Romans - Definition of Body
•
Ed Stevens
We first look at the lexical definition of the Greek word SOMA (body), as it relates to the uses of that word in the book of Romans. Paul uses the word "body" thirteen times in the book of Romans. We briefly look at each of those thirteen verses to determine how each of them are used, either in an individual body sense, or in a collective body sense. Several of these "body" texts have moral, ethical, and spiritual exhortations attached to them, so that if they are assigned a collective body meaning, it disconnects the individual Christian from all those moral, ethical, and spiritual exhortations. This may explain why some preterists who take the Collective Body View have fallen into universalism, antinomianism, and other false doctrines like "heaven now," "body now," "perfection now," or "sin continues in the afterlife."
