Could you provide Scriptural proof texts that tell us our soul is our mind?



IF you read my Thread, or any of my posts to you, i keep telling you that the soul, is the "mind, will, and emotions"..

See, man it Tri-part.....He is 3

Body
Soul
Spirit

You are a Spirit
You have a soul
You live in a body

You do need to hear the Word (Gospel) to receive faith to believe.

We dont receive faith to believe.

Its like this... "FAITH comes......by hearing the word of God"... = The Gospel of our Salvation.

So @rwb , take your false John Calvinism, and put it away forever....., as that Devil was a Cross denying Heretic.

You have me confused with @1stCenturyLady , as she teaches that theologically twisted nonsense.

I dont teach that the mind is the soul.

You are a Spirit
You have a soul
You live in a body
I don't either.

You do need to hear the Word (Gospel) to receive faith to believe. Even the devils believe in God. And their faith (believing) leaves them trembling.

Romans 10:17 (KJV) So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.

James 2:19 (KJV) Thou believest that there is one God; thou doest well: the devils also believe, and tremble.
Of course we need to hear the word of God...it comes through the testifying with our spirit....it’s called the rebirth/ Born Again/ Born of God.

You don’t need to read a Bible to be birthed in the Spirit.

@rwb is right according to Scripture. Romans 10:17 Faith comes from HEARING and hearing by the WORD OF GOD. This doesn't prove Calvinism. Before you teach, know the Scriptures.

No, as I've shown believing anything is naturally possible. But faith to believe in Christ comes supernaturally when we hear the Gospel according to grace through faith, and the power of the Holy Spirit. Before this ability to believe comes to natural man supernaturally, he/she is "dead in trespasses and sins", thereby being unable to respond with faith that eternally, spiritually saves us. This comes not from Calvin, but from the Word of God.

Just for giggles, are you a Calvinist? I'm not; I just know the Scriptures and am on your side regarding Romans 10:17. What the mean guy should know is that Calvinists believe they are filled with the Spirit, actually saved, BEFORE they can believe in Christ - pure heresy.

I know what you've said. And I keep telling you that we are not tri-part beings as God is. We are body with spirit and together the TWO are living souls. You continue to argue that living souls are spirit within our flesh, but God says we are created with body + spirit (breath of life) and together became living souls. God does not say He created us with body + spirit +soul, but that He made us to be living souls possessing both body and spirit.

Once again, wrong.

No one has faith in Christ, until they hear about Christ as "The Gospel".

Its not surprising that you dont understand this at all. @1stCenturyLady

So, as you also know nothing about Calvinism, let me help you.
John Calvinism, as some teach it.. .is, that God forces you to believe, and your free will, is not a part of that...
