Have I questioned or disagreed with this? Could you provide Scriptural proof texts that tell us our soul is our mind? What I find throughout Scripture is that where 'soul' is mentioned, it is reference to a living breathing being. The only exception is when Scripture says the faithful are...

Yes, I now understand how limited your understanding of Biblical doctrine truly is. I appreciate you praying that God would help me to understand what it means to be born again, but I'm afraid you are too late because I have biblical understanding of being born again. I too shall pray that God...

Your soul is body + spirit = living soul. What we are inhabited by flesh is spirit, which is to have a mind/heart/will/emotions. As spirit is the control center of everything we think or do. Our spirit controls through our mind and body functions every action or inaction we can think or...

They knew of The Redeemer who is the promised Messiah that would come, Christ Jesus, our Lord. Both the Law and Prophets point to Him. Very sad really, because the coming of The Messiah who would redeem them was repeatedly foretold to the Jews. Long before the Gentiles knew of Christ Jesus...

I'm glad you say "my opinion"! Without having a mind/brain our heart ceases to function. You have it backwards. The Word preached speaks to us (spirit) through our mind and if we believe the Gospel we get a new heart that yearns from the mind to the heart to know Christ better. We can only...

The conscience of man and the reactions from the mind of our heart or conscience comes from spirit directing within. Before being born again the spirit in man is natural or of the earth, and spiritually "dead in trespasses and sins". For this reason, we must be born again of the Spirit of...

After telling us how God will sanctify us WHOLLY, that is our whole or complete spirit (complete or whole; mind, heart, will and emotions) and soul (complete or whole life) and your body (shall be resurrected immortal & incorruptible) by committin our lives to the doctrine of Paul from the Holy...

Fair enough, if we don't include Scripture to prove what we believe, then it can be assumed that we have presented only our opinion. How does our mind become enlightened by the Spirit? According to what is written this enlightenment comes according to grace through faith by hearing the Word...

If my reply was "nothing biblical" as you ASSUME, then perhaps you would be kind enough to teach me how my reply has "nothing biblical"? Present Scripture to PROVE what you ALLEGE because I shall not be corrected by ones OPINIONS!

Do you believe it is only my opinion, or is it Biblical truth?

Well, indeed it does get the seekers to focus on the faith healer rather than the true HEALER!

I was the one replying, so I chose to say I did not believe his comments merit my reply! Maybe I should have made it clear that I wasn't implying anyone else might think little of his reply as I do.

Our enlightened minds when we are born again of Christ's Spirit are first given to understand the Gospel of Christ. This through the message about Christ and the power of His Spirit opening our minds and hearts so that we can know/believe with spiritual eyes and ears that we have been born...

I believe Paul understands that mankind is made of body + spirit and the two became a "living soul". Scripture often uses soul to speak of living, breathing beings. Because where life exists there exists a living soul.

Why do we need to be born again of His Spirit? Is it not because our minds/hearts/wills and emotions are spiritually dead, and needing to be born again? A new heart and spirit God has put in those who are born of His Spirit. Not another or new life (soul) but a renewed heart, and spirit (mind).

Yes, our spirit is spiritually dead in trespasses and sins, and for this reason our spirit must be born again! That happens when our MIND has been enlightened through His Spirit in us. Our mind must go from begin carnal and of this world, to spiritual and of heaven when our...

Yes, we make choices with our mind. Our mind is natural apart from the Spirit in us, or spiritual with His Spirit in us. To be a living soul is to possess life. We possess life (soul) in both body and spirit. We make choices with our spirit which affects our living soul. Which means that...

It really is simply Ritajanice! I believe you already know this. Unless our spirit that is our mind/heart in us is changed from natural to spiritual through His Spirit in us we cannot know Christ. Exactly! And now your MIND is fixed on spiritual things because you have been born again of...

If the mind in man does not have the Spirit in them through new birth, he/she remains natural human and cannot know the mind, will, ways of God. You don't explain how the Holy Spirit in us changes us. We only have spiritual enlightenment when our MIND goes from natural to spiritual. Why...

Exactly! But two part man became a "living soul". And soul is what we are as long as we have life. The life believers have both natural in this world, and shall be spiritual in heaven. Both on earth as physical body, and in heaven as spiritual body whosoever has been born again is a "living...
