[quote name='Aloysius' date='Sep 9 2004, 10:58 PM'] well, a spirit is soul, just not a human soul. a human soul is intended to be united to the body, a angelic soul is pure soul, a spirit. [/quote]
i thought body, soul, and spirit were separate.


the body is obviously the physical, the soul is like our essence (who we are), and the spirit is, well, the spirit, the part that lives on after death, the part that is made alive in Christ.


triune beings created by a triune God.


i have absolutely no credible resources to back that up, but it makes sense. not something i particularly get caught up in or care all that much about though.

I wouldn't agree with the "whole being" part. God made satan, so there is a part of him that needs God, and he knows it. He hates that, but his hatred doesn't change the fact that he was made for Him, by Him... right?

Yeah... everything that Al and Jeff said.[/quote]
Yes. In so far as Satan exists his being is good, because God has created him, but Satan's will is disordered and is irrevocably opposed to God, and that is why he is damned.

Thank you guys for everything. I appreciate it all. Sorry again if this is a waste of time, but I am also trying to insert some debate topics that are fun to think about, and not neccesarily complex.

God bless,

Mikey
