Bible Questions Answered:
“Are we body and spirit or soul and body?...”
Rick/ Cheyenne, Wyoming
Bible Answer:
I Thessalonians 5:23 NLT Paul’s Final Greetings
Now may the God of peace make you holy in every way, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless until our Lord Jesus Christ comes again.
The Apostle Paul stated that man is, spirit, soul and, body.
This is what is called the “trichotomist,” view. Body, soul and, spirit.
Some believe that man is of two parts, body and soul (or spirit).
This group is called the “dichotomists.”
They believe that soul or spirit are one. (Two different verses, yet with the same meaning.)
I Peter 2:11 KJV
Dearly beloved, I beseech you as strangers and pilgrims, abstain from fleshly lusts, which war against the soul;
James 2:26 KJV
For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.
Trichotomists hold that body, soul and, spirit are different entities.
The Body; World awareness.
The Soul; Self awareness.
(The Conscience:)
I Peter 2:19 KJV
For this is thankworthy, if a man for conscience toward God endure grief, suffering wrongfully.
Hebrews 10:22 KJV
Let us draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience, and our bodies washed with pure water.
(The Heart:)
Matthew 22:37 KJV
Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love The Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind.
Hebrews 4:12 KJV
For The Word Of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
(The Mind:)
Romans 12:2 KJV
And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
The Spirit; God awareness.
Hebrews 4:12 KJV
For The Word Of God is quick, and powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the dividing asunder of soul and spirit, and of the joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
I Thessalonians 5:23 KJV
And the very God Of Peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Prayer:
II Corinthians 3:16-18 NLT
16 But whenever someone turns to The Lord, the veil is taken away.
17 For The Lord is The Spirit, and wherever The Spirit Of The Lord is, there is freedom.
18 So all of us who have had that veil removed can see and reflect the glory of The Lord. And The Lord—who is The Spirit—makes us more and more like Him as we are changed into His glorious image.
