I think with this kind of question we can only make a guess at ..I / we don't have any hard and fast scripture or anything clearly stated to dividing up, heart , soul, spirit , mind etc.
I believe that the soul and mind are linked in the soul area.
And I believe the heart sits between the soul and inner spirit...
" the door of the heart" I think the heart is the door between soul and Spirit.

But obviously, that is just my opinion.

As for order of superiority ?... Again I believe that Adam was created with his spirit in dominance ...he was a spiritual being led by The Spirit.
After the Fall I believe that Adam's soul became dominant and his spirit was pushed under.
"In Christ" we are now reversing this ..back to learning once again to being "Led by God's Spirit"..

Well Twinc/Jim
I have tried many times to have a serious conversation /discussion with you...but every time, no matter who answers you...all you ever answer is to tell people that they are in error and wrong.
At the same time you never give any serious response except your silly repetitive re-quoted phases such as .." if you'd simply, simply believe .." etc etc...which by the way is NOT a discussion.
If you don't want a discussion why on earth do you keep on starting new threads???

There was plenty of things in my post which you could have discussed.
You may almost be 90 years old now...but I have tried to answer your threads and keep you 'in the loop' ...but now I am almost ready to just give up on you.

... gone...

I believe BG is on point. it's a guess. ok answer me this, where was you when God made the earth and the heavens?. but before you answer, let's read Jeremiah 1:5 "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations". God is no respecter of Person, so where was you before he formed you in the womb? post book chapter and verse definitively.

equally codswallop - you did nothing - you only imagine you did - twinc

so i take that as you can't produce any scripture to back up your claim.

thought so, good day.

Crying out loud Jim...what is the matter with you?
You are rude and you never take any opportunity or time to answer people who have bothered to have taken the time to answer you.
Being old does not give you the right to be rude to someone who is answering your posts !!
My advice is , just give up on pretending that you are starting "discussions" ...because you are not. You are just making silly statements.

pretending/silly statements/codswallop/making it up as I go along - do you really think I have nothing better to do at my age or that I have some sinister or ulterior motive other than trying to prevent others from going to hell whilst imagining they are going to heaven - twinc

But you act as if you have the correct answer for everyone. If you really do, then why are you so hesitant to share your answers. You ask questions but seldom explain yourself. You'll even point to a scripture for which there is often more than one possible understanding and then fail to clarify you position. God may only have one interpretation for a verse, but you do not even lower yourself [as you apparently see it] to humbly explain why you know it while what others believe that they know is wrong.

Why is it OK for you to hear from God while others must be deluded?

the problem is that you and others are not aware of what you are even babbling about or that you are contradicting one another and blaiming the contradictions on inspiration and guidance and indwelling by the Holy Spirit whereas my inspiration/mistakes/errors are mine and mine alone - you have like others a penchant for getting in a twist and blaming me for claiming inspiration and guidance and on speaking/hearing terms with God and the Holy Spirit - twinc

Oh I do know what I am talking about, even if I am wrong in any of my conclusions.

I have in the past more than once explained to you why I believe there are so many opposing points of view including your own and my own. This is why God alone is able in the end of the to sort out the differences, if they need to be sorted out. Ultimately as far as being saved I don't believe that most of them or even all them matter.

For those whose hearts are really directed toward pleasing God, it doesn't really matter that some of their beliefs may not precisely the same. God is looking at the hearts of men rather the individual black and white beliefs as men might try to categorize them...

All of us undoubtedly have our mistakes, but if our hearts are right, why should those mistakes matter to God? God does not change/ He has always been looking and continues to be looking at our hearts:

"Every way of a man is right in his own eyes: but the LORD pondereth the hearts." Prov 21:2

Odd how many times I have heard that about you though....that you're like a hit and run person, popping on to say your peace, not replying if anyone takes the time for you, and yes.....rude....and then you run away again.
Are all the others wrong do you think ?

take no notice - even Jesus ignored the acceptance and recommendation of devils - known in modern parlance as likes imho - we may all be all wrong but not possibly all right imho - twinc

btw I have not run away - maybe some would wish I would - as the song goes[who knows where the time goes] Sandy Denny - who knows when its time to go - twinc

I believe he is referring to once popular song, but until just checking on it on the Internet I had not heard of her or the song.
