Soul and spirit dont need research outside of the scriptures. They are used so many times that the meanings are there if one cares to look.
The problem is some want it to mean what they want instead of what it says.
Thats the thing though, we wont get to claim it was above our paygrade. Notice these that Jesus spoke/ will speak of truly thought they were serving God.
"Not everyone saying to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter into the Kingdom of the heavens, but only the one doing the will of my Father who is in...
Sure the use of soul doesnt only apply to people, animals, or the life of a person because the use of the word has changes. For example some believe the soul is some ghostly essance that leaves the body at death.
My point was what the bible uses soul and spirit to mean. It is important when...
I do see the difference. But the context only means what you are implying if you ignore much of the scriptures. The bible has a clear teaching the Jesus is Gods Son, which you agree. But then you turn around and say he is God too. Its completely illogical and not based on the bible as a whole...
You are welcome to your own beliefs. If you believe the scriptures are from God, however, its important to follow them. "Lean not on your own understanding",
"The heart is more treacherous than anything else and is desperate. Who can know it?" Jer 17:9
I have no idea what this means: "I’m not...
The latest version is made easier to read. "Other" is in there for context as today there are many teachings about who Jesus is and this clarifies it. Many words needed to be added throughout the scriptures when converting to English as they arent complete sentences in English when you only use...
While your illustration may be a good visual of the trinity it doesnt make the trinity true. The scriptures dont teach the trinity, mans traditions do. You can research the trinty origin.
To show how desperate men were to make the trinity doctrine notice this verse.
Look at how simple the...
It wouldnt make him just another prophet. He had a miraculous conception; he is Gods son!
"Look! Also, a voice from the heavens said: “This is my Son, the beloved, whom I have approved.” Mt 3:17
He lived a life without sin. You do realise its the life without sin that paid the price, right? A...
Yes it was eventually taken out. That most likely happenened AFTER Jesus' death. Why do i say that? Because Jesus quoted many scriptures from the OT that said Yhwh. Jesus would not have been sticking to man's traditions as he spoke the truth about God. Being that no one ever accussed him of...
If Jesus is Yhwh who is 'my lord'?
Jesus asked them: “How is it, then, that David under inspiration calls him Lord, saying, ‘Yhwh said to my Lord: “Sit at my right hand until I put your enemies beneath your feet”’?- Mt 22:43-44
Yeah, when someone really wants to believe what they choose it blinds them to Gods word. It takes humility to cast your own thoughts aside and trust in God and his truths.
While the chapter is about wisdom it is also attributed to Jesus.
If you dont agree thats fine. But how do you explain Col :15-16?
" He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation; because by means of him all other things were created in the heavens and on the earth, the...
You claim soul and spirit have overlapping meanings. They dont.
Yes, in Revelation souls are in heaven under an alter. An alter is a physical object, which physical objects arent in heaven ...but revelation is mostly symbolic visions. Do you believe real beasts with several heads are coming...
