Christ is The Resurrection. The resurrection is not an act in the future, but it is Christ. He is the resurrection, which means as we learn of Christ we are being resurrected. The resurrection is not a one time future event but a daily, hourly, minute by minute rising from the carnal mind under the firmament, to a descending from the firmament above, which means in less parabolic terms, our thoughts are descending from the spiritual realm into the natural realm and then ascending back up above the natural from what the spiritual teaches us. This is the process of resurrection.
“And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. “
“But unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. Wherefore he saith, When he ascended up on high, he led captivity captive, and gave gifts unto men. (Now that he ascended, what is it but that he also descended first into the lower parts of the earth? He that descended is the same also that ascended up far above all heavens, that he might fill all things.) And he gave some, apostles; and some, prophets; and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers; For the perfecting of the saints, for the work of the ministry, for the edifying of the body of Christ: TILL we all come in the unity of the faith, and of the knowledge of the Son of God, unto a perfect man, unto the measure of the stature of the fulness of Christ: That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive; But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him (RESURRECT) in all things, which is the head, even Christ: From whom the whole body fitly joined together and compacted by that which every joint supplieth, according to the effectual working in the measure of every part, maketh increase of the body unto the edifying of itself in love.”
The carnal mind thinks in carnal thoughts that do not rise above their own heads. The Spiritual mind rises into the heavens, above what the natural mind can comprehend. Terrestrial vs Celestial.
“There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.”
Our resurrection is not a one time act in the future but a daily recreation ascending above the terrestrial into the celestial. This is why Christ said to Martha when she thought it was a future, literal resurrection:
“Jesus saith unto her, Thy brother shall rise again. Martha saith unto him, I know that he shall rise again in the resurrection at the last day. Jesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Believest thou this? She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.”
Our natural creation was created subject to vanity for the purpose of resurrecting above the corruption of vanity into the realm of the celestial where everything has purpose. Everything is subject to vanity yet even the vanity has a purpose. Last night my flesh wanted to sleep because the vain thought I had was I wanted to be rested naturally so I could get some things done that my vain thoughts had been subject to. But I did not get very much sleep yet woke up not feeling as tired as my carnal mind says I should have been. Christ is my rest not my sleep. I just resurrected above my terrestrial carnal mind into the celestial mind, spiritual. Natural flesh is subject to natural law but the spiritual mind of Christ rises above natural law. When we resurrect above natural law, and see Christ as the source of everything, even the natural benefits from it.
“For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us. For the earnest expectation of the creature waiteth for the manifestation of the sons of God. For the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope, Because the creature itself also shall be delivered from the bondage of corruption into the glorious liberty of the children of God.”
As an Elect, we are being resurrected every day, every minute by the spirit of God. Our carnal mind is being delivered from the vanity of the terrestrial into the celestial, which means we are learning not to be carried away by every thought (wind of doctrine) that passes through our heavens. We are learning to judge every thought based on its usefulness for the body of Christ. (Bring every thought into the subjection of Christ.) How will it be useful for the growth of the church? It begins to think for the body and not for its own individualistic nature. It is based on the love of the body of Christ and for the body of Christ. It stops thinking individualistic, terrestrial, and thinks universal, celestial. I am not speaking about what’s best for mankind in the natural literal world, but specifically for the church of God. It first starts inside myself, my own world, and then goes outward to the church as a whole. Again, I am not speaking of a denomination, or a sect or for all of mankind, but for the Elect of God who are hidden throughout the literal, natural world.
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that heareth my word, and believeth on him that sent me, hath everlasting life, and shall not come into condemnation; but is passed from death unto life. Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. For as the Father hath life in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself; And hath given him authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man. Marvel not at this: for the hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
If you are an Elect then your deadness is hearing and rising from the grave of your vanity. A vain life is one based solely on your fleshly wants and desires. A terrestrial earth that is BOUND by things that your flesh desires. When you begin to hear the voice of Christ then at the same time you are being judged. Judged in the sense that you are given to judge the reason you do the things you do. Some things have life and some things are judged unto condemnation. Love is always resurrected into life and hatred is always condemned. To love Christ and the church above your own wants, needs, and your own time is to be given life and partake of the celestial, the eternal, which means we are given to resurrect above the grave of the flesh and its natural laws. What oncw meant so much to us becomes vain and corrupt.
“Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise. Awake and sing, ye that dwell in dust: for thy dew is as the dew of herbs, and the earth shall cast out the dead.”
The natural laws of the flesh that we have been bound to are vanity. They do not rise or resurrect above into the celestial heavens above the firmament.
“And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters. And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so. And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day. And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.”
When we are still bound by carnal thinking then our thoughts are based on the terrestrial, the flesh, the waters, the doctrines, under the firmament, which are subject to vanity. All waters under the firmament are used on the flesh and from those waters more terrestrial appears, more of you, dry land appears. But if you are being resurrected then you are seeing great lights in your heavens and now they are controlling your earth, your earth is no longer controlling your heavens.
“And God said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, and for days, and years: And let them be for lights in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth: and it was so. And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night: he made the stars also. And God set them in the firmament of the heaven to give light upon the earth, And to rule over the day and over the night, and to divide the light from the darkness: and God saw that it was good.”
The great Light is Christ and the other is The Church. The stars are the prophets and Apostles and anyone who carries the truth to others to give them light in darkness. These great lights expose the vanity of our earth and our earth is controlled by them. The natural laws of the earth are then controlled by the greater lights, greater truths and we die to self and rise from the dead vanity of our fleshly lives. We then are driven to seek out those who are of the same heavenly mind as us. We desire to dwell in the heavens together as ONE body and not as separate stars existing in our own universe.
“For who maketh thee to differ from another? and what hast thou that thou didst not receive? now if thou didst receive it, why dost thou glory, as if thou hadst not received it? Now ye are full, now ye are rich, ye have reigned as kings without us: and I would to God ye did reign, that we also might reign with you.”
“Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe to him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up. Again, if two lie together, then they have heat: but how can one be warm alone? And if one prevail against him, two shall withstand him; and a threefold cord is not quickly broken. ”
The earth is reseeding itself over and over again as God designed it to do. Year after year the earth has continued to reseed itself in the vanity of the flesh and for the flesh.
“And God said, Let the earth bring forth grass, the herb yielding seed, and the fruit tree yielding fruit after his kind, whose seed is in itself, upon the earth: and it was so.”
It is unnatural to not be self centered and always put self above others, to self seed. The vanity of the world has seemingly gotten wiser in itself. It has sown tremendous amounts of seed in itself. The internet is a good example of this. Ask it any question and it queues up a response gathered from itself – all the worldly ideas of man compiled together, aptly called A.I., or Artificial Intelligence. It is artificial because it is not based on God as its Author and the source of ALL. This little truth is the greatest enemy of Christ and His body. This little truth is played out in the Israelites getting defeated by the little place called Ai in Joshua 7. They thought this little place was too small to pray to God about and in the end they were defeated by such a small thought. Even the smallest thought, if it doesn’t begin and end with Christ as The Creator is artificial intelligence and will defeat you every time. Little thoughts are tested/judged a thousand times a day in every detail of life. We have been flooded with artificial intelligence since birth but like Noah and the ark, Christ has brought our ark to rest on a mountaintop and the process must begin of reseeding the earth, but with the ONE seed from above, Who is Christ, Who is all things. The earth reseeding itself is a parable of how we naturally, as an “earthy” being, have been about self and only self. But the Elect are being taught to seed each other, not their own earth.
The Church is one body made up of hands, feet, arms and legs, etc. and we all, if Elect, should be desiring to seek the needs of the other parts of this body. When one part of the body suffers or is weak, the whole body suffers. Natural law of the flesh says I have my own seed to plant and you have yours. But the truth says, if we are Elect, then we all have the same ONE seed, Christ, and are to be spreading that seed for the benefit of the NEW EARTH, called the church, which is made up of other believers. What grows from that one seed feeds us all. We need you and you need us because as the body we are to grow together into the Bride of Christ. We are all in the process of resurrecting from a dead body of unbelievers. The new heaven and earth is first within us and then it translates to other believers. As more Elect are gathered together the new heaven and new earth grow. The celestial overtakes the terrestrial.
“Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.”
The Celestial taking over the terrestrial is the Elect becoming one mind. This is why we are told to come out of the world because the world is terrestrial and any seed passed on by them is only for the flesh, its temporal and terrestrial. This is why the Elect come together and spend time together because as a united body they know they are not an individual earth anymore. God has used animals, the natural, to explain the spiritual. Most animals pack together with their own kind. Most humans have the same natural tendency to pack together with those of their same mind. This parable in the natural is to be seen and taken seriously in the spiritual realm. We are the last of the Elect that are being gathered in the eleventh hour. We are being resurrected from this world for the glory of Christ. But to be resurrected we must die to the literal world. We must be separate from the world to be resurrected from it. To separate from the world is to resurrect from it. This must first happen from your world within and it will translate to the world out there. This is what Christ said.
“If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple. And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.”
It is a high calling to be called and chosen to be in the kingdom of God. We should never take it lightly or with a flippant attitude. If we do then we shall suffer the consequences if we are an Elect. We should take great thought into what we are setting out to do.
“For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it? Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him, Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish. Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand? Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace. So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple. “
To begin our resurrecting process we must deny ourselves. This is hating our own life. We must deny what we think we know, who we think we are, what power we think we possess and give everything to Christ as The Author and Finisher of all that we are. All we have is because of Him and solely because of Him. We do not possess a free will independent from Him and we are not little gods separate from Him. If you have read the “about” page you know that these writings are not meant for proselytizing anyone but for the purpose of gathering other Elect from the four corners of the world together into one mind. If we are being resurrected then we are leaving our world behind and looking for the new heaven and new earth. Just like in the world when you desire to speak to your natural family and desire to be with them so in the body of Christ we should have an even stronger desire to be with our spiritual family. The natural is merely a shadow of the truth of the spiritual. If we have the desire to be one with Christ then any oneness we have with the world is dying and we are resurrecting from it.
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit. He that loveth his life shall lose it; and he that hateth his life in this world shall keep it unto life eternal. If any man serve me, let him follow me; and where I am, there shall also my servant be: if any man serve me, him will my Father honour.”
These words of Christ are seen by the Elect as the last trumpet calling them out of their Babylonian lives and resurrecting into a new heaven and new earth where Christ reigns supreme over all. Give it all up now and you get more in the life to come and now in this life. But the death of the old man must come first. From death comes life. The man of sin must be seen first before he is destroyed and we rise from the earth he was made from. It is a troubling thought to my flesh to let its desires fall to the ground and die for someone else but that is exactly what must happen. To serve Christ, our old man must die and that troubles him. The following words are just as much to us as they were to Christ literally.
“Now is my soul troubled; and what shall I say? Father, save me from this hour: but for this cause came I unto this hour. Father, glorify thy name. Then came there a voice from heaven, saying, I have both glorified it, and will glorify it again. The people therefore, that stood by, and heard it, said that it thundered: others said, An angel spake to him. Jesus answered and said, This voice came not because of me, but for your sakes. Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out. And I, if I be lifted up from the earth, will draw all men unto me. This he said, signifying what death he should die.”
It is glorifing to God for us to die to the flesh and live unto Him and when we do He will glorify us even more.
“Verily, verily, I say unto thee, When thou wast young, thou girdedst thyself, and walkedst whither thou wouldest: but when thou shalt be old, thou shalt stretch forth thy hands, and another shall gird thee, and carry thee whither thou wouldest not. This spake he, signifying by what death he should glorify God. And when he had spoken this, he saith unto him, Follow me.”
This is not speaking of Peter’s literal physical death but “signified” his death to self, to no longer be “self-willed.” As an Elect, the seed of Christ is in you, which means He will pick you up and carry you where your flesh would not. He will cause you to give up more than could even imagine. But all that is lost is also replaced with greater riches than you could imagine. God is faithful and the more He causes us to sacrifice now the more He promises we’ll get later as we resurrect.
“Then Peter began to say unto him, Lo, we have left all, and have followed
thee. And Jesus answered and said, Verily I say unto you, There is no man that hath left house, or brethren, or sisters, or father, or mother, or wife, or children, or lands, for my sake, and the gospel’s, But he shall receive an hundredfold now in this time, houses, and brethren, and sisters, and mothers, and children, and lands, with persecutions; and in the world to come eternal life. “
It’s easy to sit on the couch and read these words. It’s easy to agree with something and then walk away thinking you’re already doing all you need to do. But what isn’t easy is to deny your flesh and become one with others. It’s hard for the flesh to not forsake the assembling of ourselves together and fight the inward battle of persecutions that come with resurrecting daily. The word “assembling” in Hebrews 10:25 is translated “gathering” in 2 Thessalonians 2:1, where it says,
“Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him”
“Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.”
We are being gathered in the resurrection now if we are Elect. We are ascending if we have first descended into the lower parts of our earth. As Jacob saw Angels descending and ascending in his vision so we too should be seeing what we are in the terrestrial and then ascend above it in the celestial.
“And he dreamed, and behold a ladder set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to heaven: and behold the angels of God ascending and descending on it. “
This is mortal taking on immortality. This IS-RAEL, the Israel of God. When we begin to resurrect we leave the artificial intelligence and what we become IS REAL. What we are IS REAL and what we are taught by artificial intelligence is not real. As the graves were opened after Christ’s literal resurrection and people walked into the city so we too are being resurrected and walking into the new Jerusalem, appearing before many (all the many within us who do not yet believe), denying the artificial intelligence we have learned from the man of sin within us, taking up our cross and following Christ.
“And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent; And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.”
Abram left Ur of the Chaldees. Chaldees (H3778) means “astrologer, clod breaker and wise”. Leave what U R (you-are) breaking up hard ground where you’ve been planting your seeds of artificial intelligence and enter The I AM and what you will become IS REAL (Israel). Become immortal by leaving the mortal thoughts of your wisdom separate and independent from God. Everyday should be a teaching of what is real and what is artificial. An ox is not an ox. A dog is not a dog. A tree is not a tree. A mountain is not a mountain. Leaven is not leaven. Everything we see in the natural is a parable of the spiritual.
“And when his disciples were come to the other side, they had forgotten to take bread. Then Jesus said unto them, Take heed and beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees. And they reasoned among themselves, saying, It is because we have taken no bread. Which when Jesus perceived, he said unto them, O ye of little faith, why reason ye among yourselves, because ye have brought no bread? Do ye not yet understand, neither remember the five loaves of the five thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? Neither the seven loaves of the four thousand, and how many baskets ye took up? How is it that ye do not understand that I spake it not to you concerning bread, that ye should beware of the leaven of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees? Then understood they how that he bade them not beware of the leaven of bread, but of the doctrine of the Pharisees and of the Sadducees.”
“And he looked up, and said, I see men as trees, walking. After that he put his hands again upon his eyes, and made him look up: and he was restored, and saw every man clearly.”
What we see with our natural eyes tells us about the spiritual. What we feel in the natural tells us about the spiritual. The other day I had a headache. When I told my wife she asked me what I had been thinking. I told her my thoughts and we prayed and the headache left me. The headache was a symptom of a spiritual head ache, thoughts that were centered on flesh. Yesterday I had heartburn, again we prayed and the heartburn left me. I had been thinking about the things that I was putting in this study. These are examples of the celestial ruling the terrestrial.
“And they said one to another, Did not our heart burn within us, while he talked with us by the way, and while he opened to us the scriptures?”
Everything has God as The Author and the Finisher, not what I eat or because of some other natural occurrence. Mixing with the world (within and the world out there) causes us literal sickness and when confessed the natural is overcome by the spiritual. This is resurrecting from the grave of our dead lives in which we have existed. Christ said “I Am The Resurrection.” To be in Christ is to begin our resurrection from this world within that causes separation from truth. Focus on the natural reap the natural consequences. Focus on the spiritual reap eternal life. Fit into the world and we shall reap from the world. Fashion yourself after the world and you shall die with it. If you stop and examine your thoughts, you will be surprised by what has caused you to be sick or in pain. If you are an Elect then God will open your understanding and the natural mortal will be swallowed up by the spiritual. The sting of the dead thoughts based on natural laws will fade away into the spiritual. God is All things. Not some things but All things. Everything exists because of Christ and Christ alone. I was naturally a drunk for years until The Lord showed me I was drunk on the false doctrine of Babylon. He then removed the false doctrines and the natural fell away also. Once He moved me to stop craving Babylonian drink, He removed the literal desire for alcohol. Babylonian drink is self love. Self love in any thought brings a consequence. Put Christ and His body of believers first, love them above yourself and the sting of death based on the law of self love will fall away. You will be healthier and happier. When we stop mixing with the world within us of self love, self preservation, and self glorification and we will begin to resurrect. Our prayer for ourselves and each other should be to ask God to free us from our world within and to put Him above all things and love Him above ourselves and all things. As God frees us from listening to vain words from the world, family, friends, co-workers, etc., and from our very own thoughts we will begin to experience eternal life. Don’t take pride in what the world takes pride in. Forsake the Babylonian holidays. Forsake worshipping the day your flesh was created called birthdays. Forsake keeping days, months, times and years and see how fast your so-called loved ones and friends will turn on you. When we walk away from the world we can experience what Enoch experienced, “for he was not.” See God as All and we won’t be.
“And Enoch walked with God: and he was not; for God took him.”
“By faith Enoch was translated that he should not see death; and was not found, because God had translated him: for before his translation he had this testimony, that he pleased God.”
We fight daily against the worldly doctrines in us concerning health, tomorrow, money, planning, and whatever worldly doctine that puts its artificial intelligence before The One and Only. It is a daily, hourly, minute by minute struggle against years of believing a lie. We are not floating around on clouds with nice comfortable concepts about life but are daily battling our flesh. Minute by minute we are confessing ignorance of truth and fighting against the flesh who just wants to relax with the world and turn off the constant war. It is the parable of the constant wars Israel fought against the Canaanites. But we should not be alarmed by these wars because Christ said they would come.
“Take heed that no man deceive you. For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many. And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet. For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places. All these are the beginning of sorrows. Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name’s sake. “
The nation of the carnal mind against the nation of Truth are the wars, rumours of wars, and nation against nation Christ spoke about. All of it is inside of us, not outward in a literal world war III as I used to believe, where a literal man of sin would set up camp in literal Israel and Christ would ride in on a literal white horse battling against some evil man. My natural understanding read like a comic book. God’s wisdom is foolishness to the natural man. However, the SPIRITUAL war inside of the Elect is real, more real than even any natural event because it has eternal consequences.
If you’re reading this and you think it’s just a nice study and it makes you feel good but doesn’t give you the desire to separate from the world and interact with the Body then you may as well turn on the t.v., surf the internet and slide back into the grave. You may as well put on fancy clothes, go to the nicest resturants and mix with the “in crowd” and enjoy what you have now, because it is all you’ll have. All who have faith without works, as James says, have their place with the rest of the world in the place of the dead, the place of the unknown to God, called Hades. You cannot be lukewarm, God will spew you out of His mouth. Live like the world or live like a king destined for eternity with Christ. As David, the Psalmist said, the dead know nothing. There will be no tomorrow for the dead. God is the God of the living, living because we are living in Him. We all have fleshly families in the world and I am not saying we should hate them. However, the Truth that is in us should hate the lies that reside in them. What concord has the truth with lies? None. The lies are what we are turning from. Christ won’t honor a self-righteous stand against family. What I am saying is that if we live our lives unto God then what we know as friends and family will separate from us. But what we lose in the flesh God will give us in spiritual family. The body of Christ will override the flesh and we can as the family of God resurrect more and more until we have walked away from this world and entered eternity with our Creator. Put The Body of Christ first, love the brotherhood above all and know what true love is, was and will be. Interact with the body and you will grow with the body.
No one goes to war by themselves to fight against an enemy that has existed for thousands of years. If you are warring as we are warring then you should know that we need each other to fight our enemy. You have something we need to help us fight and we have something you need to fight. If you are in the battle as we are then feel free to reach out to us at “being1inchrist@gmail.com” and we as a growing body can fight this war together and enter eternity. Every part of the body needs the other body parts and no body part is an individual. The hand is not the head, the eye is not the hand and no part is the whole. We all need each other to fight as a whole united body. Christ is The Head and He will use us as He needs us and as He created us to be in His body.
“For the body is not one member, but many. If the foot shall say, Because I am not the hand, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? And if the ear shall say, Because I am not the eye, I am not of the body; is it therefore not of the body? If the whole body were an eye, where were the hearing? If the whole were hearing, where were the smelling? But now hath God set the members every one of them in the body, as it hath pleased him. And if they were all one member, where were the body? But now are they many members, yet but one body. And the eye cannot say unto the hand, I have no need of thee: nor again the head to the feet, I have no need of you.”
