The spirit is the breath of life! Without spirit there is no physical life, which is why every living breathing creature as well as human beings is a living soul. What only men/women of faith have that other living breathing creatures do not have is the Spirit of Christ in us, giving us...

I agree mostly, you've shown a good example of "nephesh". It is used to describe every living, breathing thing upon the earth. Everything having a breath is defined as either living creature or living soul. Soul defines the whole living breathing creature that is body + spirit. The body of...

But even the devils believe! But does their believing saving faith in Christ for eternal life? No! We believe many things, or we could say we have faith in many things, but faith to believe in Christ for eternal life is a supernatural act of the Holy Spirit. Faith is a noun, that is...

Behold: "The spirit is the real you." I agree! We could say 'we' are trapped in bodies destined to death. For those who die in Christ, death of the body sets us free, and our spirit ascends to heaven a spiritual body of believers still living souls. But in heaven our spirit as living soul...

Soul represents the WHOLE living being! Because every living breathing creature upon the earth is a living soul. The breath of life God breathed into man was for him to be spiritually minded. The spiritual mind God breathed into man at creation is what became "dead in trespasses and sins" on...

This is insane! Noah left the earth, but he did NOT leave the water that covered the whole earth! Noah did not go up into the sky and nowhere from Scripture does it say he did.

The topic asks whether or not man has an "immortal soul"? God did NOT create humans with an immortal soul, but with flesh from the dust and spiritual mind (breath of life) and man became a LIVING SOUL! Not an immortal living soul, but alive with appetite, ability to think, and every bodily...

They could have known the Messiah! They had only to believe, according to Covenant Promise. That's why Christ is spoken of as "the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world." Just as we, who live after the cross look back to Christ, those of Old Covenant Israel were to look forward...

Since the earth was created for physical living beings, and the new earth shall be made new again for the same purpose, if our mortal body is not resurrected immortal & incorruptible for life on the new earth, what's the point of resurrecting the physical bodies of the faithful dead from the...

That which is resurrected is our physical body. The body dies because our body does not in this world possess immortal & incorruptible life (souls). The body of believers resurrected in an hour coming when the last trumpet sounds shall then be changed from mortal to immortal and corruptible to...

Yes, this is exactly how God tells us man was created. The confusion comes because instead of saying He created man with a body and a spirit and he/she became a living soul, God says He created a body and breathed the breath of life into him and he became a living soul. People read "breath of...

No, the body does not survive, it returns to the dust from which it came. But eternal life survives physical death through the eternal spirit we have by grace through faith when we are born again. Where Scripture speaks of the existence of 'souls', the expectation is that we understand that...

The Kingdom of God in heaven is a spiritual habitation, where flesh and blood cannot inherit. 1 Corinthians 15:50 (KJV) Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. 1 Corinthians 15:44 (KJV) It is sown a...

For about the umpteenth time now, man is outer physical body + inner spirit and together they are "living souls." I've already given my understanding of the verse you quote. Paul is in essence saying that he prays that the God of peace will sanctify (to be made holy) you WHOLLY/COMPLETELY...

That is your doctrinal understanding of mankind. But Scripture disagrees with you. Man is created with physical body + spirit (breath of life) and together the two became living souls. Where is your biblical proof texts that mankind is a tri-part being?

I do not promote the doctrine of John Calvin. I support and defend Biblical doctrine. But I often find that when doctrinal differences (and there are many) cannot be defended, some will resort to libeling and labeling to deflect away attention that may prove the doctrines we've embraced come...

I know what you've said. And I keep telling you that we are not tri-part beings as God is. We are body with spirit and together the TWO are living souls. You continue to argue that living souls are spirit within our flesh, but God says we are created with body + spirit (breath of life) and...

I replied according to the words you spoke, not 1stCenturyLady.

No, as I've shown believing anything is naturally possible. But faith to believe in Christ comes supernaturally when we hear the Gospel according to grace through faith, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Before this ability to believe comes to natural man supernaturally, he/she is "dead in...

You do need to hear the Word (Gospel) to receive faith to believe. Even the devils believe in God. And their faith (believing) leaves them trembling. Romans 10:17 (KJV) So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God. James 2:19 (KJV) Thou believest that there is one...
