Thank you so much for sharing your views on three parts of man!

Man is a spirit, man has a soul (the mind, will and emotions), and man lives in a body. The term "man" is generic for human. Man's spirit will live forever.

In the article excerpts, there is a Hebrew word in the Scripture for three levels which closely correspond to the ones you named. From top to bottom they are neshama, ruach and nefesh.

The real question should be - where is your spirit going to spend eternity ...??

I wonder how many can not yet answer that question…

Sometimes I just like to cut to the chase - so to speak. It's like a shock and awe method. Some people need to be jarred into reality. Most of them will read the articles because they're curious. My message will hopefully prick that curiousity.

I learned the 3 names in Greek. Let's see if I can remember them; pneuma is the spirit, psuche (where we get our psyche) is the soul, and soma is the flesh (or body). I think that's right!

I always thought it was interesting that GOD wrote the Old Testament in Hebrew (the language of the Jews), and the New Testament in Greek (the language of the believers). I love the Greek because it is such a flowery and expressive language.

In Greek, the word for salvation means: safety, soundness, preservation, healing, deliverance and provision. Looks like GOD provided a boatload of benefits for those who have received Jesus as Savior. What a good GOD.
