Soul Sleeping.—The Florida Christian Advocate, noticed elsewhere with reference to the Sabbath question, seems to have said some things in its issue of the 13th ultimo with special reference to us. It thinks that believing that all future life for the dead depends on the resurrection contradicts "all that great mass of Scripture which contrasts the soul with the body, and the testimony of Jesus that men can kill the body but cannot kill the soul." Nay, but our view is the only view that is in harmony with the Scriptures. Paul says that if there be no resurrection of the dead, there is no hope, and that even they that are fallen asleep in Christ are perished. 1 Cor 15:12-18. But if the soul go to reward at death, what need of the resurrection? what need of Christ's coming? what need of the judgment? True, man cannot eventually destroy life or the soul, but Christ can and will "destroy both soul and body" of the finally impenitent. We believe in a soul, body, and spirit of man, but we deny their immortality and conscious existence apart from the body carnal or glorified.
