This is my understanding, too, dear kosta50: Separation from God is not life

Thank you betty boop. We believe that God is Life. That which is not of God is death, the way darkness is the absence of light.

But our "natural" state is body and soul, not just the soul.

My sense is that your statement is profoundly true.

At least within the "parameters" of four-dimensional spacetime reality, body and soul are indivisible. And I expect beyond our spacetime reality, body-soul relations will persist and be found valid and true: The Holy Scriptures speak of "risen" bodies, by implication bodies not subject to space-time categories.

But we need to consult with hosepipe about such abstruse matters....
