Where does it say they are separated?--Elijah
Look it up in the Greek, you're not going to believe me.
In 1 Thes 5:23 AND Hebrews 4:12
spirit = pneuma
soul = psyche
And in Matt 12:18 it is the same....same words used and it is God speaking directly, not Paul, about Himself.
If the Holy Spirit was indwelling our minds why would we need to renew our minds by the Word. Why would we have to "walk in the Spirit not in the flesh"?
Matt 12:10-18
15 But Jesus, aware of this, withdrew from there. Many followed Him, and He healed them all, 16 and warned them not to tell who He was. 17 This was to fulfill what was spoken through Isaiah the prophet:
18 “Behold, MyServant whom I have chosen;
My Beloved in whom My soul is well-pleased;
I will put My Spirit upon Him,
And He shall proclaim justice to the Gentiles
People will say "inner man" and "outer man".
It's not like we can operate outside ourselves being separate in three parts as God can. But there is a place in each of us that is a empty place without God and when He comes to indwell us that place is filled, I believe this is our spirit, inner man if you will. And He starts cleaning up our soul the outer man.
The world still has that empty place and they try to fill the place with all kinds of things but it doesn't work they have to keep searching to fill it. The answer as we know is God.
We are not talking of Being Born again or what one has to do to get there! Acts 5:32 The thread is about the devils first lie.
