As pointed out in Chapter Four, when Scripture talks about departure of the spirit or soul, we see that the essence of our being stays with the body. Examples given were:
Genesis 35:18 says, "her soul...
Often 'soul ' in Scripture I find stands for one's life.
Adam was Not a living soul before God breathed the breath of life into lifeless Adam - Genesis 2:7

I certainly don't think there will sin in heaven since sin cannot dwell in God's presence. I believe that the sanctification process ( to be made holy) takes a lifetime for a good reason...it causes us to be dependent and live in a close relationship with our beloved Savior. God will certainly...
Do you understand God's Salvation? Are you absolutely sure of your salvation? Do you know what a clear gospel message is for today? Do you know what are the key essentials for a clear gospel message? Why are there so many ways of salvation present today? Have you ever been confused on which is...

30 Jesus does make these statements. He does not see himself as having a separate identity from the Father which is basically what the Doctrine of the Trinity suggests.

Distinct. Not separate
