2 Corinthians 5:8 says, "we are of good courage, I say, and prefer rather to be absent from the body and to be at home with the Lord." There is a distinction between body and soul. Just because there is a distinction between body and soul does not mean that matter is evil or that the body is evil.
I agree. That is one of the huge errors made because of an incorrect view of anthropology.
There are a number of others as well, such as believing that we have two natures in conflict with each other or believing that the soul can become as God.
Thanks for the response!
