Psssst there is no difference between the soul and the spirit.
Then how is it that God could send His spirit to dwell & abide within an individual human being, within a soul as it were?
When it was given to John the Baptist to witness the Holy Spirit descend upon Christ and remain there -- was not Jesus then 'a soul' prior to that moment? (and afterwards also, of course)
John 3:8-10 (AKJV)
8 The wind bloweth where it listeth, and thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell whence it cometh, and whither it goeth: so is every one that is born of the Spirit.9 Nicodemus answered and said unto him, How can these things be? 10 Jesus answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of Israel, and knowest not these things?
Pssst:
Hebrews 4:12 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.
That's like saying there is no difference between ice cream cone and bicycle...
Did you look them up in the Greek like I suggested...They are different things in the English as well as the Greek...
And when you find out what they mean, you can find their references all thru the bible...
All that schooling you keep bragging about and they never taught you that things that are different, are not the same???
