1 | SOUL AND SPIRIT | James 2:26 | aprilrose | 39 | ||
In 1 Thessalonians 5:23 God's word tells us that man has a body a soul and a spirit. The spirit is the part of us that makes the difference between us and animals. It enables us to have a relationship with God, who is spirit. (John 4:24) This verse further states He must be worshiped in spirit and in truth. The spirit is what enables us to reason and know. It is the intellectual part. It is this part that makes us responsible for responding to God's provision of salvation in Jesus. The soul is what makes the difference physical life and death. The soul is the seat of our emotions, feelings and wants or desires. Humans have 3 parts: body, soul and spirit. Angels are spirits and animals have body and soul only. My understanding of this subject has been deepened by WHAT THE BIBLE TEACHES which is an Emmaus Bible commentary Published by Emmaus Bible College is Dubuque, Iowa. |

2 | Ref. on animals having no spirit? | James 2:26 | AshleyC | 54079 | ||
I have always been taught that the spirit is what makes the difference between life and death and the soul is the part that lives forever in either heaven or hell after death. Is there somewhere in the Bible where this is spelled out more clearly than in I Thes. 5:23? I understand that we worship in spirit, but doesn't the Bible say that all flesh worships God? Doesn't that mean animals because they are his creation? | ||||||

First of all, after death the soul does not live on forever in heaven or hell. After a person dies, he/she goes into the ground and awaits the coming of Christ. May I recommend that you read 1 Thess 4:10 on. Verse 16 clearly states that the "dead" in Christ shall rise when He returns again. Pray before reading the chapter. Although all flesh worships God, our Creator, does not necessarily mean that animals worship Him. That is a question we need to ask our Creator when we see Him face to face. | ||||||
