The conviction is deep and universal that sensuousness leaves its marks on the body and debases it to the level, or even below that of the beasts ; while, on the contrary, heaven- ly-mindedness imparts to it its own spiritual 34 THE LUTHERAN DOCTRINE qualities. Sin does debase the body. The inner- most life and thoughts of men are written not only on the countenance but on the entire phy- sical structure. It is not the body that leavens and changes the spirit, but the spirit that leavens and tr...ansforms the body. This is why St. Paul prays for his people that "their whole spirit and soul and body may be preserved blameless unto the coming of the Lord Jesus. " He had no sym- pathy with that mysticism that despises the body and finds in it the source of all evil. That is Paganism. He thought of it as capable of being freed from the curse of sin, spiritualized and glorified. He thought of it as the "temple of the Holy Ghost, " and, therefore, not to be made members of "an harlot. " United as were the body and spirit in the beginning, they were never meant to be separated.
