Nay, the divine Scripture bears witness that there
will be a resurrection of the body. God in truth says to Moses
after the flood, Even as the green herb have I given you all
things. But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood
thereof, shall ye not eat. And surely your blood of your lives
will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at
the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of
man. Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, for his blood his own
shall be shed, for in the image of God made I man Gen. ix. 3, 4, 5, 6.. How will He require the blood of
man at the hand of every beast, unless because the bodies of dead men
will rise again? For not for man will the beasts die.
