Death Is Unnatural

This morning on WBAP's Mark Davis Show, Dr. Dean Adell said he couldn't understand why those who believe in a better life after death are so bent on keeping people like Terri Schiavo alive. Don't you believe her afterlife will be better?

I growled.

We were not created to be dead. Death is unnatural, a result of sin. We were made to be a composite of body and spirit. At the moment of death, our spirit is separated from our body.

Even when our spirit, or soul, "goes to heaven," that is not the final state of our being. We will be awaiting the resurrection. We'll attain our perfected state then, when our soul and body are finally reunited.

In the meantime, we should try to keep it together.
