Bible Question: According to my own understanding of a man is that,a man is a spirit having a soul(mind, will and emotions) living in a body.Now where is the heart or is the heart same as a spirit if so is the Holy spirit a heart of God? thank you very much. |
Bible Answer: Hi novangeli, Welcome to the forum. Genesis 2:7, NASB, "Then the Lord God formed man of dust from the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living being." [Marginal note, Lit, soul] 1 Corinthians 15:45, "So also it is written, "The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL." The last Adam [became] a life-giving spirit." I believe that from these Scriptures we can come to the understanding that man is not a spirit. A man is a living being, a soul. An angel is a spirit. God is Spirit. The second Adam, the Man Jesus Christ [became] a life-giving spirit. But we would have to look at Hebrews to know that He has become as much better than the angels [or,Angels?] for He is sitting at the right hand of the Majesty on high. Hebrews 1:3,4, "And He is the radiance of His glory and the exact representation of His nature, and upholds all things by the word of His power. When He had made purification of sins, He sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high; having become as much better than the angels, as He has inherited a more excellent name than they." He is the Son. Please take note of my capitalization for you will find that I have an interest in that. :) P.S. I have found in my studies that writing "Holy spirit" is confusing at best. I believe in the Person of the Holy Spirit as well as being filled with the holy spirit, but can not find any understanding for Holy spirit [sic]. I hope that you will enter into this discussion; many just ask their questions and leave. From the heart, Ray |
