Man: His Personality

Summary

"Here we have the compound nature of man clearly stated. While the outward man, or physical part, decays, the inward man, the soul, is renewed, etc. But if man is a unit, and the soul, spirit, mind, or whatsoever materialists may choose to call it, is but an attribute of the physical nature, which, of course, decays and perishes with it, how can it, then, when that on which it entirely depends for its existence is perishing, be renewed day by day? Materialists may understand this, but we do not. Personality is, by the apostle in this text, attributed to both soul and body. In 2 Cor. v, 1-9 the same doctrine is clearly taught, namely, that there is an intelligence capable of existing in, and being "at home in the body," and "absent from the body." "We in this tabernacle do groan," etc."
