Normally, no sensible person would bother arguing how the head of the body is the head, and without the head, the body is dead, even as without the spirit that is in the head.
But these are not sensible times: Modern OSAS teaches a kind of soul separation from the body at salvation, so that when the soul is saved, the soul becomes separated from the body, so that the soul is forever heavenly preserved blameless of any more sinning of the old hapless body on earth. (A unique twist on being 'left behind')
And so, the old man of sin therefore has no more soul to head over it nor guide it, which means, when the soul is saved, the soul departs upward, while the poor old sinning body remains downward still sinning: Their old bodies are beheaded of their souls, Beheaded old bodies of sin.
This is how they are able to say that it is no more I in my body doing the sinning, but that old sinful body doing all things on it's own.
This is how they are also able to claim that they love God in the soul, spirit, and mind, but are simply unable to stop that old hapless body from sinning, This is the self-justifying double heartedness for life they say Rom 7 teaches for all Christians still on earth.
When they say they can't help themselves from sinning in the flesh, they are simply saying their souls are now too far away in heaven to do anything about it: the headless body is now become it's own head called the old man of sin.
One person even goes so far as to agree that the old body now is sort of on autopilot for the rest of it's days, It is only now doing what it was predetermined and programmed to do at the foundation of the earth: a sort of premade video just being played out to the end.
Rebuttal:
It is therefore necessary to show by Scripture, how that the soul is the head and headship of the body, while the body remains alive on earth:
And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
We see here, that God breathed into the nostrils of man's body the breath of Life, so that man became a living soul: The living soul is in the head and is the living headship of the body.
No soul, no headship, no head for the body: Beheaded on earth.
There is no body on earth, whose soul is not their headship within their mortal bodies. (I know, redundancy ad nauseum, but necessary when refuting the Great Mystery of OSAS)
And not holding the Head, from which all the body by joints and bands having nourishment ministered, and knit together, increaseth with the increase of God.
We see here once again that the soul is the head of the body, living within the body.
Christ is the living Soul of the everlasting God, in whose image we are created by Christ, Therefore, even as He was head of His on body unto death on the cross, so are we.
So then, from the womb, the soul of man created alive by the spirit of Christ is the headship of the mortal body, and remains so through all our days on earth: the soul never departs nor is separated from the body, nor is it without responsibility for the deeds, else the body be left headless with no headship at all.
Conclusion:
Jesus Christ does not come and send our heads to heaven, while He takes over the body: Christianity is not spirit possession.
OSAS literally teaches a christ possession of their old bodies, while they go away to a far higher country, waiting for their resurrected spiritual bodies to catch up with them.
Their old hapless sinful bodies are not beheaded of the old sinning and now newly living soul, that is flown away to heaven on wings of angels, while the spirit within them takes over to watch it all play out unto the end.
OSAS teaching of soul separation from the body is demon possession of the flesh.
Why? Just to get rid of James 2 and deny that we are justified by works in the flesh, which does not include sinning for the devil against God.
