> Okay, so I'm late in joining this thread, but I just can't let it slip by entirely. In fact, a few days before this was posted, I had been thinking of starting a new thread asking for basically the same "meaning-of-life" type responses. Further evidence that Darien and I are, in fact, the same person. ;-)

>(Resurrection of the person -- physically as well as spiritually -- is one of the most fascinating doctrines of the Bible, and it's interesting to contrast it with the idea of the "immortality of the soul", which in my view is an intrusion of Greek philosophy into proper Biblical teaching. But that's for another time.)

Ooo. Do tell. I'm intersted.
