St Paul. (2Thes5vs23)
“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the comming of our Lord Jesus Christ”.
St Paul clearly teaches that we are more than mere Material beings, more than mere machines.
We are Not Robots! We are not Computorised Automations!
As useful as tits on a robot!
Hey Richard, If a Robot like the one in this video said “I love you”, would you believe it?
Tim, no, I wouldn’t. AI still has quite a way to go … ask me again in 20 years’ time. š
So, tell me … what’s the difference between “spirit” and “soul”? š
I was hoping you would not ask me that!
Thats a tuff question.
The Bible clearly distinguishes the soul from the spirit…and these from the body.
Now speacking in the ordinary sence …a Body with no Spirit is dead.
Spirit appears to be lifeforce.
Yet I am a soul. You are a soul.
Thus this has something to do with our individual personality.
We have both Life and individual personality.
Both yours and my ‘life’ is probably the same stuff, yet our souls are unique to our selves… our identity.
Yet there is even more strange things here.
Before we recieve Christ and are ‘Born again’ we are said to be ‘spiritually Dead.’…though we are carnally/ physically ‘alive’…and also have souls…yet are said to be dead in tresspasses and sins.
???
When we recieve Christ we are said to be born of the Spirit.and become the children of God. We await the day of redemption when even our physical bodies will be glorified incorruptible.
I confess to not really having a good understanding of this stuff at all.
