Bible Question (short): Spirit, soul and body? 1 Thess 5:23 |
Question (full): Dear JVH0212, 1 Thess 5:23 says, "Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you ENTIRELY; and may your SPIRIT and SOUL and BODY be preserved complete, without blame at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ." Paul here seems to make a distinction, does he not, between spirit, soul, and body? Or Hebrews 4:12 - "For the word of God is...piercing as far as the DIVISION of soul and spirit..." I must admit that I cannot offer scriptures to say, "spirit is...soul is...body is..." As I stated in my question, my definitions are as I understand them, gleaned from my study of scriptures. I may be wrong, that is why I ask questions. But even though I cannot site a specific scripture, the Bible does use these terms and I am seeking to understand what our God is refering to. I'm not sure if I answered your question or not. What do you think of the 2 scriptures I reference to here? In Christ, Bill Mc |
