Subject: Soul sleep? |
Bible Note: Hi, Caro... Welcome to the forum! That was a very old post to which you responded. :-) That was the one and only question by kbdvm, way back in 2001. However, would you mind a bit of correction from fellow believer who is often in need of correction? You are equating the flesh with the body. This is an error that entered the church from gnostic teaching. If the body itself were evil, how could Christ have had a body? The flesh is also called the fallen nature, the sin nature, or the Adamic nature. This is what Paul meant in Galatians 5:16-18, a very different notion from what Christ meant in Mark 14:38. (The word flesh has several meanings in the Scripture.) Our bodies will one day be resurrected and we will be glorified -- not just our souls. In Him, Doc |
