Can we exist without a body...? What a question. Origen covers this topic somewhat in depth in chapter 2 of book 2. But really, we as Christians so often assume, almost in a Socratic way, that this earthly body will be left behind and that our being, our "soul", will be put into a new glorified body in the new Creation. Yet, what of the transition? Can the soul exist without a body?... Origen says "No", excepting the Trinity... So what of the "second life?" I guess we do not know, but this at least is a fun question to ponder.
I commented on Ethan LaFont and Abigail Brock's posts.
