As promised I will address what is spirit:
Mans spirit is his word, it is his communicator. It resides in the heart and in the mind, (Matthew 12:33). Jesus said the words I speak are spirit, (John 6:63).
Coupled with faith, your spirit can do things, (Mk11:23). Spirit is always speaking...
1Thessalonians5:23
23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The Soul is Greater than the Flesh/Body and the Spirit is Greater than the Soul.
Elohim's/God's Ladder...
Yes .. we have more in common than we have differences.
We both believe in Almighty God.
I was raised as a Christian, and a 'choir boy' in my youth. :)
I discovered Islam in my early 20's, and by the grace of God am still a believer.
May we both die as believers. Amen.
While I believe the soul is from God and created by God, I don’t think the soul of each person is the indwelling of God. The scriptures show various conditions of the human soul, as well as, at what point the Spirit of God enters to take up residence in someone.
But as many as received Him...
I am still not sure what you mean by materiality. When I think of materiality I think of something physical.
How can our spirit be made of something physical?
You mean the new body will be body, soul and spirit and the physical body we have now is only body and soul?
That makes sense to me...
The components of our body has a different materiality than our spirit
Is part of who we are. Without it we wouldn’t be here and when we receive our new body, that isn’t cursed, we will be a triune being agaion
Yes!!
Yes… we probably will believe differently. Jesus has a body, it is a...
Between individuals with equivalent knowledge, experience and expertise, sure.
But other than personal bias, how would a person come to the best conclusion in your scenario?
By this view, opting to have me perform your necessary brain surgery while wondering why I started my first incision on...
Happens all the time. That is why we have “different theories” among scientists
It would depend on what one is talking about.
And yet, people go to two different doctors because one wants a second opinion, and you get a different opinion. I think my example is more appropriate than your...
I can see that you are struggling with what scriptures says and what you are being taught by the trinitarian church. Yes, it doesn’t make sense to you, does it???
A Person is Flesh and Blood body with an animating Spirit within it. The Spirit is the decision maker, the ‘thinker’, the...
Like I said, I don't want to go to items not on the list and confuscate what we are talking about.
We can agree on the above.
1Thessalonians5:23 NASB 23 Now (may the God of peace Himself sanctify you entirely; and may your spirit and soul and body be kept complete, (D)without blame at...
What you seem to be calling your spirit, I include within what I call soul just because I don’t see the value in the distinction. I affirm the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit (spirit of truth), but I don’t see the value in believing in the trinity. To me, it’s an unnecessary purity test that...
Human beings are created in the image of the triune God; so body, soul, spirit.
Now may the God of peace Himself sanctify you completely; and may your whole spirit, soul, and body be preserved blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. 1Thessalonians5:23
For the word of God is living...
Thank you, Brickjectivity. Also, in a conversation with @Ehav4Ever in post #259 in another thread, he made the point that:
But it's interesting that I came across an article that said:

Science confirms the Bible in that we have a soul:
The Roots of Psychology
The word psychology was formed by combining the Greek psychē (meaning “breath, principle of life, life, soul,”) with –logia (which comes from the Greek logos, meaning “speech, word, reason”). An early use appears in...
It is quite understandable to have it challenging one's thought process.
The easiest way, IMO, to view this is to look at the makeup of man which is made in His image and in His likeness as I quote the synthesis of it as expressed by Paul:
1Thessalonians5:23 And the very God of peace...
" 1Thessalonians5:23 , Hebrews 4:12 , Revelation 6:9-11, Revelation 8:3 , Revelation 20:4 "
The above verses " 1Thessalonians5:23 , Hebrews 4:12 , Revelation 6:9-11, Revelation 8:3 , Revelation 20:4 " have not been colored in red in the following Red Letter Bibles:

The original-language terms (Heb., neʹphesh, Gr., psy·kheʹ) as used in the Scriptures show “soul” to be a person, an animal, or the life that a person or an animal enjoys. It can even refer to a person’s future life (after the promised future Resurrection), as in how the word is referenced at...
