What are more precise words?
In Brief:
I prefer to stick with Scriptural words, and know what they mean..and use their meaning to describe, rather than what people secularly/ generally think those words mean.
For example:
Walking BY or IN Christ.... IN
New creature or new person...creature.
Christian or Converted in Christ....Converted in Christ
Spirit crucified or body crucified...body
Jesus A human or Likeness AS a Human....likeness AS
Man A god or Likeness AS God....likeness AS
Jesus is the word of God. Gods Word is God. Gods Word Is in God, comes Forth out from Gods Mouth, yet remains in God....and mankind
Was created in that same likeness.
(Difference is...every word that comes forth out of Gods Mouth is True...not so with man.)
Why? God is all knowing, man is not.
God IS Spirit. Man Has a spirit.
God Has what we are told is 7 Spirits, for our ability to understand.
7 Spirits ( but yet are the Same 1 Spirit )...
So what’s up with the 7 Spirits?
We are informed of the “categories”, (So To Speak) of what the 7 Spirits of God functionally DO...and when God “gives a man” one or more of a particular of His 7 Spirits, that man is thus “prepared” to serve God, according to the Spirit that man has received.
...Spirit
Of The Lord,
Of wisdom,
Of understanding,
Of counsel,
Of power,
Of knowledge,
Of fear of the Lord
With all the discussions, debates, agreements, disagreements....between and amongst men who know one another, and men who do not know one another, such as on a social media forum...easy to grasp, not every individual (Believers, Saved, not Saved) receives the Same of the 7 Spirits of God.
Receiving the Spirit OF the Lord...is precisely the Spirit of Truth ( Gods Truth ), Which is Gods Word, Which is called by the Name Jesus, Who IS the Christ, Whom IS the all knowing Spirit, Power, Wisdom, Seed, Quickener.
By, Through, Of Him...is a man, able to become MADE to be on the receiving end of any of Gods 7 Spirits.
Gods Truth, Knowledge, Wisdom, ability to understand, teach, counsel, discern, etc.
A Person is a
Living Earthly man with a soul IN him.
Bodily dead men are no longer called persons.
Physically dead bodies are called, the deceased, cadavers, by name, by description of relationship...dad, daughter, cousin...call passed away, called loved one...
Men bury dead body’s.
Men do not bury persons.
Men do not bury souls.
Living Souls depart dead body’s .
Living souls...saved? Return to God, Wait with God, for judgement.
Living souls...unsaved? Sent to Hell, wait without God, for judgement.
All souls, belong to God.
Life IN all souls belongs to God...
A soul IN a mans living body....is called by that mans name.
Inanutshell, that man, (ie the formed body), having received a soul from God, By default becomes the “caretaker” OF that soul in his body.
And oops...all natural born body’s of men are naturally born IN sin...(against God....don’t know of Him, know Him, believe in Him...are Against Him)
Because IF one is Not With Him, by default they are against Him.
And that soul in a corrupt body thus becomes corrupt.
The offering By, Through, Of Gods “offering” For saving of the soul, by, through, of RESTORATION....is by, through, of Christ.
We shall receive new bodies....
That is Future.
Restored / saved souls....and Quickened Born Again spirits of are Bodily Living IN Jesus’ Risen Body...and why they are called... IN Christ.
And called “Christ IN them, because His Spirit of Truth is IN (their new circumcised heart)...
Just saying there is a precise Order and Way of God which applies to each individual man....and All men....with, or in, or without the Lord God....Hear, Learn, At Different stages and amounts and Scriptural topics per their individual lives...and receive different specific Spirits of God....which in my opinion using general terms outside of Scripture can lead to assumptions of two being in agreement or disagreement.
Glory to God,
