Most people have the idea that man is a body and a soul. We are more than that; we also have a spirit.The Bible says we are created in three parts: spirit, soul, and body. We have to understand what this means if we are going to understand what the coming spiritual body will be. Spiritual body does not mean ethereal; it means a body dominated by the spirit.

MAN IS A TRINITY – MADE IN THE IMAGE OF GOD This is recognized in Psychology as Id, Ego, and Super-ego. ( Freudian ) or Parent, Adult, Child. ( Transactional ) Psychologists who have studied human nature recognize these three facets of our whole being.
Genesis 1 :26 Then God said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness;
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.

This scripture can be illustrated by a light bulb. When the electricity comes in contact with the filament, the result is light. When the spirit comes in contact with the body, the soul is the result.
1 Thessalonians 5: 23 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. ( Note the polysyndeton: the repeated use of “and” to distinguish each individual part. )
Hebrews 4:12 For the word of God [is] living and powerful, and sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing even to the division of soul and spirit, and of joints and marrow, and is a discerner of the thoughts and intents of the heart.
With the Word of God and practice, you can actually discern the difference between your spirit, soul, and body.
( SOMA ) BODY, INCLUDING BRAIN – WORLD AWARENESS ( PSYCHE ) – SOUL, OUR MIND – SELF AWARENESS ( PNEUMA ) SPIRIT - GOD AWARENESS BODY ( SOMA ) WORLD CONSCIOUSNESS With our five sense we are aware of the physical world around us. It is called our flesh with all of its desires.
We live in our body but we are more than just our body. The body is like a house for our soul. It is called a tent (tabernacle, temple) in the Bible.
1 Corinthians 3:16 Do you not know that you are the temple of God and that the Spirit of God dwells in you?
John 1:14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt ( tabernacled ) among us…
2 Corinthians 5:1&4 For we know that if our earthly house, [this] tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens…For we who are in [this] tent groan, being burdened, not because we want to be unclothed, but further clothed, that mortality may be swallowed up by life.
2 Peter 1:13&14 Yes, I think it is right, as long as I am in this tent, to stir you up by reminding [you], knowing that shortly I [must] put off my tent, just as our Lord Jesus Christ showed me.

Our brain is a part of our body. Theoretically, if all our body parts were removed, and somehow our brain was kept alive, we wouldThe bra still be conscious but we would have lost part what makes us what we are. The brain is not the same thing as the mind. Our brain is like a computer that we use to store and retrieve information. It is different because the computer is not really a part of us. We do not think through the computer. Our brain determines our paradigm based on the schemas we have formed in it. Proverbs 4:23 “Guard your heart ( the schema ) above all else, for it determines the course of your life.” ( This will be the subject of a future article )
SOUL ( PSYCHE ) SELF CONSCIOUSNESS http://mikeblume.com/doorway2.jpg
The word “psychology” comes from this Greek word for soul. We are our soul. People are called souls in many parts of the Bible.
Acts 2:41 Then those who gladly received his word were baptized; and that day about three thousand souls were added to them.
Your soul is the real you; the you that no one has ever seen. People do not see the inward thoughts, emotions, desires that are going on in your soul. You can communicate what is going on with your words, inflection, demeanor, etc, but they cannot see this part of you.
I believe this gives insight into how Jesus could be God and man.
John 1:18 No one has seen God at any time. The only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, He has declared ( communicated, exegeted ) Him.
John 14:9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?

The soul is the seat of the mind, will, and emotions.It is the medium between the body and the spirit.
The soul is where we have free will. It is where decisions are made.Since the soul is the seat of the will it becomes the battle ground of a war between the flesh and the spirit.
Galatians 5:16&17 I say then: Walk in the Spirit, and you shall not fulfill the lust of the flesh. For the flesh lusts against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh; and these are contrary to one another, so that you do not do the things that you wish.
We are engaged in a battle for the mind or soul. ( psyche ) Our mind or soul must undergo a transformation to understand God’s purpose and plans revealed in the Bible. Romans 12:2 And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind ( soul ), that you may prove what [is] that good and acceptable and perfect will of God.
Satan controls the minds of the unsaved.
2 Corinthians 4: 3&4 But even if our gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are perishing, whose minds the god of this age has blinded, who do not believe, lest the light of the gospel of the glory of Christ, who is the image of God, should shine on them.
Ephesians 2:2 … you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience…
The word “world” in the above passage is “aion”. It means all the floating mass of thoughts, opinions, maxims, impulses at any time current in the system of the world controlled by Satan, which constitute a most real and effective power in the moral atmosphere in which we live.
The “thought” portal, the paradigm, or the world view that has been the influence of Satan’s system must be destroyed and rebuilt according to the new influence of the Holy Spirit on our mind. This can only be accomplished through the Word of God.
2 Corinthians 10:4&5 For the weapons of our warfare [are] not carnal but mighty in God for pulling down strongholds, casting down arguments and every high thing that exalts itself against the knowledge of God, bringing every thought into captivity to the obedience of Christ,
This process is hindered by sin in our life. James 1:21 Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you.
1 Corinthians 2:14 The person without the Spirit does not accept the things that come from the Spirit of God but considers them foolishness, and cannot understand them because they are discerned only through the Spirit.

SPIRIT ( PNEUMA ) GOD CONSCIOUSNESS
The spirit is the part of us that is aware of God.
All people are born with an intuitive knowledge of God.
Romans 1:19 DBY Because what is known of God is manifest among them, for God has manifested [it] to them,
The spirit is the seat of the conscience. Proverbs 20:27 The LORD’s light penetrates the human spirit, exposing every hidden motive.
This is the basis of all moral law. Romans 2:14&15 Even Gentiles, who do not have God’s written law, show that they know his law when they instinctively obey it, even without having heard it. They show that the requirements of the law are written on their hearts, their consciences also bearing witness, and their thoughts sometimes accusing them and at other times even defending them.)
The spirit is what died when Adam sinned. Death always means separation in the Bible. At physical death our spirit is separated from our body, and spiritual death means the spirit of man is separated from God.
The spirit is made alive at the new birth.
Ephesians 2:1 And you He made alive, who were dead in trespasses and sins,
God himself comes into our spirit and begins to live in us.
John 14: 23 Jesus replied, “Anyone who loves me will obey my teaching. My Father will love them, and we will come to them and make our home with them…
The first thing that happens when our spirit is made alive is we have a new awareness of God. Proverbs 1:7 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge…

We are dominated by our soul and body now. Even when we are born anew we still have to battle these carnal forces. Galatians 5
When we receive our new bodies, we will no longer be dominated by our soul and body, but our spirit will be fully in tune with God and we will be dominated by our spirit. This is why it is called a spiritual body.
1 Corinthians 15:44 It is sown a natural (psyche) body, it is raised a spiritual (pneuma) body.
