Chapter 13: A Light On My Path

Page 6

James teaches us that the body without the spirit is dead.

“For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.” James 2:26

Some think they can express the spirit, soul and body [this whole] in a form of overlapping circles as you might see the trinity doctrine expressed. I am here to tell you that the soul manifests itself from within the overlapping spirit and body forces. It is the synergistic output of your total life and an

expression of the battle that is waged spiritually from within and without. Therefore, you would never see a separation of the body force from the spirit-soul force except when death occurs.

Thus, visually, the death of our whole being takes on the following

separation of forces. The spirit-soul force returns to God. This is the essence of who we have become. Our body then returns to the dust of the earth. Simple enough to understand until you get into various resurrection doctrines.

Spirit-Soul Body

Death Occurs When Our Spirit-Soul Leaves Our Body!

It makes sense that we will be with God when we die given what Jesus and Paul taught. Consider that Jesus taught, “those who believe in God Almighty [He who sent Jesus] already have everlasting life.” They have passed into eternal life and will not come into judgment. Example: I

am physically on this earth, yet I have already passed into eternal life.
