Bible Question (short): Dear charis, could you clarify this? |
Question (full): Dear Charis, Thanks for your response. I appreciate hearing other views. I do agree with you that man is tripartate - spirit, soul, and body. But your statement, 'Our spirit is created in His holy image, but not yet turned toward God because of the influence of our fallen nature, which is flesh and soul' seems to imply that everyone's spirit is holy. You have stated that this is your belief and I do respect that. But do you have any scripture to support the implication that everyone's spirit is holy? If you do indeed beleive that every person is born with their spirit created in His holy image, then why do you say later in your post that 'our regenerated spirit reigns'? What need is there for a regenerated spirit if it is created holy at our birth? And doesn't God's Word say that the things of God are spiritually discerned, not 'soulishly' discerned? Thank you for reminding us that if we boast, we are to, like Paul, boast in the Lord and what He has done. In Him, Bill Mc |
