Bible Discussion Thread

If a believer has the Holy Spirit living inside of them, how does one distinguish between their soul, their spirit and the Holy Spirit. Which one is asking this question? Or which one is worshipping God? Or which is trying to made new friends by spending time with them?

Thank you Duncan,

That was a lot to digest.

But you made a comment "The soul is found in the blood ". Where did you find this information?

Gasman

The soul is found in the blood and the soul is that thing that maketh a man to say

I want I need I shall, things are things that one does for his own satisfaction, but GOD the HOLY SPIRIT He will point you back to the cross and the word of God and He will ask you this

What you're doing does it glorify the father?,

Repent of your sins.

acts 20;21

Then Peter said unto them, Repent, and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the remission of sins, and ye shall receive the gift of the Holy Ghost.

Hey Duncan,

Thank you for replying.

You said the soul is

"I want, I need, I shall, things are things that one does for his own satisfaction ".

Would not that also include, I love you, I will help you, you are my friend? Can not good things can come from the soul, too?

Part 3

-But after coming at the cross The Man is able to instruct the soul and say Bless the Lord ooh my soul. and No longer does anything to please himself but he lives to glorify the Lord God.His soul no longer drives him But he is in control.

Part 2

it is written in Proverbs 20:28

28.Mercy and truth preserve the king:

And his throne is upholden by mercy.

-What I am pointing out to you is this

The soul can make one Love or Live right before men, while before God the Living God who made the heavens we are sinning thinking we are right with Him.

Remember even the thief who steals and murder says he is a good person who is able to love and live well, moreover during burial no one stands and says this dead person was a sinner but you will hear he is a good person.

-For all are in the soulish and not in the spirit

Bear this in mind as it is written in John 4:23-24

23.But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.

24.God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

And if one has repented of his sins at the cross in Jesus Christ the Son of the living God, Instead of doing everything to please himself. he lives to glorify God whether he eat or drink all he does is in the glory of God.

as it is written in 1 Corinthians 10:31

31.Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

Therefore Worship God in Spirit and Let God lead you He knows how, He will teach you if you ask by prayer God is faithful.

Remember

it is written in romans 8:14

14.For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, they are the sons of God.

- Let us hear the conclusion of this matter

Yes we see people love in the soulish in fact people marry for long years but the marriages are either very shaky and majority end up in divorce

we see father loving their kids and mothers loving their kids and the kids likewise love their parents and at the end there is not true compassion and the love is a love of gain.

Hi, Sorry I took longer answering,

Before we continue I thank God for giving us this moment, I believe Jesus Christ is the son of the Living God and He died on the cross for my sins and He rose on the third day and He is sitting on the right Hand of Power Amen.

The Bible the True word of God which can not be broken

as it is written in JOHN 10:35

35.If he called them gods, unto whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken;

-Points out to us that the Brutish man knowns not the things of God, for he is in the soulish so does a fool. Remember the fool, he has said in his heart that there is no God.and we Christians, this are the people who have came at the cross and have repented of their sins before the THE LORD JESUS Christ THE SON OF THE LIVING GOD. know very well that the Heavens declare The glory of GOD.

as it is written in plasm 19:1-2

1.The heavens declare the glory of God;

And the firmament sheweth his handywork.

2.Day unto day uttereth speech,

And night unto night sheweth knowledge. 3There is no speech nor language,

Where their voice is not heard.

The Soulish Level.

When one runs on the soulish level, He does things to please himself, for example( ABCD People LGBT) their love is on this level of the soulish they are doing what gives them pleasure.

-Yet they claim this is Love according to them But we Know in The scripture THE Bible, The Lord God who made the heavens This is sin and an abomination Before Him

(plasm 96:4, KJV-GOD who made the heavens)

another example is this

-The dictator who runs a nation in fear and fist, and the power is for his family all the wealth goes to his accounts and the people running his empire and still he loves his family so much but he oppresses his subjects.

Yet we know he has no mercy neither truth with him and within him.

Hi Gasman. Yours are good questions & often very debatable when considering the construct of man & the Work of the Holy Spirit within Him or even, upon Him. Firstly, we do understand from the Word, that we are tripartite beings (i.e. composed of soul, spirit & body): 1 Thessalonians 5:23. The 'body' aspect we know, but it can be difficult to correctly understand the difference between the soul & spirit. So, if we take it as the soul being our mental, emotive powers & the spirit being the 'life force', all given by God so that can be living creatures able to experience all that God has given us & of course, our return of worship & thanks to our Creator, then we can somewhat understand how God's Spirit connects with us.

Only when a person has been born again by God's Spirit ( John 3:3), can that person be in a new revived position of receiving & giving communication to our Heavenly Father. God sends His Spirit to be with us & in us ( John 14:17), but His Spirit doesn't replace our spirit, nor does He overrule us to the extent that we cease to think & behave as ordinary people. So, when He ministers to us (whether in decision-making, personal conduct, in worship, in understanding the Word, etc.), it becomes our choice as to whether we allow His gentle & precise ministry to influence us or not. Sadly, we often allow carnal thoughts or pre-conceived ideas or beliefs to take precedent over His, much to our detriment. But when we are truly walking (& worshiping in the Spirit) - Galatians 5:16,25 - then we will truly know His Peace, that which 'surpasses all our understanding & inclinations' ( Philippians 4:7), joyfully allowing Him to lead us, especially in worship & in faith, for all we experience.

Your questions 'to which spirit'? Our spirit is never laid aside in the functioning of man - our faculties are always in force. It is how much we allow the Holy Spirit to take control in our lives, our worship, even 'wisdom in allowing others into our lives' ( Romans 8:1-28).

Thank you, Chris. As the old guy said, " It was about as clear as mud in the past but now I am starting to see some light".

Just trying to work out the knicks in my thinking.

So at conception, when the seed and egg unites our physical body is form and our soul? Then or sometime after conception God puts a spirit/ life force in us?

When you say "often very debatable" are you saying that this subject is debatable among honest Christians or we may never know for sure or both?

Our core values we know for sure but secondary issues we don't.

Thanks a bunch for reponding. Until He returns.

Gasman

Thanks Gasman for your reply; I'm glad that my answer to you might have been a little helpful. However, your question as to when does a human (whether still in embryonic form or after release from the womb) is equipped with a soul & spirit, can't really be answered irrefutably, simply because the Word is silent on it & very likely the medical profession will never admit it. Though some Scriptures might help us, such as Ecclesiastes 3:19-21; Ecclesiastes 12:7; Luke 23:46; Acts 7:59; James 2:26; and maybe others which seem to show both the importance & destination of the human spirit when the body dies. Then again, the word 'soul' is also used similarly: Matthew 10:28; Matthew 16:26; Revelation 6:9, which seems to further confuse this matter of distinction between soul & spirit. However, as man is made in his Creator's Image, I believe that he needs to be fully equipped with & reflect this fully formed creative work; hence the need for this three-fold aspect of his humanness.

Yet, as you wrote, "Our core values we know for sure but secondary issues we don't", which is what we need to emphasize & build up one another on, rather than on matters we know little or nothing about. Yet, it's always an interesting exercise to ponder even over such things. Blessings.
