3. “Soul” and “Spirit” Introduction… A. Trichotomy (1 Thes. 5:23; Heb. 4:12) 1. Body 2. Soul – intellect, emotions, will 3. Spirit – a higher faculty that comes alive when a person becomes a Christian – Rom. 8:10 B. Dichotomy 1. Body 2. “Spirit” is not a separate part, but simply another term for “soul” 3. Both terms are used interchangeably to refer to our immaterial part – this is the part that lives on after our body dies C. Monism 1. Body – a human is only one element and the body is the person 2. Humans cannot exist apart from a physical body; no separate existence for any “soul” after the body dies; the terms “soul” and “spirit” are just other terms for the “person”

The woman who is unmarried, and the virgin, is concerned about the things of the Lord, that she may be holy both in body and spirit; but one who is married is concerned about the things of the world, how she may please her husband.  Dan. 5:20 – But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit became so proud that he behaved arrogantly, he was deposed from his royal throne and his glory was taken away from him.  1 Pet. 1:22 – Since you have in obedience to the truth purified your souls for a sincere love of the brethren, fervently love one another from the heart,
