Our Body is our Soul and our Soul is our Body.

[angels4u]

After we lived the years God plans for us to live in our body we will not need our body anymore therefore the soul and spirit will go back to God (if you are born again) and the body will go back to the earth,just like a egg when we eat what's inside we throw the shell away,our body is just a temperary home(the shell)

 

As long as we are living in our body we can choose where our destination will be.......

The human soul is the part of a person that is not physical.It is the part of every human being that lasts eternally after the body experiences death.It has been said that there are only two things that last:the word of God Mark 13:31 and the souls of men.

Every person you meet is an eternal soul.Every human being that has ever lived has had a soul,and all of those souls are still in existence somewhere.The question is,where?The souls that reject God's love are condemned to pay for their own sin,eternally,in hell Romans 6:23.

But the souls that accept their own sinfullness and God's gracious gift of forgiveness will live forever beside still waters with their Shepherd,wanting for nothing Psalm 23:2.

This is a present truth to me.

I speek of them as the Mind the Body and The Spriti, the body being temporary and the mind the only part which can learn.

Every living thing has a soul and spirit. The soul is that which feels and the spirit is that which knows. Animals have both feelings and knowledge although somewhat limited and on a much lower scale than that of man. Animals were not created in the likeness of God as men are. They are a lower type of life and they have souls and spirits in the sense of feelings, emotions, appetites, desires, passions, and a low form of knowledge, as can be seen in may Scriptures. If there are horses in Heaven as the Scriptures teach then there must be all kinds of animals there for Heaven is called a better place, and therefore it is sure to be as good as the Earth (Hebrews 11:10-16).

Scriptures teach that there is a difference between the natural spirit of man and the spirit of beasts (Eccl. 3:21); that there is a difference between "breath" and "spirit" (Job 34:15; Ps. 19:7; Luke 12:19; 1 Cor. 5:5; 2 Cor. 7:1) ; and that each creature has a separate spirit which is not a part of God (Num. 16:22; 27:17; Eccl. 3:21 ; Ezek. 21:7; Dan. 2:1-3; Mal. 2:15-16; Prov. 16:2; 1 Cor. 2:10-12; 14:32; Heb. 12:9, 23; 1 Thess. 5:23).

Eccl. 3:21 states this; "Who knoweth the spirit of man that goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that goeth downward to the earth?"

This suggests to me that animals which are on the Earth, not those in Heaven, that die on the Earth, their spirit remains or returns to the earth.

Soul means the animating principle. The soul gives form to our body. The soul is what builds material substance into the shape of the body, and what makes the material substance of the body "alive". The higher functions of the soul, i.e. abstract thought, intellect, are called "spirit" as they do not deal with maintaining the body (building and animating).

Man's body was formed from the dust of the earth before he became a living soul.

Man did not become a living soul until God breathed into Him life.    Man's body was completely formed before that happened.

I find no scriptural support for your pov.

Biblical support. 

 

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.

 

2 Corinthians 5:

1For we know that if our earthly house of this tabernacle were dissolved, we have a building of God, an house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed upon with our house which is from heaven: 3If so be that being clothed we shall not be found naked. 4For we that are in this tabernacle do groan, being burdened: not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up of life. 5Now he that hath wrought us for the selfsame thing is God, who also hath given unto us the earnest of the Spirit.

6Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord: 7(For we walk by faith, not by sight:) 8We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord. 9Wherefore we labour, that, whether present or absent, we may be accepted of him. 10For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ; that every one may receive the things done in his body, according to that he hath done, whether it be good or bad.

Mankind is a Spirit, Greek, "Pneuma", who has a soul, "Psuche" and lives in a body, "Soma". 1 Thess 5: 23.

The soul is our "Will mind and emotions".

Jesus is our example, His Spirit was commended to God, Lk 23: 46.  His souls went to hell, [Hades], Acts 2: 27, &v 31. and His body was in a tomb, "Mnemeion".

With our spirit, we contact the spirit realm, with our soul we contact the mental realm and with our bodies we contact the physical realm.

The word divides between spirit and soul, or the masculine and the feminine, and by this I mean the whole word of the Bible, even as it is the one word that the Bible declares. For instance how Jesus likens the kingdom to things a man or a woman do (among the other things that he likened it to but all of them falling within the confines of these two in respect to how it plays out in us).

 

This can be seen in the case with Job who gets new children but not a new wife (and the symbolism found in the gender and numbers of children), which is found in Jesus words over Jerusalem as a mother and her children, which was a picture of the earthly where the Lord was crucified. If we lose our soul, or our land becomes desolate, or even in another way, becomes to us the habitation of everything that is foul, we keep it. The heavenly Jerusalem is not revealed until the earthly becomes desolate, lose your soul, gain it. Same soul, different perception or children. Desolation brings truth to us, just as the picture Jesus as an end of sin laid out for us by pouring his soul out on a cross, or tree, which symbolism goes back to the first garden where the lamb was slain from the foundation of the world (not the earth), this slaying of the truth being by our own reasoning, of our own tree, which in picture is the tree of knowledge, and in the day (which Adam never made it out of the sixth day falling seventy years short), we eat of our own (not the lords day, which is rest from the labor).

 

Though the symbolism of these things have no end to them, the relationship our soul plays in this process of time of the scattering and the gathering again unto one, brings to us the true image, even as it previously gendered to bondage from an image that was a lie. This in one form is laid out in the two sons as a truth that is happening in us based on the words heaven and earth (first the natural), where the pattern began.

 

The Bible is cohesive, one narrative speaking of one son, and this in relationship to this one truth being revealed in us, as it was in Jesus. God started with one, and narrowed it back to one, and now we each are partakers of this one, as individuals and as the sum of the whole, revealing one God, one Father ,and one son, but all this comes to us in the form of the perception given to us by our soul.

 

In scripture our soul and the process of our reasoning are depicted as a mountain, a valley, a city, a tower, a harlot, a virgin, a bride, a wife (both faithful and unfaithful), a field, a wilderness, a land, a tree, etc. which give us its meaning in the context of the whole of the scripture as it does in the one verse and to which one cannot be defined without the other, as this also applies to every individual and the sum of the whole of us.

 

The Bible defines language of God which is seen all around us, and how it relates to the one truth that he created all things by, and both by whom and how he gathers all things back into where they came out of. The first helpmeet was the woman who in picture is our soul, which revealed our nakedness. The second helpmeet is masculine, or when he is come he will guide you into all truth.

This is both confusing and rambling and wanders too far in the direction of philosophical and eastern confusion .
