Bible Note: Doc I read a lot of what you had to say to one Pastor Glenn I may freely assume that you view the use of the words "spirit" and "soul" in 1 Thessalonians 5:23 and Hebrews 4:12 to be interchangeable. I am trying hard to see this. I see from your posts on this that you view the concpet of Trichotism to be an invention of the Greek philosophers. I am wondering since two NT writers bothered to separate the words soul, spirit with the use of the word "and", and seeing as how they chose to use two different Greek words there is no such thing as a trichotimist view as being "Biblical", rather than as "Greek". How are we to say that the writers of the NT meant to use them interchangeably while in the same sentence used as two different aspects of the human spiritual essence? I saw your explanation that the "division of the soul and the spirit" means both were divided, as in searched out (bad paraphrase), rather than divided from one another. However, the writers of the NT did not say that both were divided in themselves but from one another, as if there were two things being put assunder from one another. Granted this is only found in two NT sources and that the case for dichotism if far stronger throughout the OT. Perhaps you could point me to some other posts than the long one I read all of with Pastor Glenn in it, if you don't feel like getting into this again. I happen to agree with your assessment, not as if you needed me to, but I do, that tolerance of people should be separated from tolerance of ideas. 1 Corinthians 1:20 Where is the wise man? Where is the Scribe? Where is the debator of this age? Has not God made foolish the wisdom of the world? blessings abound, bowler |
