1 | Spirit, soul and body? 1 Thess 5:23 | Rom 7:17 | Morant61 | 13184 | ||
Greetings JVHO212! LIke you, I have often wondered about the distinction between soul and spirit. The best view that I have found thus far, is that BODY plus Spirit equals SOUL. This view is based on Gen. 2:7 (KJV) which says, "And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul." This view has one very appealing aspect, it's ability to explain the connection between body and spirit. Scripture is clear that we are meant to be both body and spirit. We were created that way. After the resurrection, our body and spirit will be rejoined. Like you, I have heard many theories, but this is the one that I am comfortable with at this time. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | What if? | Rom 7:17 | wdc | 13193 | ||
Gentlemen, Don't think this is stupid, or that I am an idoit. I was thinking about this last night and this thought popped into my head. When Adam sinned, he died, not physically, but spiritually. The Bible says in Rom. 8:3-4. "For what the law could not do in that it was weak through the flesh, God did by sending His own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, on account of sin: He condemned sin in the flesh, (4) that the righteous requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us who do not walk according to the flesh but according to the Spirit." I understand this to mean that the law could not be kept in the O.T. (or the N.T. for that matter) because there was no spirit, nor Holy Spirit given to empower man to do so. The requirements of the law are fulfilled in us now because of what Christ did and the work of the Holy Spirit in us in regeneration. Now here is the wierd part. What if man, since the fall of Adam, has no spirit. (Gen. 5:3 "Adam...Begot a son in his own likeness, after his own image," It is not said that Seth was born in the image of God.) The spirit that Adam had received was directly from God, when God breathed into him the breath of life, and I believe that is the part that died, or departed when he sinned. When we are born again, we receive the Spirit of God within our beings, that's what makes us born again. Again, I'm just thinking out loud, I have a very vivid imagination, and sometimes it roams to far away places. What does anyone think about this? later...wdc |

If man had no spirit would be like the earth without wind, wdc. There would be stagnation, then death. Our spirit influences our soul, I think ... good or bad. Steve PS There are also "ladies" who read and post. BTW no one is either according to the correct definition, it was a like a title. |
