and we are found false witnesses of
God. Then they also which
are fallen asleep In Christ are perish
ed." (I Corinthians xv. 14, 15, 18.) He
said:
The faith once delivered to the saints
by Jesus and the Apostles In respect ti
the resurrection of the dead has been
very generally lost Christian people
profess a belief In the resurrection, he
cause they find It stated In the Bible,
yet they are continually In ditBcult.
In their endeavor to make the Scrip
tural teaching on the subject square
with some of the unscrlptural theories
received Into the Church, and Incor
porated Into many of the creeds during
the "Dark Ages."
St Taul warned the Church against
these human philosophies, and called
them "science, falsely so called." which
makes void the Word of God. These
errors have been Instrumental In divid
ing the faith of God's peop'e Into six
hundred denominations, with stx nun
drpd different professions. If God's
people could all come back to the sim
plicity of the Bible's teaching in re
spect to the resurrection of the dead,
all of these differences would speedily
disappear. God's Word would be seen
to be beautiful and harmonious, satis
factory to the consecrated Intellect, as
none of our sectarian creeds are.
Really the doctrine of the resurrec
tion of the dead has been repudiated
by all denominations, not willingly, not
intentionally, but perforce, as It were.
An opposite theory received and In
trenched In the minds gives no place
for the doctrine of the resurrection, as
the Bible presents It Consequently
we have twisted the doctrine of the
resurrection and recite. "I believe In
the resurrection of the body."
Yet even this perverted view of the
Tesurrectlon Is not satisfactory to those
who hold It They wish many a time
that the doctrine of the resurrection
were not In the Bible, so much dlf
ference does It cause. For Instance
how Inconsistent It seems that they
should say. "I believe In the resurrec
tion of the body," and then say, as
many do, Dying Is but going home, get
ting 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 a blessing to be reincarcerated In
the body, and be obliged to keep It
through all eternity? Such Is the In
consistency of the resurrection, how
ver, from the general view
The Bible Rssurreotion Reasonable,
, There Is nothing Inconsistent In the
Bible presentation of the resurrection
Not from tho Bible, but from men.
comes the suggestion of the resurrec
tion of the body. The Bible Invariably
referB to the resurrection of the smil.
It is the soul that dies; as we read,
"The soul that sinneth, it shall die."
Adam was created a living soul, but
his living soul enmo under the death
sentence because he disobeyed God.
It wns his soul that was redeemed
from death, not his body "I will re
deem thy life (look up the word life to
see If It Is from the Hebrew word
meaning noul, nnd If so. add the word
oul after tho word life. In parenthesis)
from destruction." Psalm clll. 4.
To accomplish this redemption we
rend that Christ Jesus "poured out Ills
bouI unto death:" "He made His soul
an offering for sin." Moreover, we are
pnrtk'tiliirly told that It was the huiiI
of Jesus tbnt was raised from the
dead: "Thou wilt not leave My soul 'n
sheol" St. Peter quotes this statement
is prophetical of the resurrection ot
Jesus, that Ills soul was not left In
hade: Ood raised Jesus from the dead
on the third day. With what body do
they come? Is n totally different ques
tion. Some of the dead souls. In the
, resurrection, will come forth with splr
it bodies, and others with human bod
les, according to the Bible. But the
Important point is, that It is the tout.
the beinff, that comes forth, that Is res
urrected not the body. If the mm
dies, as the Bible declares, then mani
festly the soul should be resurrected.
The difficulty with us has been that
we "have made void the Word of
God" by our "tradltione." We receiv
ed from the Grecian philosophers a tra
dition which Socrates and Plato both
advocated, namely, that when a hu
man belnf diea h doea not really die.
i r, a i
The soul, It Is claimed, cannot die, but.
whenever the- oul gets out of tho body,
the hodr dios How strange It seems
that we all. us intelligent, thoughtful
beings, have accepted this heathen
philosophy, without a word of Scrip
ture for its support, and with hundreds
of Scriptures to. condemn It!
We can see how (ho heathen philoso
phers might be led" to conjure up such
a theory, because of their desire to be
lieve iu a future'Jife.- and leeouse they
had no revel itloii froitf God resectlu!
a rftture lifev-, TheyMherCfure tried;
their best to convince themseKes that
mun-rvtlly r-oe not die-tbat bo man
can die. The Bible theory Is the very
reverse' of 'this, uamely. that a man Is
not n-.erelx ? body', that be is a soul, a
thinking. Sentient being. Neither Is he
a bodiless being, and Indeed he cauuot
be a bein at ail without a body. Ills
body way change, as science declares
t does rradually. hour by hour, until
complete change Is effected lu seven
e:rs.
Thus a mau. a soul, a sentient belug.
may in a we or liny yean nave siougn-
tHl off gradually sufficient matter to
ive composed seven bodies. But the
moment the s'ouehlug off of this dy-
ng matter nnd the substitution of Uv-
ug matter ceases, we have death; and
its soon as the body dies the soul dies
that Is, the Intelligent being ceases.
There can be no thinking without a
brain, no breathing without lungs, no
maintenance of life In any sense of the
word without a body.
This would have "beCh a total de
struction of the soul had not God spe
cially provided, as the Prophet de
clares, that He would redeem man's
life (soul) from destruction, through
the redemptive work accomplished by
Jesus In giving Ills soul an offering for
man's sin. and thus making possible
man's resurrection from the dead.
It is In consequence of this Divine
provision through Christ for a resur
rection of humanity that the Scrip
tures speak of death as merely a fall
ing asleep for a time, to wait for the
new body In the resurrection, rather
than to speak of us as dying as th
brute beasts. Tho word sleep implies
that in the Divine purpose a future life
Is intended, and will eventually be
given.
"But Now Is Christ Risen."
St Paul does not lenve the matter
of Christ's resurrection undecided. He
positively affirms that. "Christ Is risen
from the dead." and that thus risen.
"He Is the First-fruits of those thut
slept." which Implies that when He was
raised the others still slept Jesus slept
a part of those three days, from the
time He died until the Father raised
Him from the dead, from hades, from
sheol, from the tomb, on tho third day.
He, as the First-fruits of the sleeping
ones, is an example ana a guarantee
of the fulfillment of the Divine prom
ise, thot "there shall be a resurrection
of the dead, both of the just and of the
unjust"
It behooves us to take a decided
stand, either with the Grecian philoso
phers and their theories, or with the
Bible, The two are In conflict nnd
whoever attempts to hold both Is In
confusion. If the dead are not dead,
then no human being Is dead. And if
no one is dead, how could there be a
resurrection of the dead?
The Inconsistency of the theory held
respecting the resurrection of the body
has Invited a very reasonable and just
criticism. The skeptic asks. "How
could the body be resurrected, after
it has gone to dust and after the dust
has been scattered to tho four winds?"
They tell us of a grave that was open
ed near an apple tree, and It wns found
thnt a root from the tree had entered
the coffin andpractlcally absorbed the
corpse, from which it had produced
thousands of apples, which In turn
had been shipped to various parts of
the world, some of the poorer grades
being fed to bogs, whose hams were
cured and sent abroad and thus passed
into other human beings, to become
parts of still other human bodies. The
question Is a proper one, but it Is an
unanswerable one from the standpoint
of our former mLsbelief and our poor
attempt to combine human phlloso
pliy and Dlvlno Revelation.
But such a question brings no con
sternation to the BIblo student who
follows the Scriptures alone. The
Scriptures never speak of the resurrec
tlon of our bodies. They do tell of the
resurrection of the soul, and that In
the resurrection God glvetu it (the
soul) a body as it pleaseth Illm.
How reasonable It will be for the
world to be awakened In practically
the condition In which they went down
Into death! And these will experience.
If willing and obedient, a gradual res
urrection or raising up to the Image
and likeness of Father Adam In bis
perfection. But some In the resurrec
tion will receive spirit bodies like unto
the angels, and some like unto the
body of Christ In His resurrection,
which Raul of Tarsus beheld "shining
above the brightness of the sun at
noonday."
The class that Is promised a resur
rection ;.i spirit bodies Is the Church
Ihe saintly few who walk In the foot
steps of Jesus. The begetting of the
Holy Spirit which conies to these
changes their nature from earthly to
spiritual. If they are faithful to their
covenant their resurrection will be
to glory, honor and Immortality, as
explained by St Paul In the context,
saying. "It Is sown In weakness. It Is
raised In power; It Is sown In dlshon
or, it Is raised In glory; It Is sown an
animal body. It Is raised a spirit
body."
This Is a description of the resurrec
tion which God has promised to all
the members of the Body of Christ
which Is tho Church. St Paul de
clares that the members of this Body
fall asleep, to awaken In the glorious
morning of the New Dispensation.
But he adds. "We shall not all aleeo"
some will oe alive ana remain uu
the second coming of Jesus. These,
however, will not take precedence over
the sleeping ones. for. "The dead
Christ shall rise first; theu we which
re alive and remalu "shall be changed
lu a moment. In the twinkling of an
eye,
because "flesh and blood
cannot Inherit the Kingdom of God."
As the death of Jesus was absolutely
necessary as 'fha iitonlng price for hu
man sin. so fhe'resnrrectloo of Jesus
was absolutely necessary, thut He
might' uot remain, dead through' all
eternity, but be glorified, and, In due
time, come ngalu to effect the resur
rection of His Church and, subse
quently, the awukenlng and uplifting
of nil the families of tho earth. -
Hearkefl to the special promlso made
to the Church: "Blessed and holy is he
that hath part in the First Resurrec
tion; on such the Second Death hath
no power, but they shall be priests of
God, nnd of Christ, and shall reign
with Ulm a thousand years." (Reve
lation xx, C.) Also note the promise
of tho world's resurrection: "There
shall be a resurrection, both of the just
and the unjust" (Acts xxlv, 15.)
Again, "They that have done evil"
shall come forth, that they may enjoy
a resurrection effected by "Judgments,"
disciplines, chastisements, which will
develop In them character; and the
glory which will be attained will be
perfection a raising up to all at first
nossessed by Father Adam, lost
through disobedience, and redeemed by
the precious blood of Christ John v,
28, 20, R. V.
"A Kind of First-Fruits."
Every Sunday Is a memorial of the
resurrection of our Lord from the
dead, and If a proper conception of tho
Master's resurrection were kept In
mind we would not think of quarreling
with the expression "Easter Sunday."
But alas, this name Easter is asso
ciated with heathen philosophies and
idolatries, which did so much to make
the Word of God of none effect; and
the fact should be noted that It is the
name of a Greek goddess. The com
promising spirit induced some of the
early Church to admit the heathen
philosophies and to commlnglo with
these the inspired teachings of the Bi
ble; but now there Is the loud call to
true Christians to rid themselves of
science and philosophy "falsely so
called," nnd to return to the Biblical
simplicity of the Divine Revelation.
Of this Revelation alone St Peter
declares, "It Is able to make you wise
unto salvation," and to "give you an
inheritance among all them which are
sanctified." And again, "The Word
of God is sufficient, that the man of
God may be thoroughly furnished unto
every good work." Let us today, then,
rejoice In nim who died for our sins
and who rose on the third day for our
Justification.
Let us rid our minds of the foolish
thought that He did not really die. that
He only teemed to die that when the
Roman soldiers crucified Illm. He sim
ply got out of nis body, laughed at
y.j b w.
them and said. "I have not died at al
I could not die; you could not kill Me.

Let us remember rather the Divine
Word on the subject: "Christ died for
our sins": "He poured out His soul
unto death"; "Ho made Ills soul an of
fering for sin." Lot us remember tho
assuronce of the Bible that eventual
ly "lie Fhall see the fruits of the tra
vail of His soul and shall be satisfied."
Let us rejoice also in the assuranco
of the Apostle that Ills soul was not
left In hades, sheol, death, but that God
raised Illm from the dead on the third
day. .
Not an Additional Proof.
If Christ did not die. then the death
peualty upon Adam and bis race has
not been met Those who claim that
lie did not dlo, that merely Ills body
died, are illogical. They profess to be
lieve that Jesus accomplished for us a
redemptive work, that Ho died. "The
Just for the unjust." If Christ, the
Redeemer, "poured out His soul unto
death, and If His resurrection meant
the recovery of Ills soul or being out
of death, wherein Is the logic iu the
declaration of some that It Is not thus
with the Church nor with the world T
If Jesus did not go to Heaven when
ne died If He went Into hades. Into
the grave, Into sheol, into death, who
has the temerity to say that others go
direct to Heaven or Hell or Purgatory?
Let us be consistent. The wages of
sin Is not Purgatory, nor a Hell of tor
ture, in some far-off place. On the
contrary, 'The wages of sin is death."
The Redeemer died and rose; and this
la the assurance, that He who raised
up Jesus from the dead will raise us
up also, by Jesus, through nis spirit
and power; and not only so, but also
the world of mankind, all who were
Involved In the death sentence upon
the first man.
Therefore, the entire world Is In
cluded In the death payment made by
the Great Redeemer, that "As by man
came death, by a man also shall come
the resurrection of the dead; for as all
In Adam die, even so all in Christ shall
be madtt alive." Dut, says the Apos
tle, wh'.'.e every man who will come
Jtito Christ shall be made alive, each
will come forth "In bis own order."
Tho Christ company shall come forth
flrst-"the Church of the First-born,
whose names are written In heaven."
Afterwards will come those who will
become Ills at, or during, nis pres
enceduring the thousand years of
Ills Kingdom glory. The opportunity
of that thousand years will mean to
every man tho privilege of coming into
fellowship with the Redeemer and
King, Emmanuel. Whoever will ac
cept the opportunity will receive the
blessing of an admission to Messiah's
family. As the Apostle says, they will
become Ills. Under Ills heavenly
guidance and blessing and regenerat
lng influence, all such may attain agalu
to a full Image and likeness of God.
