1956. What a purified body is

Some maintain that people rise again after death even as to the body, and that the body would be purified. I was in a discussion today with certain spirits on this subject, and it was agreed that people do not know other than that they are clothed with a body when they enters into the other life. But it was also agreed that this body-like part yet remaining is also to die, and that then those earthly elements will be very submissive to the Lord. Then the body is said to be purified. 1748, 13 May.
