God made man to have a mortal body, with an eternal spiritAs to WHAT God's word teaches, that all depends on how we each view/understand/discern the determining factor of KJV Gen. 2:7, 6:17, 7:15, 22.
To what each of us conclude of the matter, will individually set us all either on the "left" or on the "right", with no middle ground.
Q. Did God GIVE to man an eternal living soul, or did God CAUSE man to be a mortal living soul?
How we each stand with our answer, will "color" most all of the doctrines we hold to, throughout the entirety of the Bible.
To that I conclude:
"There can always be more than one lie, but there can never be more than one truth."- Earburner
The soul of man will end up either with the mortal body unto death or with the spirit unto eternal life.
God made man in THREE parts = body and soul and spirit = Gospel, 1 Thess 5:23 , Hebrews 4:12
Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
For the word of God is living and active. Sharper than any double-edged sword, it pierces even to dividing soul and spirit, joints and marrow.
Gospel = Matt 10:28 = Do not be afraid of those who kill the body but cannot kill the soul.
Instead, fear the One who can destroy both soul and body in hell.
