Spirit, Body & Soul

Cause Before Symptom - With Your Host James Carner

Spirit, Body & Soul

1 Thessalonians 5:23 is often cited as a key verse: "May the God of peace himself sanctify you entirely, and may your spirit and soul and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. What does this mean? How are we made up of 3 things? And most importantly what are the differences between them?

Matthew 22:37: "Jesus replied: ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’" Mark 12:30: "Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength."

While the Bible doesn't explicitly outline the differences between the spirit, soul, and body in great detail, it does provide enough information to understand the distinctions between them. Here's a breakdown based on biblical understanding:

Spirit:

* Connection to God: The spirit is the part of us that connects directly with God. It's the spiritual essence of a person.   

* Eternal: The spirit is eternal and survives physical death.   

* Renewal: It can be renewed and transformed through the Holy Spirit.

Soul:

* Mind, Will, Emotions: The soul encompasses our mental, emotional, and volitional faculties. It's the seat of our consciousness, thoughts, feelings, and decisions.   

* Humanity: It's the part of us that makes us human.   

* Salvation: The soul is the part of us that can be saved or lost.

Body:

* Physical Form: The body is our physical vessel, the tangible part of us.
* Mortal: It's subject to decay and death.   

* Temple of the Holy Spirit: For believers, the body is considered a temple of the Holy Spirit.   

Key Differences:

* Origin: The spirit is from God, the soul is part of human nature, and the body is physical.
* Eternity: The spirit is eternal, the soul's eternal destiny is determined by faith, and the body is temporary.
* Function: The spirit connects us to God, the soul enables us to think, feel, and choose, and the body allows us to interact with the physical world.

This is as close to as explanation as we can get. The Bible doesn’t explain it any more. But I believe there is more to it.

The Creation Story (Genesis 2:7):

* Body: God formed man from the dust of the ground.
* Spirit: God breathed into man's nostrils the breath of life.
* Soul: Man became a living soul.

This passage suggests that the body, spirit, and soul are distinct components of human existence.

The Temptation of Jesus (Matthew 4:1-11):

* Body: Jesus was physically hungry and tempted to turn stones into bread.
* Soul: He was tempted to bow down and worship Satan.
* Spirit: He resisted the temptations, relying on the Word of God.

This story demonstrates how the body, soul, and spirit can be subjected to different kinds of temptations, and how spiritual strength is essential to overcome them.

The Transfiguration of Jesus (Matthew 17:1-9):

* Body: Jesus' physical appearance was transformed, becoming radiant and glorious.
* Spirit: His divine nature was revealed, and he conversed with Moses and Elijah.

This event suggests that the body can be transformed, but the spirit remains eternal and can transcend physical limitations.

In Genesis 2:7, we learn that God formed man from the dust of the ground, breathed into him the breath of life, and man became a living being. Let’s look at that again: He formed man from the dust—there’s the body. He breathed into that body the breath of life—the Hebrew word here is ruach, which literally means “spirit.” As a result, man became a living being, which could be translated as soul (in fact, the American Standard Version of the Bible actually translates it this way).

The soul is the result of body and spirit coming together. Your mind, will, and emotions are directly affected by the condition of you body and the condition of your spirit at all times. Even though your body may be healthy, if you are spiritually away from God, your soul will be in turmoil. Likewise, even those who are spiritually right with God could have a purely physical sickness or disease in their body that affects their soul. [Consider how cranky we get when we have a lack of sleep!] A healthy soul can typically only be experienced by someone who has both a healthy spirit and a healthy body. Both parts play a role.

So does man consist of three parts? Yes and no. In our example earlier, the picture we imagined had three colors, but it was comprised of only two circles. So yes, we have a body, soul, and spirit; but the soul is merely the result of body and spirit coming together.
This is why the two scriptures I’ve shared so far are the ONLY places in all of Scripture where all three parts are listed or alluded to. On the other hand, verses that compare and contrast body and spirit show up throughout the Bible.

James 2:26 says that “the body without the spirit is dead.” What happens to the soul when we die? Well, without a body and a spirit existing together, there really is no soul. But the truth is that we will indeed have a body in the afterlife, and therefore, we will have a soul.

Consider how Jesus said in Matthew 10:28 that both body and soul are destroyed in hell. First of all, this shows us that hell is a real, physical place where a body can go! But it also reveals something about the soul: If the body is destroyed, the soul must also cease to exist. But this verse says nothing about the eternal spirit that has rebelled against God. It is the eternal spirit that will suffer the agonies of hell after body and soul are destroyed.

But what about those who do not go to hell when they die? The Scriptures give us an answer:

1 Corinthians 15:35–44, 50–52—But someone may ask, “How are the dead raised? With what kind of body will they come?” How foolish! What you sow does not come to life unless it dies. When you sow, you do not plant the body that will be, but just a seed, perhaps of wheat or of something else. But God gives it a body as he has determined, and to each kind of seed he gives its own body. All flesh is not the same: Men have one kind of flesh, animals have another, birds another and fish another. There are also heavenly bodies and there are earthly bodies; but the splendor of the heavenly bodies is one kind, and the splendor of the earthly bodies is another. The sun has one kind of splendor, the moon another and the stars another; and star differs from star in splendor.

So will it be with the resurrection of the dead. The body that is sown is perishable, it is raised imperishable; it is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory; it is sown in weakness, it is raised in power; it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.

If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body….

I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable. Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed—in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed. (NIV)

As Christians with faith in Christ, we will one day receive perfect eternal bodies for our eternal spirits to inhabit. As a result, we will have an everlasting soul. Heaven will be great because you will have a pure mind, a righteous will, and Christ-like emotions with which to experience all the joys of God’s Kingdom and presence! This is why 1 Peter 1:8-9 refers to the “salvation of our souls!”

The right and only correct answer is… the SOUL is the part of us that collects all our memories, decisions, regrets, emotions, self awareness, hopes, dreams, wishes, etc. including our subconsciousness and unconscious State of mind. In other words our Soul -=’s the Conscious Mind.

The SPIRIT, is the Energy that makes our bodies come to life. It is the energy that animates our flesh, bones, muscles, etc. providing movement, life itself. In other words Spirit equals Energy.
Since Spirit =’s Energy and the Soul =’s Consciousness, they are both equally important. One cannot exist without the other. We cannot exist without one or the other. So when you hear the phrase; Body, Soul, and Mind, it is incorrect. The correct phrase should be; Body , Soul, and Spirit! This is the vital Trinity needed to compose and complete a human being.

We need to know and understand that we are not humans having a spiritual experience, in fact we are spiritual beings having a human experience.

A combination of, body, soul, and spirit is required to live in this realm of existence, However, when our mortal bodies perish the Spirit and the Soul continue to exist. This is because it is scientifically proven that energy cannot be made nor destroyed it cannot cease to exist. It can only change in shape and form and it flows freely beyond the physical.
Now, in a biblical sense, it is written that together we all form and complete the body of Christ. God Lives within us. We are gods. This is because we all possess a piece, a small portion of energy. If combined, we form a perfect union. Together we become one. Whole, perfect, complete. Holy.

God made us in his own image and likeness, meaning we are made of 3 things just like he is. He is the Father, Son and Spirit. Hebrews 4:12 implies that the soul and spirit are closely connected because it says the Word of God is sharper than a double edged sword and it penetrates and divides the soul and the spirt, and judges the thoughts and intentions of the heart. When we die the first death, the body does not go, but we are to inherit a new one.

Let’s think of a robot. It has a shell and internal parts. It cannot work without without electricity. The shell is the body, which is the CPU and memory. The software is the soul and the spirit is the electricity. The electricity is the spark of the Father. It came diectly from him which gives us life. The soul doesn’t turn on without electricity. The shell doesn’t move or operate without the soul’s software instructions. The soul is what we call data. Information. It collects everything we do, hear, say and learn from. The soul and body are like an artifical intelligent being but it has no life without the spirit.

Mankind is working diligently to create sentience or awareness inside a machine that he created. I believe he will never reach that goal. However, man is also working on takiing a spirit and placing it into a machine or robot which gives it life. The spirits they are working with are demons which are the wandering nephilim without a home or body. Demons are limited to what they can do to us. They are like hackers but can only hack certain parts of your applications. They cannot get to the operating system unless you give them permission. Every day, they hack into your other applications like things they can relate to. Sin. Anything that hurts the body and soul including others.

The demons are jealous and want to inhabit and control you to feel again. They are always trying to get you to accept their application. They also know all of your habits because since birth, they have recorded everything you do. They look for ways to get inside your operating system and never stop. Your operating system (like windows or mac OS) has an antivirus. It’s an application called The Bible on your desktop. As long as you keep it open and working, you are protected from malicious cookies, trojan horses and viruses. Close the application, and you are vulnerable to attacks.

Your body or shell is an antenna with bluetooth wifi. It picks up on information flying through the air. When you close the Bible Application, you will notice incoming messages from your browser which are your eyes and ears. The messages are like spam and are tempting sales and marketing subject lines trying to get you to download an application to use daily. Sometimes the messages are click bait and you just can’t help yourself. Because you don’t have The Bible Antivirus running full time behind the scenes, you will inadvertantly download a virus because your soul and body were attracted to the message.

Most of the people in the world barely open up the antivirus Bible. They are at the mercy of scams, viruses and bots. It hurts the body and soul when opening all of the other appllications because there isn’t enough memory and space on the hardrive to keep them going all the time. The shell and components start to wear down and break. Only a small percentage of all the robots worldwide keep the Bible Antivirus open all day and night. They learned how to program their body and soul to keep the Bible Antivirus running in the background at all times. They realized that the programmer, in this case God, had instructions in the Bible Antivirus tool that teaches you how to write the code to put on the full armor of God.

Most don’t realize they have to seek and find this source code in The Bible Antivirus Application to cut and paste the source code on the backend to keep the application open and running in the background. This means you have to learn a little about the creator, programming language and understand how the code affects the body and soul or the shell and software. By studying the bible, you are able to learn the history of robots, shells, CPU’s, Memory and software that has been evolving over the last 6,000 years. Without this knowledge, you wouldn’t understand what a virus, malware or spyware looks like. You now have good understanding of what malicious attacks look like and what to avoid. Every now and then, a clever ad makes it past your senses and you give in to temptation, but you have a new application that can cleanout the virus.

5% of the world have enough faith in their understanding and relationship with their shell, software and electricity to operate with little harm. Because they took the intiative to seek first the kingdom of heaven, they found the tools to help them write code. Your soul isn’t alive. It’s aritifically intelligent and only knows the world by what it has learned. The soul has to listen to the spirit and has to obey the spirit as long as the Spirit understands it is in control. This means you have to program your soul to do what you want instead of operating on auto-pilot. If you know nothing about your history and God, you will not be able to write the code to turn auto-pilot off.

When we walk around the world of robots, 95% of all other robots are operating on auto-pilot. Each robot’s spirit doesn’t even realize it exists. It’s dormant. One day, a robot who is a skilled programmer, starts asking questions to the oblivious robot in hopes to see a spark. Sometimes they get one and sometimes they don’t. This is the Christian walk. Challenging people’s visible world and asking questions that proves the world isn’t lining up to logic. Many of those robots received the spark and for fear of not fitting in, they accept the idea of a spirit but never learn how to program the body and soul to put on the full armor of god. They eventually lose faith or are attacked so hard, they have to shut down or be operated on.

The spirit has access to code that is hidden in the body. There are lines of code that is hidden inside called an easter egg, which is a hidden compartment the creator made for someone to find. In programming, an "Easter egg" is a hidden message, feature, or joke intentionally placed within software by a developer, often undocumented and only accessible through a specific sequence of actions or inputs, essentially a secret surprise for users who discover it; similar to the concept of hunting for hidden Easter eggs in real life. Smith Wigglesworth and the 7 Pentecostal pioneers have found this easter egg. It is a clever little hidden program that bypasses the operating system to do supernatural things. The body and soul were programmed to be limited and almost all doors have been closed. The easter egg application that they found allows the spirit to tell the body and other robot bodies to heal themselves. It’s just a software code that bypasses all the restraints.

This easter egg is called Faith. The funny thing is, all of these helpful tools and applications have always been there. But no one wants to do the work to find it. This is seeking the kingdom of heaven. It takes a lot of work. You can’t find it if you have no passion to look. It takes a disciple of Jesus who did the work to give examples of the easter eggs they found. Those that want what they have turn into disciples themselves. The people who find the easter eggs are from all different denominations from baptist, pentacolstal, luterhan, catholic and all others. It doesn’t matter what software language (or religion) you use to find the easter egg. In fact, many have found this outside of religion. I believe the creaator put it there for us to find after the fall.

Software or your soul is just 1’s and 0’s. Your body or shell and components have been built with plenty of hard drive space and memory. Software is the 1’s and 0’s compiled into different ways. Each code of a memory or how to do an action is stored in the body. Academia says we use 100% of our brain. This is the CPU. But it has the ability to store much more data. The hard drive is stored inside the brain. It stores the main operating system and all of the applications. Memory is like a hard drive but it’s tempoary. When the brain or hard drive gets full, it places a lot of data that isn’t used throughout the body. Our organs and cells hold a lot of our memories that we don’t use.

This is where the easter eggs are. You won’t find faith in your pineal gland or brain. After study, reflection, experiences and a yearning for the truth, you stumble upon the specific sequence of actions to bypass the operating system. Most that find it, forget the sequence and action to make it happen again. This is because they were not recording. They have no way of going back in time to look at what sequence they did to perform the miracle. It could have been something like waking up, giving thanks in prayer, opening the bible and reading a verse. The sequence is then turned on and when they do an action, it works. But the antivirus bible application can be turned off when the eyes or ears see something (what we call sin) that distracts them.

It doesn’t mean you are a bad robot and deserve hell. It means you are still learning and finding your way. It is rare that one finds and records the sequences and can perform miracles full time. This is a level of faith and understanding that scares the other robots. They all gather around and find ways to cancel you from society because since they can’t access what you can, you must be removed to keep the peace. This is why disciples and prophets are always hunted down and destroyed. They are a threat to the world and could possibly change it and since all the other robots have no idea they have a spririt, they remove the freak.

Your body, soul and spirit are one of the mysteries that the lord has left for us to understand. This example is a crude and simple way to describe what they are. They are extremely more difficult to understand because they all were created by an entity that is from another realm or dimension that is better in all things and ways. A place where the body, soul and spirit is what you learn in pre-school and understand the complexities at an early fourth dimensional age. A place so advanced that we could never fathom it’s intellect and being.

According to the Bible, when a person dies, their "spirit" (often used interchangeably with "soul") leaves their body, returning to God who gave it, as stated in Ecclesiastes 12:7: "Then the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.". We are not sure if the sofware and data goes, too. We are told through countless near death experiences that all of the meory does leave with the spirit. Many experiencers say they can access all of their past life experiences and some even talk of being shown their entire life after death.

Christianity is the only religion where you receive eternal life or get to eat of the tree of life after death. It comes with a condition, like all religions do. You have to believe that the creator sent his son to pay for your bad deeds. This is sketchy given the information we have to work with and what is the real truth. Whatever is out there waiting for us after we die, according to all religions, will only allow us freedom if we do something in return. This is a choice where the robot has to face logic. Is his creator angry at him for making mistakes or is his creator waiting for him with open arms? I refuse to worship a creator who sets condictions of heaven or hell based on an eternity while you are given 120 years only to figure everything out.

When Jesus said if you look at a woman in lust, you committed a sin. HIs disciples all said then who could ever enter heaven? This means they all still looked at women with lust and guilty. Jesus’ response was with God all things are possible. Be a humble robot. Appreciate the handywork your creator did. Appreciate that he sent his son to fix the problem of the fall and what his past creation did to us. Realize that you are just a robot without all the answers. And realize there is a war going on between fourth dimension beings and you are just in the way. Continue to find the easter eggs, cause there are more, and show other robots what you found. We all are probably deceived and do not have the truth to hold onto. Humble yourself and believe that your creator spent too much time and effort into creating you just to throw you in the garbage dump. Remember, the Bible says God made adam with his own hands. We are the first to be created with touch instead of just his mouth or word.
