same thing. He understands that.
To go anywhere else than the depth and beauty of Understandings gleaned
which comes through this portion of Scriptures - would never be my cuppa.
So what about the writings of the Saints or the pronouncements of Councils? Are they not beautiful and full of understanding and depth? Is that not your cuppa?

God bless

For me? Nothing compares w/what comes through to me Via Sacred Scriptures…

Indeed., They are the Source for Saints and Pronouncements

I’ve read my fair share of Saints and ‘books’ - but the Door to Scriptures is Opened.

I too can and have written about it and other portions of Scriptures
  • …also for the purpose of pointing to it - and to its Author - God.
NOTE: I’m not by any means Sola Scriptura…

I’m like… St. Jerome’s Teaching embraced by the Church

"Ignorance of Scriptures is Ignorance of Christ!"

Ah but ignorance of Tradition is ignorance of the fullness of the Truth. One can read and believe in the Scriptures, as they should, but they can be ignorant of the beautiful Tradition that has been handed on to us from the Apostles and through the hands of Saints.
In your past posts, you seem to disagree with St. Thomas Aquinas, which I think most here would be astonished at. The Doctor knew what he was talking about, and all he said agreed with Scripture and Tradition. To think otherwise is ignorance of one of the two or both.

Ah… And… I’ve a decent working knowledge and acceptance of
Sacred Scriptures, Sacred Apostolic Tradition and topical Magisterium

The resurrected body is not a simple substance, but is composed of many parts. Whatever has parts can decompose into those parts. Therefore, the resurrected body is naturally and intrinsically corruptible, as all bodies.
@rom was merely stating what St. Thomas Aquinas has taught and inferred through his writings. Yet, you disagree

Well Check this out:

The Resurrection Body (Abridged)​

Our earthly bodies are planted in the ground when we die, but they will be raised to live forever.

Our They are buried as natural human bodies, but they will be raised as spiritual bodies.

For just as there are natural bodies, there are also spiritual bodies.

Our dying mortal bodies must be transformed into immortal bodies that will never die;
 
Read what he said before:
The resurrected body is not a simple substance, but is composed of many parts. Whatever has parts can decompose into those parts.
Then read how he responded to you:
The point is very simple. The resurrected body is intrinsically corruptible, but extrinsically incorruptible. St. Paul emphasizes the second part: that the body is extrinsically incorruptible because it now shares in the immortality of the soul to which it is united. This is why he calls it a “spiritual body,” because it will have some of the characteristics of the soul.
It seems you aren’t understanding.
Let me help: St. Paul is pointing to the second part, the Extrinsic Incorruptibility of the Resurrected Body. The Body will be incorruptible because God, an extrinsic being to us, will make it incorruptible in the Resurrection.

See, simple. No disagreement between you two and St. Thomas Aquinas.
Question: Is that portion of Aquinas’ writings - an explicit part OF the Magisterium?
Irrelevant. Is your interpretation of St. Paul an explicit part of the Magisterium? If so, show me.
With respect, I would take St. Thomas Aquinas writings over your understandings any day.

Lastly, your profile says “Christian”. Are you a Catholic Christian or some other form?
