The materialists reject the spirit. Pagans and transhumanists reject the body.

But to be human is to be a creature comprised of body and soul.

You are not a clump of cells devoid of a spirit and neither are you a spirit “trapped” in a body.

A soul without a body is a soul stripped of an essential part of itself. A body without a soul is dead flesh. At death, the soul is away from the body for a time, but it shall receive a new body. Not via reincarnation as the pagans believe, nor through technology as the materialists and transhumanist’s fantasize about. But a perfected, imperishable, resurrection body from the Lord. A body that bears resemblance and likeness to the bodies we have now, only without blemish and sin and corruption.

This is the ultimate, glorious, eschatological endgame: A new, glorified resurrection body in a new, glorified heavens and new, glorified earth.

Not sure what you know about it, but you might be interested in some of the Latter-Day Saint doctrines, considering this is a core tenet of the lds faith.

I'd never heard anyone else talk about it this way except from writings of apostolic church fathers before the council of Nicaea. Maybe a few orthodox ive heard touch on it but not in such a committed fashion.
