? 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 Now, if the death of the whole person is rescinded by its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?
all shall be well all shall be well and all manner of things shall be well julian of norwich
