QUESTIONS
1. The three functions of the soul are:
the intellect, emotion and will.
2. In Psalm 103:1 David says
“Bless the Lord, O my soul;”
3. As long as we remain in submission to
God, our soul remains in submission to
our spirit, and we will function in
harmony with God and with others.
4. Our natural bodies and our
resurrected bodies will be the same.
FALSE
5. What are the three references we
used from the New Testament that
explains clearly the opposition or
tension between the spiritual and the
soulish, the natural and the carnal?
1 Cor 2:14-15; Jude 16,19; James 3:15
6. In James 3:15, James describes a
downward slide in 3 successive stages;
from the earthly,
to the soulish,
to the demonic.
7. Memorize on your own 1 Cor 15:19
8. What two ways can a line be drawn
between the spiritual and the soulish
(the flesh)?
By feeding regularly on God’s Word
and by practicing regularly
spiritual discernment.
Scriptures
1 Thessalonians 5:23
23 Now
may the God of peace
Himself sanctify you completely; and
may your whole spirit, soul, and
body be preserved blameless at the
coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Psalm 103:1
Bless the LORD, O my soul;
And all that is within me, bless His
holy name!
1 Corinthians 15:44-45
44 It
is sown a natural body, it is
raised a spiritual body. There is a
natural body, and there is a spiritual
body. 45 And so it is written, “The
first man Adam became a living
being.” The last Adam became a lifegiving spirit.
1 Corinthians 15:46
46 However,
the spiritual is not first,
but the natural, and afterward the
spiritual.
Ezekiel 1:12
12 And
each one went straight
forward; they went wherever the
spirit wanted to go, and they did not
turn when they went.
Ezekiel 1:20
20 Wherever
the spirit wanted to go,
they went, because there the spirit
went; and the wheels were lifted
together with them, for the spirit of
the living creatures was in the
wheels.
1 Corinthians 2:14-15
14 But
the natural man does not receive
the things of the Spirit of God, for they
are foolishness to him; nor can he know
them, because they are spiritually
discerned. 15 But he who is spiritual
judges all things, yet he himself is rightly
judged by no one.
Jude 16
16 These
are grumblers, complainers,
walking according to their own lusts;
and they mouth great swelling words,
flattering people to gain advantage.
Jude 19
19 These
are sensual persons, who cause
divisions, not having the Spirit.
James 3:15
15 This
wisdom does not descend from
above, but is earthly, sensual, demonic.
1 Corinthians 15:19
19 If
in this life only we have hope in
Christ, we are of all men the most
pitiable.
1 Timothy 6:5
5 useless
wranglings of men of corrupt
minds and destitute of the truth, who
suppose that godliness is a means of
gain. From such withdraw yourself.
Hebrews 4:12
12 For
the word of God is living and
powerful, and sharper than any twoedged sword, piercing even to the
division of soul and spirit, and of joints
and marrow, and is a discerner of the
thoughts and intents of the heart.
Hebrews 5:14
14 But
solid food belongs to those who
are of full age, that is, those who by
reason of use have their senses
exercised to discern both good and evil.
1 Corinthians 16:13-15
13 Watch,
stand fast in the faith, be brave, be
strong. 14 Let all that you do be done with love.
15 I
urge you, brethren—you know the
household of Stephanas, that it is the firstfruits
of Achaia, and that they have devoted
themselves to the ministry of the saints—
