the resurrection he says: "It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption; it is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body." The natural is visible in nature, but the spiritual is always existing, for "there is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body." "Flesh and blood cannot inherit the Kingdom of God," hence the soul-form, without the material body, but in its spiritual organized body, will do so.
Let us not then think of man's soul, or receptacle of life, as a formless something, but as in an organized human form. When in the hereafter it appears, we know from many instances in the Bible that it will appear in the human form, as, for example, when the disciples saw Moses and Elijah on the Mount of Transfiguration, or when the spiritual world was opened to John in the Isle of Patmos.
There is evidently a vegetable soul, an animal soul, and a human soul, for all outward life must have of necessity its above-nature cause, and its inward spiritual form, that causes it to take form in the outward, to grow, and to develop into the likeness of that from which it proceeded. The material world is merely the world of effects, the spiritual, the world of causes.
