People translate it any way they want, it seems.   But the Bible says Man has both.    Yes. I know you do. I see man as being both.   And you CAN separate flesh and spirit.  They separate at death.    That's what you believe. I do not.   What part of YOU goes on to be with the Lord upon your death?    I am taken to the Resurrection when Messiah comes to retrieve those whom are His.   Is it not your spirit (which I have a hard time telling apart from “soul”, actually) which is the real you, which currently inhabits your fleshly body?    Both are me.   But while we are alive on the earth we have no need to separate ourselves into 3 parts, as we all function as one. It does make me think of how we describe God in the Trinity, I must admit.    I understand where you're coming from and I do not deny that the concept of the Trinity is a good way to explain God's manifestation (my word to describe what is indescribable) so don't kill me over it (this last phrase was for Judy's benefit... well, my benefit, actually, because I don't want to be clobbered for not using a KJV word).   I don’t understand why discussing this with Judy makes you angry. I am puzzled about that.    I never said I was angry with Judy. I said some things were futile.    Tell me, how is God omnipotent? How can He be everywhere all of the time?  Does he not inhabit His creation much as we inhabit our earthly bodies?  If you cut open your brain, would you find Slade in there?    If you split open an acorn, is God there?   Then where is Slade dwelling if you can’t find him?  He is in the entirety of his body, is he not? Nothing can happen to your body that does not affect you, and that you are not aware of.  Is God not like that in His universe?    My point exactly!! You DO understand... oops, then you said the following.....   He is Spirit, just as we are, I think.    You lost me again.    Izzy    Have I told you I love you lately?   -- slade
