DeOTR:

Its not an argument. It's a discussion.
The issue of body, spirit and soul is an important concept Christians must understand.
I think that's clear enough in Genesis 2:7.

yea you're right. i can't help but say that some seem to see as complicated issue so they do their best to avoid it. what are your real stands on this subject?

Sometimes i feel like going back to secondary school so i can learn abc but, that's gone. The university is right here in front of me, what a gift. Hey fetch me a cup of chocolate, i wanna relax while reading some of these screwed up experiences. #youngandbouncing

Well! my brothers and sister it is very possible according to that man (the doctor) faith. All that you need to know is that TB Joshua didn't cure the doctor, God did it, and it is according to that man's faith. In fact, we should be very careful in time like this. God is not a respecter of any man. He does things in his will not yours. He may decide to use the same man you are mocking to heal you, so be humble, submissive, willing to all submit to all that Lord seeth on your part.

With the arrival of ibom deep seaport, this and so many hidden treasures would be unveiled. However, the state by then, would have more capital for boundary course and developments. I want to personally thank you for your efforts. We need people like you now and, on the morrow to energizes the visions of our hero pass, our ancestors who in time pass has contributed to the reality that we experience today. With this same spirit, I'm also encouraging the state government to continue with the building of the International Worship Centre as it marks the true name of the state and her slogan. THE LAND OF PROMISE. AKWA ABASI IBOM (almighty God) STATE. Who knows tomorrow! may be this would be where the true sons and daughters of God will gather to sing praises and adorations to their God without being afraid of bullets and bombs. #mkpoamaachange

So many things are going on in this state that shocks a whole lot of people. As i'm typing this comments, #mkpoamaachange is coming to change the mindset of akwa ibom people and those living here. May the good lord bless the governor mr Udom Emmanuel

Congrats!.... #mkpoamaachange

For the mere fact that you uses that bible simply mean that you've not yet develop the urge for the truth. They translated a bible to suit their personal teachings like 144,000 and that Christ did not resurrect with a physical body. Is this what Christ taught? A lot of bungos bible you see in the market today is a result of personal doctrines and greediness from sheep clothing pastors and prophets but inside is wolf leading the sheep of God away.

DeOTR:

NIV ---This is what God the Lord says —the Creator of the heavens, who stretches them out, who spreads out the earth with all that springs from it, who gives breath to its people, and life to those who walk on it.
God gives His breath to man, He gives His spirit, or He gives life.
If you interchange the Hebrew word for breath here (neshamah) and spirit (ruach), they mean the same thing. The former means gasp/breath, and the latter translated as breath/wind/air/spirit. That's why it's safe for NIV to refer to "spirit" simply as life in their own translation.
They are different phrases that means essentially the same thing.

First of all i hope you're not seeing this as an argument. So that the spirit can flow. the spirit of the Lord does not like contention. i'm going to share with you things that i realise from my personal study. The bible that you just quote from has about thirteen missing verses from the original bible that i personally discovered.

CalvinGaye:


So in judging by your faulty conclusion,

It means

Psyche + logos = which gives birth to the word PSYCHOLOGY and which rightly means STUDY OF THE MIND or PSYCHE, is also the same as STUDY OF THE BRAIN right

The what now is NEUROLOGY?

please what is mind? help a brother here.

CalvinGaye:


Lol! Bro just understand that your MIND is NOT
and I repeat IS NOT and WILL NEVER BE YOUR BRAIN??

Your Brain is in charge of your Intellect, Smarts and your body functioning.

Your Mind is far more vast than your brain sir. And it encompasses your whole being.

Look for the meaning of "mind" underneath it you would see "brain"

Whenever Mind is brought into topic, all i could think of is brain and information. what is inside our heads is brain and that's why i said brain.

Royalsleek22:
Soul is what connects the spirit and the flesh

Thanks. Spirit + Physical Body =Soul. Spirit - Physical Body = Death.

DeOTR:
This is the answer: Genesis 2:7 - And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul."

The breath is the spirit, and that makes the object formed out of the dust a living soul.
Spirit simply means breath, while soul is a living being. As simple as that.

Isaiah 42:5 Thus said God the LORD, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein: (close quote) this tells you that the breath is different from the spirit. May be you should consider calling God breath cos john said he's a spirit.

LaEvilIMiss:


Bible is inconclusive with many parts missing or excluded

Well! the bible was written by inspired men but was translated by scholars. It suppose to have been translated by a man or men with influence of the Holy spirit. The seems mistake is from men not from the original writers or God. You can't use a circular knowledge or canal mind on things like bible. That's why you need to have the companionship of the Holy spirit before you can get the real (truth) message.

CalvinGaye:



You are right that the Spirit is not the breath.
But why do you say the conscience has nothing to do with the soul or Spirit??

So sorry about the delay. What is conscience in the first place? It is the inner voice or feelings that signal us whenever we do/did something right or wrong. However, it is base on our standard of moral training from infant or so. let's say christian and muslem for instance, do you think people from these religions have the same conscience? of course no! Conscience has a lot to do with mind (brain) and information (knowledge) in it.

DeOTR:

Ecclesiastes 12:7 ...'Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it.
You're in direct contrast to the above verse which clearly states that the breath of life given to man by God at creation is the spirit that returns to God when man dies.
The original book uses the same word for breath and spirit. For the most part, spirit means breath, or air wherever it appears in the Bible. I'm not taking about the English translations here.

The question is this, did the Bible say that the breath of life will return to God? which one did the bible mention spirit or the breath of life?

"soul" is used in various ways, with diverse connotations found throughout the scriptures and in other Church writings. However, the word also has a precise definition given in latter-day revelation: the soul is the united entity of the spirit with the physical body (D&C 88:15-16 ). This concept is enhanced by an understanding of (1) the creation of humankind as a uniting of the spirit body and the physical body (Gen. 2:7)..... Points of correction; 1 conscience has nothing to do with soul or spirit. 2 spirit is not a force and for the purpose of understanding, there is a different between the breath of life and the spirit. isaiah 42:5.

Well! I wouldn't say is a stupid question but, a soul searching question that can actually transform one lifestyle to much better standard. What can having a girl friend add to your life? There are a lot of positive things a good girl friend can add to your life but they are really rare to come by. In the other hand, the negative one are in every corner and, sex is almost the primary product of having a girl friend which is a direct violation of God's law. The key to life is order. Order come from the law. Focus on building yourself, discovering who you are takes a lot of inventory and quality time that distraction is unavoidably a stumbling block. Just fix yourself before you think of bringing someone into your life. Don't bring someone into your life before thinking of fixing yourself when you already been brain wash with i love you! i love you!! kind of stuff.

This is the core reason why God asked us to stay away from fornication. We're so much over dose ourselves with grace that we forget the law of God and its consequences. Less you put forth your hand again, and commit another murder go ahead and marry the girl. You will receive favour from men and from God for the sake of the baby. Set your ways straight before man and your creator. Dedicate a day and submit yourself and the girl in His presence (fast in any bible believing Church) and then go and see your father with the girl. If you don't marry the girl now, you may regret for the rest of your life.

The ideology people have about church is alarming. What do people really think is church or a pastor? Every single problem in our failed society you try so hard to find a way and link it to a church or a pastor, can't you just do without a church or pastor of a thing? Mind you! everyone has eternal gift from God known as AGENCY. No matter what you teach them, they would have to make their decision, you can't force what you teach on them... Concerning the topic, you have to return every penny that's left with you to those you've scarmed. If you can't find them, take it to the orphanage home. This is the part of repentance that is so difficult if not impossible to achieve, and this is why you are not suppose to steal in the first place cos you may not be able to make the necessary restitution for it to repaire. God has a solution for you, hold on firm to him, nevertheless is not gonna be easy, it may involve life, but at long run you will have peace and eternal joy.

saraki2019:
3 question, i will like to ask is
1-why does no one practice christainity in jerusalem
2-why jews never believed injesus and your bible claim that they are God chosen
3- explain how jesus died for the sin of mankind while we still have fornicators, homosexaul, trannies and bisexual today
4- jesus is not having the qualitities of messiah as describe in talmud
explain?

You're not that far from it. All that you need to do is just ask Him. Infact, He knows you personally, may be the reason why you're like that (don't believe in Him) is because He want to use you some day to reveal His glory just like Paul. So you see my brother, I love people like you because they are always there for a purpose. I bear you my humble testimony that Jesus Christ lives, He truely died for my sins and imperfections and i know that one day, just one you too will know.

And ye shall know the the truth, and the truth shall make ye free.

I'm still single anyway! love or respect is not something you just hand over, it has to be earned and we need both in marriage. Moreover, a real man doesn't really need to be loved but to be respected in all things and in all places. However, a woman on the other hand need no respect from a man but to be loved, that's to say, to be pampered like an egg, been cared for in all things and in all places. Finally, when a man care for a woman, pampered her, he automatically earned the respect he deserves from a woman, and when a woman yields (give in) to the enticings of a man care and focus, she automatically earned the love she deserves from a man. You can now agree with me that a man needs money, you don't want money, you need it. work your bud off, fix yourself before you start looking for a wife and i give you my promise that you can marry and any kind or type of woman if you are fixed. EEGOO, OWO, OKOK, SIKA ,MONEY!!!

One cannot be saved in ignorance. It is impossible for a man to be saved in ignorance (D&C 131:6). A man is saved no faster than he gets knowledge, for if he does not get knowledge, he will be brought into emotional wahala. Knowledge saves a man.

You are suppose to date as many guys as possible in order to discover yourself and who you wish to settle down with, but fornication and the mentality of "he take good care of me" has turn it into some thing else. Should you make a move to know more guys around, they'll name you a harlot or use the common word a "cheat". Now my question is; how is it a cheat when a damn is not paid on this girl head? If you take away the sex and money spent by either party you'll realise that you owe no body explanation but yourself if you decide to walk away. Stop fornication. Stop spending unnecessary amount of money on each other. Let's focus on finding the right friend, your better half, your honey pie pie to settle down with, by doing so, we reduce the rate of divorce people in every corner of the street. My opinion!

It seems like we've lost the taste of what this world suppose to be. The world has trained us away from the original plan of the creator, and all that is necessary for evil to proper is that good people usually do nothing. All in the name of "mind ur own business" we've stop strengthening and watching over each others. Imagine if she tried and it fail this time around, would you be able to face the fact that you should have said some thing but you didn't? Let's just pause for a moment and think of where we're going! Is there really a life after this one? whether you like it or not, she has already been lured into a path leading to eternal damnation and she need someone to tap her by her shoulder and point her to another direction which leads to eternal life. You've been given an opportunity to be that special person my brother. Don't wait until is too late. You can get someone involve, you dont have to reveal your identity that way she wouldn't stop coming because of shame. get a real man of God to do.

There is a phrase i love so much and i'm going to say it here; "there is no smoke without a fire". the second one is that "a toad or flog does not jump in a day time without being chased by something". the op doesnt want to say much but i perceive something fishy in his locker.

miniziter:


Me I read it "as i'm as i'm...

LOL! So you've become almighty who is trying to tell moses his name.

You are not married to her yet, so i'm not gonna nail you to the cross at this point in time but if you ever decided to move on with the former idea because you think of her being the ideal partner, i shall call you a goat! and you belong to the zoo. When you allow emotion to over shadow your sense of reasoning as a human being you become an animal. We're working really hard to minimize the number of sickle cell anemia in africa and you're here trying to make life more complicated than what it is for our future generation. Thank you so much for bringing this topic on board but i beg you in the name of that girl you love so much that you don't do it please. It's not your fault you know! she can equally understand. I don't want my son or daughter to come home on the morrow with abnormal guy or a girl and sounds like " dad, i don't care about what you have to say, i'm gonna spend the rest of my life with him period" just like the way you're sounding right about now.

Lagos is fun but i've made my decision that i would never raise my kids in such a place. Life has a lot to offer apart from partying and all what not. You barely see some one with a normal human face, all you see is frustrated people every where, trekking as if they're going to hell, young but old looking and sad at all time as if the whole world is going crazy down on them. You don't have to go through this! people here embrace short cut as part of life. gaming is the habit of the day. you see people gamblying beyond limit. for some one who growth up in uyo, Lagos was a hell for me. I've been to Accra thinking i would see the same thing but i was shocked that the whole population of Ghana was what i saw in lagos. Educate yourself where ever you are, travel out, dont get stucked lagos cos it doesn't worth as it seems. it's a disaster.

Sometimes i'm worried about a lot of things we say and do as human. just a year ago, Mr Donald Trump was really worried about the killings in Nigerian by boko haram. None of those victims were white, but he told mr president (mohammadu) about the consequences that could come as a result of killing Christians in Nigeria. This man has always stands up for Christians where ever they may be but today you named him a racist because he did something you didnt understand the meaning. instead of you to humble yourself and ask for the meaning of that gesture, you went ahead for some reasons and said he came out to take a photo. Are you really serious? So you can open your mouth and tell your kids that he came out to take a photo shot. shame on you. As for you christians here, i just want to remind you about the incident in the desert with the children of Israel and moses. Being a leader is not that simple. Moses was not able to enter into the promise land because of the habit of Israelites towards their God.

Doradorwa:
.sir i nid not to cross check my christianity because dere is no such word in God's heart. When God created the world- he created it without religion but wit love. No christian no muslim no nothing. He created us all as his own. We are all equally loved by d father. And on d judgement day we wil b judged by d work of our hands not by our religion. God is love and we are all mandated to love.

My dear, for it must needs be, that there is an opposition in all things. if not so, my dear, righteousness could not be brought to pass, neither wickedness, holiness nor misery, neither good nor bad. i'm sure you do remember sons of Adam. the one who killed the other. as long as satan is still here on earth, the opposition is still going to happen. there was no religion like you rightly said in the beginning but then as time goes satan stir up the hearts of men against their maker. i totally condemn what the officer did but going around destroying properties and stealing no!
