vp,n< soul,
soul-life, self-consciousness. Man’s Soul is the means by which he has self-consciousness,
self-awareness, relationship with self. Second, it is the medium between the
spirit and the body. Third, it is what man becomes and manifests through his
physical body in personality, vocation, and lifestyle as a result of, one,
heart response to what he has learned through his mind body, conscience, and
emotions; two, through what he has received from God through his spirit; and
three, as a result of those abilities and talents God has chosen to give him
individually.The whole view of the Bible is that the life of man is his soul
and that the soul itself is man himself. The two passages in the Bible Matthew
16:26 and Luke 9:25 makes this plain. Watchman Nee, in his book The
Spiritual Man, comments concerning these two passages: "This
signifies that the Holy Spirit is using Matthew to explain the meaning of ‘himself’
in Luke and Luke the meaning of ‘soul’ in Matthew. Man’s soul is the man
himself, and vice versa."48/41 The soul is the essence of man
himself, the medium between his spirit and body. The spirit has no access to
the body except through the soul and then only with the soul’s initiated
cooperation. In the same way, the body has no access to the spirit. Man’s
soul is also the means by which man carries out God’s will and plan for his
life. Jesus reveals his will for our lives though our spirits. The soul then
decides whether it will carry it out through the body or not. The Old
Testament identifies man’s soul with his blood: "Only flesh1320
with its soul5315c,
its blood1818a,
you shall not eat" (Genesis 9:4, Leviticus 17:11-14). Blood flowing
through man’s veins represents that he is physically alive. As long as we
are physically alive and the blood is flowing, the potential of the full
development of our souls, as Jesus intended, has the potential of being
realized. But if murdered or our blood is shed (Gen 9:4-6) the potential of
what we could have become and accomplished in Christ is destroyed. Jesus shed
his blood, gave up his earthly soul-life, so that our souls might be saved.
Sin takes place in the soul. Watchman Nee writes, "We should carefully
note that the soul is where man expresses his free will and exerts his own
mastery. The Bible therefore often records that it is the soul which sins. For
example, Micah 6:7 says, ‘the sin of my soul.’ Ezekiel 18:4, 20 reads, ‘the
soul that sins.’ And in the books of Leviticus and Numbers mention
frequently is made that the soul sins. Why? Because it is the soul which
chooses to sin."48/48-49 Because it is the soul that sins,
therefore it is the soul that needs to be atoned for. Moses wrote, "You
give the heave-offering of Yehovah to make atonement for your souls"
(Exodus 30:15). "For the soul of the flesh is in the blood;
and I have given it to you upon the altar to make atonement for your souls, for
it is the blood that makes atonement for the soul" (See also
Numbers 31:50). Isaiah 53:10-12 tells us that Jesus poured out His Soul, shed
His blood, to redeem our souls. Sin also destroys the potential of the soul.
This is why the writer of Proverbs states "He who commits adultery with a
woman is lacking heart; he who would destroy his soul does it." (Prov
6:32). It takes discipline and self-control over one’s emotions and lusts to
develop his soul-potential. Sin weakens the will (Heart) resulting in lack of
discipline and self-control and thus frustrating the soul-potential or
destroying it all together. Jesus, in talking about the soul, said, "If
anyone wishes to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross,
and follow Me. For whoever wishes to save his soul shall lose it; but whoever
loses his soul for My sake shall find it. For what will a man be profited, if
he gains the whole world, and forfeits his soul? Or what will a man give in
exchange for his soul? For the Son of Man is going to come in the glory of His
Father with His angels; and will then recompense every man according to his
doing" (Matt 16:24-27). Jesus explains clearly that our soul is developed
through surrender of our lives and will to His will. To pursue our own course
according to our own will leads to ultimate destruction of our soul; that is,
destroys the potential of what Jesus intended. Jesus said, "It is the
Spirit who creates-life126; the flesh profits nothing"
(John 6:63). In Matthew 16:24-27, Jesus is also telling us that if we will not
compromise in our walk with him when man shuts the door in our face through
natural means, that He will Himself make sure that our soul is developed as He
intended. He will make the way (Prov 29:25; 1 Pet 2:23, 4:19). The Apostle
John said, "Beloved, I pray that in all respects you may prosper and be
in good health, just as your soul prospers." (3 John 2). As we allow
Jesus to develop our talents and abilities according to His purpose and plans
for our lives, which is our soul development, there will be a market for what
we have and thus financially and materially we will prosper. (Deut 30:9-10). I
believe this involves the maturity of our character as well. Noun: feminine

yuchv Soul
, Hebrew vp,n<,
the heart, mind and emotions of man. Man’s Soul is the means by which
he has self-consciousness, relationship with self. Second, it is the
medium between the spirit and the body. Third, it is what man becomes and
manifests through his physical body in personality, vocation, and lifestyle as
a result of, one, heart response to what he has learned through his mind body,
conscience, and emotions; two, through what he has received from God through
his spirit; and three, as a result of those abilities and talents God has
chosen to give him individually. Man’s Mind an organ of the soul, is
his computer by which he stores information gained through his five
senses--the body, spirit, soul, conscience, heart, and emotions. Man’s
Heart , kardiva
— 2588, the essence of his soul, is the part of man which decides how he
will respond to what he has learned through his spirit, soul and body; through
his mind; through gifts and manifestations of the Holy Spirit; through the
promptings of his conscience; and through his emotions. It is the volitional
part of man. That which animates the body in both men and animals. Noun:
feminine, 5590; from yuvcw,
5594. 2/443, 5/918/4, 28/CD, 31/CD, 28/CD, 31/CD, 37/CD.

rc;B;
1) flesh. 2) rc;B;AlK;
all flesh meaning all physically living creatures of both man and
animal. 3) flesh of blood relations, Gen 2:23. 4) flesh, meaning
in bondage to the bodly appetites and desires, Gen 6:3. 5) flesh,
meaning depending on the strength of men rather than God, Jer 17:5. 6) body
of both man and animals. Man’s Body is the means by which he has world-consciousness
and is the means by which he relates to and communicates with the physical
world through his five senses. Second, it is the means through which his soul
carries out Jesus’ love and plan for his life outlined in the Bible and
revealed through his spirit through union with the Holy Spirit. Third, it is
the means by which he gives expression of his soul-life. This is the reason
for the resurrection, because our bodies are the means through which we are
able to give expression of our soul life. The lost are also resurrected, and
the damnation of Hell is that they are no longer able to develop or give
expression of their soul-life through the body. This is what is meant by the
destruction of the soul: Destruction meaning no means to develop or express
their inward soul forever; absolute permanent frustration of development and
expression of the soul through the body: Hell. Jesse Penn-Lewis, in his book Soul
& Spirit, says the following about the constitution of man: "Tertullian,
one of the Church Fathers who wrote in the early centuries of the Christian
era, calls the ‘flesh’—or physical being—‘the body of the soul’,
and the soul ‘the vessel of the spirit.’ The soul stands between the
spirit and the body, for ‘direct communication between spirit and flesh is
impossible; their intercourse can be carried on only by means of a medium’—the
soul being that medium." Noun: masculine singular, 1320; from rc'B;
to anounce, declare, 1319. 1/123, 31/CD, 37/CD, 42/CD, 52/138.
