A new mystery ...

This is the message as the crawl holds it, before anything here touched it. What the conversation shows has been through ingest: transfer encodings decoded, attachments dropped, quote markers repaired, and the archiver’s ? resolved into quotation marks and dashes. Those repairs are judgements and some of them are wrong, which is what this page is for. Email addresses are obscured here as they are everywhere else on the site, so it is before our repairs rather than byte for byte.

The natural/spiritual dichotomy is misleading, and a result of
troubled translation--though there aren't any major translations that
get it right.  Some even call it physical/spiritual.
http://bible.cc/1_corinthians/15-44.htm

The words involved are psuchikon and pneumatikon, deriving from psuche
and pneuma.  Pneuma is "spirit", but psuche is usually translated as
"soul" or sometimes as "being".  The idea of "life-force" isn't far
off.  There's a perfectly good Greek word meaning "natural":  phusike,
which has descended to us in "physical".
