Pneuma, Psuce, and Swmaa, does not mean "the soul is our mind, will and emotions... it is our personality. Our spirit, is the God-part of us that makes us eternal." like you said.

Not as I read scripture and study it. The definition itself says:

the soul = Strong's Number: 5590
  1. the seat of the feelings, desires, affections, aversions (our heart, soul etc.)
I think feelings, et al is part of our personality.

Again... it we look at it in depth, we can see there is a separation between spirit and soul - the word of God itself say it separates that which is spirit and that which is soul

If you read Matthew, you will see that the body can be killed, but the soul cannot be killed. So there is no interpretation that the soul that cannot be killed is "personality or emotions". Could you tell mw which bible verse your interpretation came from? It is more evident that the soul, or psuchee is more likely "will", the "essence" of self. Read Matthew.

Yes, I have said that the body can be killed. (We get a new one that is without the curse). I did say the soul is your mind, "will", and emotion.

I'm not sure how you separate "will" from your mind. Can you explain that better?

The soul is eternal because it is linked and is fully one with our spirit which is eternal..

Sorry. I dont mean to dig in too much on your statements/ But there is no biblical interpretation as such. Ill give you an example. You said "Our spirit, is the God-part of us that makes us eternal." but the Gospels itself speaks of "akatharton pneuma" which simply cannot be any part of God or your God-part. Simple, because God cannot be some kind of despicable or evil being.

It is quite simple. In John chapter three is speaks of being "born again" by the Spirit of God. That which is born of the Spirit is spirit. It is recreated into the image of God is such likeness that, as Paul said, "1 Cor 6:17 But he that is joined unto the Lord is one spirit."

The fact that we still have to renew our mind according to Rom 12:2 - mind being "nous"
  1. a particular mode of thinking and judging, i.e thoughts, feelings, purposes, desires
(Notice the similarities in definition) dictates that the mind and soul is actually in a process of transformation and not "one in spirit".

Anyway, the point is, your interpretation is not biblical, but thought.

So I find it, after much study, to be quite biblical.

Thank you for your demeanor.

Thats not the question. You said it is part of God.

Sometimes the fingers are slower than the mind. So sorry. It is birthed by God who is a Spirit or, as I should have said "It is the part of God" meaning birthed.

Does that mean the rest is not "birthed" by God?
I think we are being to laser- focused. Pigs are created by God but that doesn't make God a pig. :)

When you are "born again" - it is the spirit of man that is born-again. Not the soul or, obviously, the body.

See, your claim was irrelevant to this analogy. So maybe this analogy of yours would actually be related to your own claim, not mine.

I think since you made a non scriptural, personal assertion, you have no choice but resort to this kind of analogy.

Thus, with respect, I withdraw from this conversation. Cheers.

No problem... except I did take it from scriptures :)

Enjoyed our time together.
 

Muffled

Jesus in me
So you believe God is three persons in one being? But it sounds very similar to be honest.

But yes the offical trinity doctrine is three persons in one being. But maybe people Will understand the trinity better if it is explained as" three beings in one being?

I believe that is just as confusing as persons.

Maybe your beliefs are not the same as the RC church.

My beliefs are the same as the RC Church it is simply that the word "being" can refer to essence or hypostases, and without that clarification it may or may not be contradictory. Also simply the statement even if it is true goes against the normal order the Trinity is presented in. When the old order is presented it answers all questions and no one is able to refute it even slightly, so I always present the old order.
