? Does it not happen that, when you now admit the salvation of only the soul, you ascribe it to men at the cost of half their nature? 

does this mena that nature cannot change? also, he seems obsesssed with this idea of the south and the body being tehtered, this problem of free floaitng souls escapes him. 

Tertuallian continues: 
For, by assigning immortality to the repeating of death, and incorruption to the repairing of the wasted body, he has fitted one to the raising and the other to the retrieval of the body.

and then the endless bride metapohors--just after talking about eunuchs or dried tits, or use funciton, he talks about about a bride and a bridegroom fitting together, bring a deeper complicaiton to the axiom as usefull as a eunuch at a whorehose. how can one be the full bride of christ, and therefore restore bodily fullness w/ the lack of cock.

The soul shall never be an outcast, to be had home by the bridegroom bare and naked. She has her dower, her outfit, her fortune in the flesh, which shall accompany her with the love and fidelity of a foster-sister. But suppose the flesh to be the bride, then in Christ Jesus she has in the contract of His blood received His Spirit as her spouse. Now, what you take to be her extinction, you may be sure is only her temporary retirement. It is not the soul only which withdraws from view.

 Greater cases prescribe rules for lesser ones. Is not the amputation or the crushing of a limb the death of that limb? Now, if the death of the whole person is rescinded by its resurrection, what must we say of the death of a part of him? If we are changed for glory, how much more for integrity

what of that which was born w/o a limb--if the rule for the whole is the same as the rule for the part, then does it not follow 

if "natural condition is prone to injury" does this equate the fallen body w/ the sinful body--does injury as a physical mistake correlate to injury as a moral mistake

therefore no more corruption, it being chased away by incorruption, even as death is by immortality
narrative of decay

What purpose can be served by loins, conscious of seminal secretions, and all the other organs of generation, in the two sexes, and the laboratories of embryos, and the fountains of the breast, when concubinage, and pregnancy, and infant nurture shall cease? In short, what will be the use of the entire body, when the entire body shall become useless

Paul his head cut off spurting milk, the fountains of milk from f and p, a burlesque of conatinament, none of these acts consider a set of "rigid" or contained movements constructed around ideas of use function--neither the wounds of crucifixtion, the question is not what to do when the boy stops becoming useful, but more the idea that the body in xian constructions was never useful. 

. How many voluntary eunuchs are there! How many virgins espoused to Christ! How many, both of men and women, whom nature has made sterile, with a structure which cannot procreate

will the testicles of voulntary enuchs be restored, Tertuillian still does not answer the problem of sanctified disembodiment

also the idea that you will never need sex, that christ will be the only bride you need and eucharist the only food you need maybe?
