cornelboy:Dont put your words into my mouth! Are angels real beings? Is God a real being? Being a real bean has nothing to do with having physical bodies. |

cornelboy:Of course the Spirit of Man in union which his SOUL(His Personal Identity) goes to God. There is no contradiction. That is why Abraham could be identified as well as Lazarus and the Richman. God is not he God of the Dead but of the living. Mk12:26-27 26 But concerning the dead rising, have you not read about the burning bush in the Book of Moses, how God told him, ‘I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob’? 27 He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!” |

shadeyinka:God and the angels are spiritual bodies. We human are physical beings. It's God's spirit that gives us life. When we die the spirit leaves, life ends and body decays. |

shadeyinka:You just keep arguing based on what dictionary defined as Character, whereas all the explanation you are giving fit in perfectly to the word Character as equal to Soul! ![]() If Jesus was sad it simply means the Character Jesus is not pleased with what happened and if you're a Christian, whatever saddens Jesus should equally sadden you, so it's you that must change your character to conform to that of Jesus so that you see matters through his perspective! Character assassination simply means the person was misrepresented, the real character is not what was reported. That's what God's son meant when he said "do not fear those who can kill the body but can't kill the soul" Matthew 10:28 It's humans that can change the real character of a person and make false reports but God can't be deceived. The allegation levelled against Jesus in the first century was "blasphemy" that's why most Jews who later heard of him never liked his story because it was a totally different picture that those murderous religionists painted. So humans can try to destroy a person's character even after they've killed him but does that mean they can blur the sight of the Almighty? ![]() |

Maximus69:You are still trying hard to FORCE the definition of SOUL on CHARACTER. If they are not the same thing, they cant be the same for all manner of gymnastics you may try to do. Convince me by substituting CHARACTER for SOUL in a few scriptures. Except character has been redefined in your dictionary and its still with the press. LOL Yes o! According to your doctrine, God doesn't know anything about Herod, Pharaoh, and Judas etc. He has completely forgotten. LOL! |
| Re: Most Christians Do Not Understand What The Word "SOUL" Means??? by shadeyinka(m): 8:28pm On Jul 23, 2020 |
Maximus69:You should have answered my questions When you say I am happy, is it your character that is happy or YOU (You on the inside)? When you are intelligent, is it your character that is intelligent or YOU(You on the inside)? When you are afraid, is it your character that is afraid or YOU(You on the inside)? When you endure pain as a good soldier of Christ, is it your character that is enduring pain or YOU(You on the inside)? When you resist a temptation, is it your character that is resisting the temptation or YOU(You on the inside)? |

shadeyinka:you need to study that whole chapter more and understand fully. Jesus was only pointing to resurrection of the dead. When Paul said in one his Epistles that, those that died in the Lord fell asleep, what does it mean ![]() When Jesus died, do you think his soul lived somewhere before resurrection ![]() When Jesus raised up Lazarus too, did his soul live somewhere before he rised up ![]() |
| Re: Most Christians Do Not Understand What The Word "SOUL" Means??? by shadeyinka(m): 8:34pm On Jul 23, 2020 |
Maximus69:I cannot help but be amused. Matthew 26:38 38Then he said to them, "My soul is exceedingly sorrowful to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me." The Character of Jesus was SORROWFULLNESS according to Maximus I can understand now why I couldn't comprehend you I better take my leave before my little English language is corrupted! |

cornelboy:But human beings have a body, soul and spirit. 1 Thessalonians 5:23 Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” Let me play along with you: At death, the spirit goes to God and the body goes to the earth/ground: where does the soul go to? |

shadeyinka:Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa my friend, the word Soul can mean different things whereas Character is the inner person who is liable to change! So it couldn't be swapped just like that, but that's the only way to help a layman grasp the concept of Soul! With the word Character anyone from anywhere could easily understand that God loves virtuous people and he's anticipating having them back! Genesis 4:10 Evildoers doesn't bring him joy, remember the Bible calls him "the happy God" {1Timothy 1:11} So he deletes the thoughts of evildoers from his minds, that doesn't mean he's not capable of remembering but he wants us to forgive and forget the mistakes of others, of course we can't easily forget the damages caused by evildoers but God is able to right all the wrongs and even rearrange things. So when he said 'forgive and forget' he means delete that evil character, because your brother is striving vigorously to change it" ![]() |

cornelboy:Death=Disconnection Physical Death: Disconnection/Separation of the Body from the Union of the Soul and Spirit Spiritual Dearth: Disconnection/Separation between The Spirit of Man from God Second Death: Eternal Disconnection/Separation Between God and The Union of mans Body, Soul and Spirit (after resurrection) When a person dies physically, his body goes to the ground while the union of his soul and spirit returns to God. With his soul, he maintains his memory, identity, emotion, intellect. with his spirit, he has a spiritual identity by which he is recognized and differentiated from other spirit beings |

shadeyinka:When God's word says "do not fear those who can kill the body but can't kill the soul" does that mean everyone is afraid of death? Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa my friend, it simply means Christians shouldn't fear death, of course that's implies change of Character! ![]() |

shadeyinka:shadeyinka :1 Thessalonians 5:23 Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” DappaD : In Paul's letter to the Christians in Thessalonica, when addressing the brothers — he was talking about the entire Christian congregation. So he prayed for the preservation of the “spirit,” or mental disposition of the congregation. He also prayed for its “soul,” its life, or existence, and for its “body”—the entire body of anointed Christians. See 1Corinthians 12:12,13 for explanation about this “body” shadeyinka : Let me play along with you: At death, the spirit goes to God and the body goes to the earth/ground: where does the soul go to? DappaD : Genesis 2:7 And Jehovah God went on to form the man out of dust from the ground and to blow into his nostrils the breath of life , and the man became a living person[soul] The equation goes like this: Dust + Breath of life = Living soul The dust and breath of life on their own can't make a human being, only when the two go together. So when a person dies, the dust goes to the ground and the breath of life goes back to God because he is the one who gave it (Ecclesiastes 12:7) |

shadeyinka:You're still trying to replace Soul for Character from the humans perspective, whereas the Bible quotation you're referring to simply means Jesus is not happy with the situation surrounding his death. For your information Sir, Jesus is not afraid to die because he already knew that he must sacrifice his PERFECT body and there is no way this can happen without him dying. But the Character (Jesus) doesn't want a situation where he will be accused, charged and executed on the grounds of blasphemy! How will the coming generations of Jews view him? Remember he came purposely because of the lost sheep of the house of Israel {Matthew 15:24} so he's not happy that Satan is turning the table against him, Jesus is the first and foremost spirit son of God who loves his father's name to be Sanctified (held holy) {Matthew 6:19} but Satan wants Jesus to be killed on the ground of someone who dishonour God's name! ![]() |

Emusan:shadeyinka attempted to make it seem like all those three are different aspects of a human being that can stand on their own. But Genesis 2:7 begs to differ |
| Re: Most Christians Do Not Understand What The Word "SOUL" Means??? by DappaD: 9:19pm On Jul 23, 2020 |
Emusan:According to Genesis 2:7, Jehovah formed the body of Adam from the “dust” and blew into his nostrils “breath of life” and then Adam became a “living person/soul” |

cornelboy:1 Thessalonians 5:23 Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely, and may your whole spirit and soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ” . A human being has a body, soul and spirit Luke 9:28-36 About eight days after Jesus said this, he took Peter, John and James with him and went up onto a mountain to pray. As he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became as bright as a flash of lightning. Two men, Moses and Elijah, appeared in glorious splendor, talking with Jesus. They spoke about his departure, which he was about to bring to fulfillment at Jerusalem. Peter and his companions were very sleepy, but when they became fully awake, they saw his glory and the two men standing with him. As the men were leaving Jesus, Peter said to him, “Master, it is good for us to be here. Let us put up three shelters—one for you, one for Moses and one for Elijah.” While he was speaking, a cloud appeared and covered them, and they were afraid as they entered the cloud. A voice came from the cloud, saying, “This is my Son, whom I have chosen; listen to him.” When the voice had spoken, they found that Jesus was alone. Moses and Elijah were both dead and buried but Peter, James and John were permitted to see them Rev6:9-11 9And when the Lamb opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the testimony they had upheld. 10And they cried out in a loud voice, “How long, O Lord, holy and true, until You judge those who live on the earth and avenge our blood?” 11Then each of them was given a white robe and told to rest a little while longer, until the full number of their fellow servants, their brothers, were killed, just as they had been killed You may argue that this is an allegory but if the scenario is impossible the scriptures would not have used it. The souls who had been killed had their memory and emotion, they were each given a white robe, they could hear the next instruction to wait until... 1 Samuel 28:3–25 11 Then the woman asked, “Whom shall I bring up for you?” “Bring up Samuel,” he said. 12 When the woman saw Samuel, she cried out at the top of her voice and said to Saul, “Why have you deceived me? You are Saul!” 15 Samuel said to Saul, “Why have you disturbed me by bringing me up?” “I am in great distress,” Saul said. “The Philistines are fighting against me, and God has departed from me. He no longer answers me, either by prophets or by dreams. So I have called on you to tell me what to do.” 16 Samuel said, “Why do you consult me, now that the Lord has departed from you and become your enemy? 17 The Lord has done what he predicted through me. The Lord has torn the kingdom out of your hands and given it to one of your neighbors—to David. 18 Because you did not obey the Lord or carry out his fierce wrath against the Amalekites, the Lord has done this to you today. 19 The Lord will deliver both Israel and you into the hands of the Philistines, and tomorrow you and your sons will be with me. The Lord will also give the army of Israel into the hands of the Philistines.” The Witch of Endor and Saul. Who did Saul see? A demon or the spirit of Samuel? But then, even the witch was surprised at what came up. WHY? Luke 16:19–31 The Story of Lazarus and the Rich man is meaningless without looking at the context of judgement If it was jus t a parable, why would Jesus use that which is completely wrong to illustrate a spiritual truth. |

shadeyinka:Here is your answer Acts 2:27, King James Bible Because thou wilt not leave my soul in hell, neither wilt thou suffer thine Holy One to see corruption. Peter quoted this verse from Psalm 16:10, it was a prophecy and was fufilled at Jesus' resurrection. You should ask yourself that, because I don't believe the "soul" the way you believe it. Pls how do you explain that verse with your believe, you think Jesus' "spiritual soul" went to hell ![]() I hope you are still aware of the various translations for "soul" in the Bible? ![]() |

Maximus69:Of course there was no way I would have understood you because I am a human being who speak human languages. What you have done is anti human by the rules of English language. You could have mad a little sense if you could just substitute character for soul in the scriptures but, your theory fails woefully in this regards too. How do you expect me to understand you except I present myself for brainwashing by your people who have invented their own linguistic formulary. |
