Religion & Law

?To see Christ as God and man is probably no more difficult today than it has always been, even if today there seem to be more reasons to doubt. For you it is a matter of not being able to accept what you call a suspension of the laws of the flesh and the physical, but for my part I think that when I know what the laws of the flesh and the physical really are, then I will know what God is. We know them as we see them, not as God sees them. For me it is the virgin birth, the Incarnation, the resurrection which are the true laws of the flesh and the physical. Death, decay, destruction are the suspension of these laws. I am always astonished at the emphasis the Church puts on the body. It is not the soul she says that will rise but the body, glorified?. The resurrection of Christ seems the high point of the law of nature.?
