The Mystery of Creation: Chapter 3: Understanding the Trinity: Vessels

Vessels

                So clearly the body of a person and the spirit of a person are vessels that can move and feel.  This is why 1 Corinthians 15:54 says, “So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality.”  When it says this it is referring to the corruptible as our bodies and the incorruption as our spirits.  The whole section of scripture is talking about how right now as we are living on this Earth our spirits are contained within our bodies, but when we die and are resurrected our bodies will be contained within our spirits. 

                Right now our bodies are like video game avatars.  Wherever the avatar goes, the player goes.  The player controls the avatar just like the commands from the soul tell the body where to go.  The spirit, like a video game controller, relays the commands to the avatar so that the avatar obeys the commands from the player.
