Christians, The Bible says that the person is made up of three things,?

Question

The physical body, the spirit, and the soul.

Why then do we allow our fellow believers to state falsely that the Body is merely a shell/receptical of a person, and not part of their essence?

In the Christian community, there is such a thing as correcting bad doctrine, and the aforementioned doctrine of the Body merely being a shell is an example of bad/false doctrine.

Answer 1

Good question - Good answer -
1 Corinthians 6:19-20 What? know ye not that your body is the temple of the Holy Ghost which is in you, which ye have of God, and ye are not your own? (20) For ye are bought with a price: therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are God's.
Glorify God in your body -
Seems to me some folks think that what you do to, with and in your body doesn't matter - Not true
1 Thessalonians 5:23 And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly; and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and body be preserved blameless unto the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Blameless is the aim -
Maybe that is the problem - We don't like taking responsibility for ourselves - Don't blame me; I didn't do anything wrong.

Answer 2

Let me assure you my friend, You can keep busy 24 hours a day correcting bad/false doctrine in here.

I guess it could be a shell that holds your spirit and soul. This shell you will use for enternity, they better get use to it.

hahahahahha

that body WILL rise from the grave just like Jesus did.

woooo hoooooooooooo

Answer 3

First, 1 Cor 10:23-24

Second, we are not responsible for what people believe. We are responsible for spreading the Christian message. This is quite clear in the Gospel of John. Just do a word study on belief, believe, believer, and nonbeliever.

Third, man is body, soul, and spirit. When he/she dies, what part dies? Please quote the book and verse. When you can answer that, you can put into context what your fellows Christians are talking about.

Answer 4

Our Creator is recorded in the Bible as tripartite(3 in 1)Father-Son-Holy Spirit. He declares we are made in His image which indicates 3 dimensions to our life.The body makes me earth-conscious, The soul makes me self-conscious, The spirit makes me God-conscious. We are individually unique and while the body degenerates(wastes), it must be renewed and if dead reunited with my perfected personality at the second coming of the Lord Jesus Christ.Pursuing Truth is a must for all.

Answer 5

The dust from the ground = the body. The breath of life- which God breathed into our nostrils= the life giving character forming spirit. And the combination of both the breath of God and our earthly bodies= A LIVING SOUL!

Gen 2:7 And the Lord God made man from the dust of the earth, breathing into him the breath of life: and man became a living soul.

Answer 6

By being the 'shell' for the soul, it allows the Body into essence. See, that is it's purpose and once it is fufilled (meaning after you physically die), the Body is no more but an essence, not a being. I don't know if this makes sense to anyone, but it makes sense to me. :)

~*cheers*~

Answer 7

Being alive, you are right. Death is the other dimension, a state where the body of a person is irrelevant to its being. Some things
that we read about in the Holy Bible.

Answer 8

I've answered you before, I think.

The body is you. Love it. See to it that it is loved. Burn your "New Testament" in the heat of what your body can generate.

Live.

Answer 9

Allow? You are not in charge of them, they can speak and think for themselves. They just hold different beliefs then you.

saying, Fear not: believe only, and she shall be made whole.
Luke 8:52 And all wept, and bewailed her: but he said,
Weep not; she is not dead, but sleepeth. Luke 8:54 And he put
them all out, and took her by the hand, and called, saying,
Maid, arise. Luke 8:55 And her spirit came again,
and she arose straightway: and he commanded to give her meat.
REAL RESURRECTION: 1Cor.15:22 For as in Adam all die,
even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
SPIRIT: Num.16:22 And they fell upon their faces, and said,
O God, the God of the spirits of all flesh, shall one man sin,
and wilt thou be wroth with all the congregation.
Isa.42:5 Thus saith God the LORD, he that created the heavens,
and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth,
and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath
unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:
SPIRIT RETURNS TO GOD:
Eccl.12:7 Then shall the dust return to the earth as
it was: and the spirit shall return unto God who gave it.
SPIRIT RETURNS TO RESURRECT THE DEAD:
Psm.104:29 Thou hidest thy face, they are troubled:
thou takest away their breath,
they die, and return to their dust.
Psm.104:30 Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created:
and thou renewest the face of the earth.
DEATH: Psm.49:14 Like sheep they are laid in the grave;
death shall feed on them; and the upright shall have
dominion over them in the morning; and their beauty
shall consume in the grave from their dwelling.
DEATH: Psm.146:3 Put not yourtrust in princes,
nor in the son of man,in whom there is no help.
Psm.146:4 His breath goeth forth, he returneth
to his earth; in that very day his thoughts perish.

which made heaven and earth. Psm.115:16 The

neither any that go down into silence.
EARLY ON EARTH RESURRECTION:
Acts 2:31 He seeing this before spake of the
resurrection of Christ, that his soul was not
left in hell, neither his flesh did see corruption.
Matt.27:52 And the graves were opened; and many
bodies of the saints which slept arose, Matt.27:53;
And came out of the graves after his [Jesus],
resurrection, and went into the holy city, and
appeared unto many.
EARLY HEAVENS RESURRECTION:
Rev.6:9 And when he had opened the fifth seal,
I saw under the altar the souls of them that
were slain for the word of God, and for the
testimony which they held:
Rev.6:10 And they cried with a loud voice,
saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true,
dost thou not judge and avenge our blood
on them that dwell on the earth?
Rev.6:11 And white robes were given unto every one of them;
and it was said unto them, that they should rest yet for
a little season, until their fellowservants also and their
brethren, that should be killed as they were, should be
fulfilled. John 6:39,40,44[raised up at last day];
1Thes.4:15-17; Rev.1:7; Acts 1:9-11; Jesus coming.
SOULS:
Souls are created as Adam and Eve.
Souls are now born in sin because of these.
Souls are resurrected to salavations and made free.

in the grave who shall give thee thanks?
Psalms 7:2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces,
while there is none to deliver.
