Are you a Major League Baseball ⚾️ player? You just hit that one out of the park. 👍
Perhaps I will at some point, but, for now, at least I can better see the source of argument.
Body vs Soul ... (vs Spirit)
My focus has been on the condition of the soul, with the spirit as being an attribute of both body and soul.
I didn’t separate the spirit from the soul as standing alone, by itself, to be saved or not, instead of the soul being saved, but now I can see why you think as you do.
I think of Jesus saving “souls”, judging “souls”, redeeming “souls”, etc.
And apparently this is the source of my misunderstanding, because I should think “spirit” being saved, judged, redeemed, etc. instead of “soul”.
To your thinking, the body and “soul” die together, but the “spirit” lives on.
To my way of thinking, the body dies and the “soul” lives on to ? ... I’m not sure what comes next, but I think the “soul” sleeps awaiting judgement.
I had not considered the “spirit” in death/post-death at all, only the “soul”.
But for you, the “spirit” is everything, whereas the “soul” is not even a thought.
If this is accurate, it’s no wonder we argue!
