The Bible Resurrection Reasonable.

Really the doctrine of the reSurrec-
ton OF the dead has been repudated
by all denominations, not willingly.
not intentionally, but perfOrcc. as it
were. An opposite theory received
and entrenched in the minds gives no
place for the doctrine of the reSurrec-
ton as the Bible presents it. Conse-
qucntly we have twisted the doctrine
of the resurrection and rccitc. Il be-
lieve in the resurrection of the body"
Yet. even This perverted view of the
resurrection is not satisfactory to
those who hold it. They wish many Il
time that the doctrine OF the reSurrcc-
ton was not in the Bible so much
difference does it cause. For instance.
how Inconsistent it seems that they
should say, Il believe in the resurrec-
ton of the body" and then say, as
many do, Dying is but going home,
getting rid of the mortal flesh, and
being freed from its limitations. If it
is blessing to die and get free from
the limitations of the body. how could
it be blessing to he reincarccrated in
the body, and bc obliged to keep it
through all eternity?
There is nothing inconsistent in the
Bible presentation of the resurrection.
Not from the Bible. but from men,
comes the suggestion of the reSurrcc-
refers 10 the resurrection of the &oHi
1t is the SOUi that dies; as we read.
The soul that sinncth il shall die"
Adam was created living soul, hut
his living soul came under the death
sentence because he disObeyed God
1t was his SoW that was redeemed
from death, not his body. L will re
deem Thy iIc Qook up the word life TO
see if it is from the Hebrew word
meaning soul. and if so. add the word
SGUl after the word life, in parenthe-
sis from destructiOn.-Psalm Gill. +.
To accomplish this redemption we
read that Christ Jesus poured out
His soul unto death He made His
soul an offering for sin" Moreover
We are particularly told that il was
the soul of Jesus that was raised from
the dead: Il will not leave Thy soul
in Shc0I.' st. Peter quotes this state
meut as prophetical of the resurrection
OF Jesus that His soul was not left
in hates. With what body do they
come is a totally different gucs
ton Some of the dead souls. in the
resurrection. will come forth With spir-
it bodies, and others with human
bodies according to the Bible. But the
important point is that it is the soul.
the being. that comes forth If the SoM
lies. as the Bible declares. then mani
festly the soul should be resurrected.
Bible Made Void by Tradition.
The difficulty with us has been that
we "have made void the Word of God
by our traditions" We received from
the Grecian philosophers Il tradition
which Socrates and Plato both ad-
vOcated. namely. that when human
being dies he does not really die. The
soul. it is claimed cannot die. but
whenever the soul gets out of the body.
the body dies How strange it seems
that we all accepted this philosophy
without y word of Scripture. but with
hundreds Of Scriptures to condemn it.
