We have all of these terms: heart, might, mind, strength, body, soul. What do you believe happens to the mind when the spirit and the body are separated at death? What about the heart?
It seems to me that spirit and body constitute soul. A soul (it seems to me) must have a heart and a mind. “Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment.“ “Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is One. And you shall love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength.” “We have the mind of Christ” (1 Corinthians 2:16b).
We are a spirit we have a soul and we live in a body. Soul is the mind, will and emotions.
1 Thessalonians 5:23 KJV
“And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; And I pray God your whole spirit, soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
When your spirit is separated from your body at physical death, you must believe that the soul of the believer in Messiah Yahshua / Christ Jesus stays alive in Christ. Therefore, your mind and your volition (will) and your emotions stay intact. Is this your belief?
What about the damned (in your opinion)? Their minds and emotions and wills are tormented in hell? For all eternity?
The soul is a person as much as the body is. In fact, it is the "life" in the body whereby we are manifested as a living person with a mind, will and emotion. In Luke 16 we read of the Rich Man and Lazarus the Beggar. Notice they looked exactly like the person they were in the flesh. But in hell, the Rich Man was tormented in fire and Lazarus was comforted. Notice the Rich Man asked for a drop of water from Lazarus to cool his tongue? This goes to show that it is not just his mind and emotion that were being tormented. The whole soul (as a person) was suffering in hell fire, like what we would have felt in the flesh, if we were being burned alive. However, in hell where the "worm" (soul) dieth not and the fire is not quenched, the Rich Man could not die a bodily death like how we would normally die if we were burned alive. The pain from the burning continues on and on for eternity.
Amen, praise the LORD, this is awesome brother and so are you, God bless you ❤️🙏. Ive believed for years that when our body dies our spirit and soul goes to be with the LORD and not lie in the grave waiting for the resurrection day, that is when we will get our new bodies. But many people preach and teach the opposite, had one teaching awhile back that we lay in the grave and wait and I quoted to be absent from the body is to be present with the LORD and he blocked me for it 😂. Oh well like you said false doctrine divides. God bless you ❤️
If it is truth, we will find that in the bible. If it is heresy, we will find many people teaching it without demonstrating solid evidence from the bible. People who teach heresy like to use half-truths to justify their doctrines. Just like what Peter tells us:
2 Peter 3:16 "As also in all his epistles, speaking in them of these things; in which are some things hard to be understood, which they that are unlearned and unstable wrest, as they do also the other scriptures, unto their own destruction."
They will wrest scriptures to their own destruction. While they may have made a name for themselves in some cases, people such as John N Darby and CI Scofield, thats all the reward they will get in their "little time" on earth. For the causing of much bloodshed through their false doctrines, they will pay the ultimate price with the rest of their eternity.
