State (5)
An intermediate mediate state ought not to be confused with a Platonic notion of "the immortal mortal soul;"
John W. Cooper
Body, Soul, and Life Everlasting Her position in the state is not assigned her by the permission of the government, but Jure divino. She has her own organization. She possesses her own office-bearers... the sovereignty of the state and the sovereignty of the church exist side by side, and they mutually limit each other.
Calvinism protests against state-omnipresence; against the horrible conception that no right exists above and beyond existing laws; and against the pride of absolutism.
We must ever watch against the danger which lurks, for our personal liberty, in the power of the state.
If to be absent from the body for me is to be with the Lord - still "in Christ" and "living together with him" as I am already now - then I must exist between my death and the resurrection.
