Elizabeth, that's not the point. I intended this particular message to go to Vasileios Tsialos, not to the list. I don't dispute at all that it's an appropriate topic for list discussion. I will add, however, that I'm not sure that we can safely extrapolate from Paul's usage in 1 Cor 15:50 that Paul is using SARX in exactly the same sense as the word is being used in 1 John 4:2.
