The Reformed churches look at the soul as sinful. We are tainted with sin to the point that we are spiritually dead.
Both impact the way we see the world in very different ways.
Anyway I go with the latter.
Perhaps it is both.
Let’s say that someone who lived (in Isreal) quite a bit back in the past struggled with following Yahweh, but felt pulled to worshipping graven images -— for example. One day while strolling through the marketplace they saw some graven images for sale...
As we can see, this idol was outside of them sitting on a shelf and yet they felt, too, the inward pull to buy it, take it home, worship it, etc.
So, this person and others perhaps like him or her were surrounded by idols and were tempted to buy them, but they also felt the inward pull to give into this sin, too.
