1 | spirit/soul | John 1:14 | Norrie | 11078 | ||
OK, I'm not an expert, going on what I've had taught here. Sometimes soul and spirit are used interchangeably but sometimes they are not. Your spirit is your inner you that lives on forever, it is what has to get reborn. Your soul is your mind, will and emotions, it is what has to be retrained or brought under submission. Romans 12 2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, that you may prove what is that good and acceptable and perfect will of God. This refers to your mind or the soulish realm, it is where you think and feel at. Your spirit gets reborn but your soul does not. If you think a certain way, you have to work or train yourself to think different, you bring it into submission-understand? There are many scriptures that they are used interchangeably, but many that are separate, I don't know the original language words so someone who does will have to do a research there but a few passages where they are used separately are: 1 Thessalonians 5:23 1 Thessalonians 5 1 Thessalonians 5:22-24 Blessing and Admonition Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. Hebrews 4:12 Hebrews 4 Hebrews 4:11-13 For the word of God is living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart. |

MacArthur's note at Heb 4:12. "*division of soul and spirit.* These terms do not describe two separate entities (any more than 'thoughts and intents' do) but are used as one might say 'heart and soul' to express fullness. Elsewhere these two terms are used interchangeably to describe man's immaterial self, his eternal inner person" (p. 1903, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). MacArthur's note at 1 Thess 5:23. "*whole spirit, soul, and body.* This comprehensive reference makes the term 'completely' more emphatic. By using spirit and soul, Paul was not indicating that the immaterial part of man could be divided into two substances (compare Heb 4:12). The two words are used interchangeably throughout Scripture. There can be no division of these realities, but rather they are used as other texts use multiple terms for emphasis. Nor was Paul a believer in a 3-part human composition, but rather two parts: material and immaterial" (p. 1850, MacArthur Study Bible, Word Publishing, 1997). (Note: many, many Scriptures were cited by MacArthur in the above note on 1 Thess 5:23 -- too numerous for me to include in this posting. However, one can read and look up for oneself the Scripture references cited in the MacArthur Study Bible.) --JVH0212 "In essentials unity, in nonessentials liberty, and in all things charity." |
