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....

Why not, betty boop? It wasn't the body that sinned in Adam, but his will.

If life is God in some form, say breath, then the living carrot I just ate is transubstantiation..
Sounds like anamism .. i.e. my brother the buffalo, sister the grass, cousin the bird..

Could even be cannibalism.. Muslims do not like pork because Islam forbids cannibalism..
