Plus even in death, a Christian’s body was were the Holy Spirit lived in.


The spirit has left the body in death. The body is just the tent that was occupied by the person. As someone said, “it is said you have a soul. You ARE a soul. You have a body.”

That is why proper respect is given when it comes to Christian buriel for the very reason I have stated.

Wrong, horribly wrong. A human person is a body-soul duality, not a ghost temporarily inhabiting a sack of meat. This is exactly what I mean when I say your anthropology is not Christian.

As someone said, “it is said you have a soul. You ARE a soul. You have a body.”

"Someone" may have said that, but it's not in the Bible. Nor is it even correctly attributed to C.S. Lewis. I'd say "someone" got it wrong.
