Great Agruements exist as to What our nature is internal or otherwise? Give your Best response or closest approximation of your belief which of following describe YOU the best in this Survey then briefly explain your choice and any difficulity in selecting one over other.
August 6, 2008 at 4:58 pm#210097Not3in1ParticipantSince we can partake of the divine nature NOW, I would have to say that we are flesh and blood with washed souls.
Jesus is reconciling us back to God!
That's my short answer. I'm not sure where that would fit in your poll?
Thanks, bro.
Glad that you are here,
MandyAugust 6, 2008 at 8:22 pm#210098IreneParticipantKimbo Genesis says that God created us out of the dust of the earth and breathed Life into Him. And we became a Living being, or Soul.
In Eccel. 12: 7 it says that the Spirit of man will go back to God, who gave it. So we have a being, Soul and a Spirit that we can reason with, which with God”s Holy Spirit we are made one with God and all that have God's Holy Spirit.
Peace and Love IreneAugust 7, 2008 at 12:09 am#210099seekingtruthParticipantI believe we are in some ways like a computer, the hardware (our body) is able to process information, but won't do anything without a program (our soul) to make the “decisions”, our spirit is like a redundant drive that can house the programs but is transparent to a user. I believe that the Holy Spirit is like a remote access program and can help you make the right decisions but can be ignored or even shut off locally.
Maybe I should start a new church the assemblies of CPU… Maybe not

August 7, 2008 at 2:13 am#210100942767ParticipantHi Kimba08:
As a born again believer, I am a living soul or person with a mind, a free will, and emotions. When I was born again God washed away my sins and became the Father of my spirit. I am becoming like Jesus as my Father leads me to all truths in His Word and I learn to apply what He teaches me to my daily life.
The life that I live in obedience to the Word of God determines who I am. This is my spirit that is being formed in me by God as I learn to apply His Word in my daily life. It is with my soul, my mind, my free will and my emotions, that I have a relationship with God and make the decisions for my life.
The body is the temple, but the body of flesh is temporary. As born again believes we will receive a spiritual body.
God Bless

August 10, 2008 at 5:20 am#210102gollamudiParticipantHi brother Kimba,
We are of body (Flesh and bones), spirit and a soul(blood) as a result of body and spirit. As Gen 2:7 says“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”
and also please see Gen 9:4-5
4But you shall not eat flesh with its(E) life, that is, its blood. 5And for your lifeblood I will require a reckoning:(F) from every beast I will require it and(G) from man. From his fellow man I will require a reckoning for the life of man”.
So soul is nothing but our life which in our blood.
Thanks
AdamAugust 10, 2008 at 6:58 am#210103NickHassanParticipantHi Gm,
Does scripture say the life is blood or is IN THE BLOOD?August 11, 2008 at 7:38 am#210104gollamudiParticipantOh! sorry for the misquoting you are right my brother “life is blood'
August 12, 2008 at 3:45 pm#210105GeneBalthropParticipantKimba08……..A Spirit appears to be useless unless it has a body to indwell, because it, of itself cant animate anything without a body. Jesus said the unclean spirit goes about in arid places looking for rest but can't seem to find any. Maybe even GOD'S Spirit finds rest in His creation. Just speculation. But i believe the Soul/Spirit do indwell our Body's…..And a Spirit need a body to be complete, Just my opinion, and Seekingtruth, may be more right then he thinks, we may be more like sophisticated computers then we think.
August 12, 2008 at 7:43 pm#210106NickHassanParticipantHi GB,
I believe you are right about demonic evil spirits and even the spirit of men and animals.But our invisible God does not have a physical body of earth.
Also His Spirit is shown to imbue creation outside of any physical bodies.Gen1
2And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.Ps 139
7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?Acts 17
27That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:The offered indwelling of God's Spirit is an extraordinary privilege
August 13, 2008 at 3:39 am#210107GeneBalthropParticipantNick….I agree with you GOD indwelling man is an extraordinary privilege, I also believe GOD finds His rest in us to when we put our Wills to death, and we find our rest in Him. In fact God may find rest in all His creation and all creation will find rest in Him. Just an opinion thats all.
peace to you and yours………..gene
