The Soul Of Man (el. knyga) (skaityta knyga) | C Orville McLeish | knygos.lt

Aprašymas

The triune nature of man (spirit, soul, body), created in God's image and likeness, is one of the greatest mysteries of all time. There have been significant medical and scientific discoveries related to the body of man. Yet, no expert will claim he or she has even begun to understand its makeup and functionality. How much more is understanding man's spirit and soul, which extends beyond physicality, all the way back to eternity.

This book, by no means, seeks to present arguments from a position of authority and know-it-all. It is written to help initiate a conversation on a vital and essential aspect of a man's being: the soul.

The first mention of the soul is in Genesis: 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. (Genesis 2:7).

The law of first mention in the Biblical Interpretation process demands that some attention be given to the soul of man. The KJV translation reveals the word "soul" is mentioned 498 times. The suggestion here is that humanity should have always paid attention to the idea of man as a "living soul" and not just a body. While I believe in the value of the body, because God made it, I believe the soul carries equal significance because Jesus came to save our souls.

Creation is groaning for the fully matured son. While it is good that one person achieves transcendence and manifest as a son of God, there is a greater call for the body of Christ to grow up into the head (who is Christ). This growth has to do with the soul of man that became a new creation with the born again salvation experience.

Let's talk about man as a living soul, and may this conversation reverberate throughout the earth as there is a call for believers to come into maturity as sons of God.
