Bible Question:
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 |
Bible Answer: Speaking for myself, I do NOT "know that man is created as a tri-part being, spirit, soul, and body." Can you quote Scripture, chapter and verse, to support your definition of spirit and your definition of soul? How or where does the Bible differentiate or define the difference between the two? Notice, I am well aware of the verses of Scripture that refer to man's spirit, soul and body. That is not my question. My question is what specific scriptures differentiate between and define soul and spirit? I pose these questions in all sincerity, humility and honesty. I have searched for years and I have never found where the Bible defines the soul and the spirit as you define them here. I appreciate you and your interest in the things of God, Bill.
