Hi KW, You say “This is an interesting topic you have breached then it seems to me “spirit” in scripture has multiple definitions depending on what context it is used in.” I agree there is little are some different  meanings but we are made in the image of God and that image does not relate to flesh. eg The spark of life in all living things from the breath of God [Jas 2] Angels and demons-[heb 1-2] Souls without bodies- eg what the apostles thought they saw walking on the lake. You say “You have the Spirit of God which seem to be God's soul” God's soul is mentiioned in Ps 11 and there is no indication that His Spirit is that soul and more than our spirit is our soul[Heb4] “but also could be his aura of righteousness and holiness in other places.”   Where? ” You have the spirit of Christ which could be Jesus soul or the aura of righteousness given off by his anointing.” The anointing Spirit gave life to Jesus even after his death and is the same Spirit of God that anointed the prophets   “Then you have the normal spirit of a man which is either the corrupt aura given off by normal men or their souls. “ Why do you say this?? corrupt AURA? It has no scriptural backings does it? The spirit of man is the spirit of man and can be with the Spirit of God.[Rom8] “I find this somewhat confusing as there seems to be a crossover between the two definitions as we are told to live by the radiance of the Christ spirit which is a reflection of God's aura of righteousness and at the same time we are told that Jesus and God live in us which I assume is their souls.” Again scripture please. ”  Maybe I am taking that to far and all that lives in us is their aura of righteousness which is really the same aura as Jesus' is the reflection of God's” Where is this AURA in scripture?

Hi Nick,

Think of it another way: We make up the body of Christ, but Christ is the Head of the Church and God is the Head of Christ.

Each individuals brings his identity/spirit into the “oneness” of spirits, otherwise if only the Holy Spirit who unites us all is in the equation then there is no need for our individual souls to exist…because all is the Holy Spirit.

In America generally when a person speaks of their soul they think of their eternal spirit. But as you point out there is a big difference.

IMO a person's soul is talking about his “conscience” and the spirit is the eternal being that comprises the other half of our existence (body and spirit). Our spirit consists of heart (mind)and soul (feeling).

Our spirits are joined with God's spirit who is joined with Jesus' spirit, etc. The combination of all the spirits comprise the “Family of God” or “Church of Christ” to which we become a member when we accept Jesus Christ into our hearts.

Have a blessed day, Nick.

David

Hi DBF,
The spirit of man offers nothing to God.
Salvation of the SOUL is the aim of God.

heb10.39, jas5.20, 1peter1.9; 2.11,25,

very true ,

[NickHassan]

Hi,
Understanding the Spirit is the key.

[terraricca]

If we do not listen to the spirit we are in a big lost,it would not matter the knowledge we have in scriptures ,

[NickHassan]

Hi,
In the Spirit of Christ we worship and pray to His God and our God.
[Jn4, rom8 esp v 26]

[NickHassan]

Hi,
Folks need to realise that scripture is spiritual.
When it says Jesus it does not necessarily mean quite the same as Jesus Christ or the Christ.

As well prophetic usage or retrospective applications also confuse natural minds.
It is different

some believe that they understand what it says but still do not follow on it ,and so do not obey the spirit,by doing this they have rejected the truth of that spirit ,and so all they know is orienting them out of Gods truth,and become wanderers in the dark.

but they would still believe that they have the truth,

N

a religion is what you make ,unless you follow all of scriptures as you grow in knowledge you change as you understand it ,but refusing to grow will not be an advantage

[NickHassan]

Hi t,
Are you listening?
We walk while the light is with us.
Standing still criticising others is not a truly valid option

N

the light is in us to prove it is to show it ,but you still have to show all that you have it

I mean the true light of Christ

[NickHassan]

Hi T,
We do not have to prove anything.
Keep walking

Hi T, We do not have to prove anything. Keep walking

N

if we do not have to prove anything ,why would Paul ask us to test if we are in Christ light ??
