Bible Question (short): But how can sin and Holy Spirit coexist? |
Question (full): Thanks, Nolan. So, where is the distinction drawn. We know that man is created as a tri-part being, spirit, soul, and body. As I understand it, the spirit is that which can relate to God (for He is Spirit), the soul is the mind, will, and emotions (personality) in which we relate to self, and the body is the physical dwelling for the spirit and soul, through which we relate to others. So, which part of man's being is this 'new redeemed innermost self?' Which part is the unredeemed humanness? Or can't these lines be drawn? And, finally, how can sin dwell in a believer that has the Holy Spirit also dwelling in the same vessel? I, obviously, am still not sure how this can happen? In Christ, Bill Mc |
