Compare this with the fact that the animal is mortal by virtue of its organization, whilst this does not apply to man. He is mortal because of the corruption of his soul and this stain will be washed away by Christ. If you reflect upon this you will understand that the physical body must be transformed by the living force that streams into Earth evolution through the Mystery of Golgotha. When Earth evolution comes to an end the power which has been lost through the “Fall” and which brought death to the body will be restored through the power of Christ, and the body of man will be seen in its true physical form. If we recognize the trichotomy of body, soul and spirit, then the “ressurrection of the body takes on meaning also, otherwise it cannot be understood. The modern rationalist will no doubt regard this as a most reactionary idea, but he who derives his knowledge of reincarnation from the wellspring of truth is also aware of the real significance of the resurrection of the body at the end of time. And when Paul rightly said: “If Christ be not risen, then is our preaching vain, and your faith is also vain” (Cor. I.XV. 14), we know from the investigations of Spiritual Science that he bore witness to the truth. If this dictum of Paul be true, then it is equally true to say: if earthly evolution does not lead to the conservation of the corporeal form which man can perfect in the course of evolution, if the human form were to perish, if man could not rise again through the power of Christ, then the Mystery of Golgotha would have been in vain and vain also the faith that it inspired. This is the necessary complement of the words of Paul.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"title":"Lecture III","site_heading":"Christ's Cosmic Mission and the Transformation of Faith","site_heading_note":"A heading the site wrote for this unit from a summary of it; not in the edition, and not the words of Rudolf Steiner or of the translator.

Und denken Sie das im Zusammenhang mit der Wahrheit, daß das Tier durch seine Organisation sterblich ist, daß aber der Mensch nicht durch seine Organisation sterblich ist, sondern durch seine Seele, die korrumpiert ist, deren Korruption aber durch den Christus wiederum hinweggenommen wird. Denken Sie das, dann werden Sie begreifen, daß gerade mit dem Menschenleibe einmal etwas geschehen muß durch die reale Kraft, die durch das Mysterium von Golgatha in die Erdenentwickelung ausgegossen wird. Am Ende der Erdenentwickelung wird die Kraft, die verlorengegangen ist durch den Sündenfall, die den Menschenleib auflöst, wiedergewonnen sein, wird durch die Kraft des Christus wieder zurückgegeben sein, und die Menschenleiber werden dann wirklich in ihrer physischen Gestalt erscheinen. Erkennt man die Trichotomie Leib, Seele und ‘Geist, dann gewinnt auch die « Auferstehung des Fleisches» ihre Bedeutung. Sonst kann man sie nicht einsehen. Gewiß, der heutige Aufklärer wird gerade das für eine der reaktionärsten Ideen halten, aber derjenige, der aus der Wahrheit Quell heraus die wiederholten Erdenleben erkennt, erkennt auch die reale Bedeutung der Auferstehung der menschlichen Leiber am Ende des Erdendaseins. Und hat Paulus mit Recht gesagt: «Ist der Christus nicht auferstanden, so ist eitel unsere Predigt und eitel euer Glaube», so bezeugt dieses — wie wir ja auch aus den geisteswissenschaftlichen Betrachtungen wissen —, es bezeugt dieses die Wahrheit. Ist dieses wahr, so ist auch auf der anderen Seite das andere wahr: Führte die Erdenentwickelung nicht zur Konservierung der Gestalt, die der Mensch innerhalb des Erdenwerdens leiblich ausbilden kann, ginge diese Gestalt im Erdenwerden zugrunde, könnte der Mensch nicht auferstehen durch die Christus-Kraft, dann wäre das Mysterium von Golgatha eitel, und eitel der Glaube, den es gebracht hat. — Das ist die notwendige Ergänzung des Paulus-Wortes.","text_trust":"verbatim","quote_safe":true,"word_count":330,"url":"https://anthroposophy.ai/v1/steiner/de/ga/175/1917-04-10/p052"}],"english":["GA 175/1917-04-10/p050"],"method":"length","confidence":"high","correspondence":"established","length_check":{"de_words":330,"en_words":339,"ratio":1.03,"partial":false},"pairing_state":"proposed","verified":false},"witness_completeness":{"ratio":0.99,"band":"comparable","note":null,"word_count":8744,"original_word_count":8870,"may_be_abridged":false},"witness_quality":{"translator":{"scope":"unit","status":"recorded","translator":"A.
