Romans 8:8-9 Paul uses flesh as man's sin nature
Being Born Again ,is so simple to understand....the Spirit is what testifies with our spirit...how else would we know were Born Again.
Yes, but God, A Spirit became a human being. That means that Jesus Christ with body + spirit became a living soul.
Yes, Christ breathed His Spirit into His disciples before sending them out.
Possessing the Holy Spirit is to have the "mind of Christ".
Remember the Spirit that God breathed into man was lost
1 Corinthians 2:16 (KJV) For who hath known the mind of the Lord, that he may instruct him? But we have the mind of Christ.
How does the Spirit testify with our spirit? It is re-birth of our mind,
How does the Spirit testify with our spirit?
That is your own opinion ....the same as my opinion is MY opinion and it doesn’t agree with yours.It is re-birth of our mind, which spirit is, that we are changed from natural mind of this earth, to a spiritual mind of heavenly truths. It is through our mind/spirit that we receive by grace through faith understanding through Christ's Spirit in us. That's why the spirit in man that has been born again HAS eternal life and will NEVER die, even though our body will.
The Bible uses the word 'soul' in two ways, just as 'flesh' is in two ways. Each has two definitions. That is why context is crucial to see which is being used.
Soul
1 Thess. 5:23 has us as spirit, soul and body. Three parts of one person.
Romans 13:1 uses soul as the whole person.
Flesh
Lev. 4:11 as muscle like meat
Romans 8:8-9 Paul uses flesh as man's sin nature
Amen!!...Brother...thank you.Your mind is not re-birthed, but your Spirit is born again, if that has happened.
So, its the Holy Spirit IN us, who teaches us, via spiritual enlightenment, and that is more then understanding it mentally.
See, this that comes from God, as revelation, is "Spiritually Discerned" and that much more then figuring out info, mentally.
Exactly! But two part man became a "living soul". And soul is what we are as long as we have life.
Praise God....Amen!!The part of you that is born again, or not, is "what we are, forever",
And that is not your mind.
That is your spirit.
We are not born again mentally.
We are "born again Spiritually"., by the Holy Spirit of God, not by the mind of God.
Praise God....Amen!!
The thing is though Brother...if they haven’t been Born Again spiritually..how on Earth could they understand it?
Indeed ....Amen!!....You and I are in agreement...in the Spirit....Born Again...Now you see it my sister.
Now you see it....
That's the Revelation.
Now you see how to understand who is a : Luke 11:35
Your mind is not re-birthed, but your Spirit is born again, if that has happened.
So, its the Holy Spirit IN us, who teaches us, via spiritual enlightenment, and that is so much more then understanding it mentally.
See, this that comes from God, as revelation, is "Spiritually Discerned" and that much more then figuring out info, mentally.
Let me show you more.
When an unbeliever reads the Bible, they get NOTHING, because that is their MIND trying to figure it out.
But when a born again believer, studies the word, then God gives them, from the inside of them, "Spiritual Discernment" as the word of God is "spiritually discerned" = Only.
How on Earth could I explain that, if you haven’t received the testifying of the+Spirit.
He testifies with our spirit....that’s how I knew I was Born Again...he spoke to my spirit, as he was indwelling me...it’s a Living spiritual birth....it’s not something you read and bingo you are born again.
You don't explain how the Holy Spirit in us changes us.
Exactly...Amen!The change is that our spirit that was separated from God, by SIN, has now been birthed, by God's Holy Spirit, into God's Holy Spirit.
"God is A Spirit" and the born again Spirit in the believer, is now "ONE with God".
Excellent..so easy peasy to understand....Amen!...all in my opinion.This is to become, SPIRITUALLY... "The Temple of the Holy Spirit"......not the temple of the mind as a deceiver is teaching on my Thread.
You forgot one.
"MIND of the Flesh". (and that's not the spirit/Spirit)
Romans 8
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 soul". Where there is life there is a soul.
What happens to the flesh when we become Born Again?The mind of the flesh would be of someone under the law, or someone unsaved. The flesh would be of a carnal mind..
The soul is the Mind... its the will and emotions
See, you make choices with your MIND, that is your soul...
He sent them out before He did that.
That is not what the verse says.
But that's an interesting cult theology, idea.
Paul says that AFTER we are born again Spiritually, we are to have "the mind of Christ".
He does not say this is auto-matic.
He says that all the born again are to come into fellowship having "the same mind".
This is why Paul tells us to renew our minds.
Adam, is a spiritual being, living in the body.
His spirit didnt go anywhere, when he rebelled.
What happened was, his spiritual union with God, was broken.
Christ, the 2nd Adam, came to restore the BELIEVER back into Spiritual union with God, as "one with God", " In Christ"
I agree with most of what you said, except adding the 'A' to say that God is A Spirit. This accurately describes God's nature as being spiritual. However more is implied by excluding the 'A', as 'Spirit' describes his being as the medium in which he and others dwell. Like he is both the house and the person in the house. Granted this doesn't make sense from a physical perspective but conventional reasoning may not apply to the spiritual.-
What is the difference between your soul and your Spirit. ?
Lots of confusion about this, so, lets clear it up.
And as a matter of fact, if you teach S-School, then you should learn this teaching and let your student have it.
1.) Man is "body, soul, and Spirit" = 3
He is "tri-part", exactly as God is Triune. or 3 in One.
God said.. "let US make man in OUR image", and this is 3, including the Holy Spirit.
So, a 3 in One Godhead, created a Tri-part Adam, who is "body, soul, Spirit".
What is that?
2 ) It means, you are a Spirit, you have a soul, and you live in a body.
What is the soul?
The soul is the : "mind, will, and emotions".
What is the Spirit" ?
The Sprit is the real you, that has to be born again.
The Spirit is what goes to HELL if its not born again.
The born again Spirit is the "Son/Daughter" of God, that is the "new creation in Christ".
3.) In the Garden of Eden, .....Adam was Spiritually separated from God.. He "ate the apple" and lost "Spiritual union". And the Bible defines this as "death".
However, Its not death, as in, ended or ceased to exist....... Its death in the since of being separated from God's Spirit, which is LIFE.
See, "God is A Spirit" and Christianity is Spiritual, and to become separated from GOD" LIFE< is to be dead from IT.
See that?
This is : 1st Spiritual Death ("In Adam we all die")...... and the 2nd Death, is to go to Hell, and exist in spiritual separation from God, forever.
Jesus, who is the 2nd Adam, came to offer Himself to us all as the Blood Atonement,, and this allows us to be BORN AGAIN.. which is to return to the eternal Spiritual Union with GOD.... that 1st Adam lost.
