My personal understanding of our nature is this: We are soul,
body, spirit, as God (Jehovah) made us in His own image and
likeness, such that He has been revealed to us as God the Father,
Son, Holy Spirit.
I view our soul as a fixed thing, created on the day of creation,
eternal.
I view our spirit as a type of broadcast mechanism from our
soul to interact with a particular aspect of God's Kingdom,
that which is spirit.
I view our body as another type of broadcast mechanism from
our soul, one which interacts with physical things.
These three together comprise us. Our soul is always in exist-
ence, but our spirit can die, and our flesh here on this Earth
can die (because of sin).
God promises to give us glorified bodies, which are bodies
like the angels which cannot be harmed and do not tire or
wear out.
When Jesus was raised from death, He received a glorified
body. He no longer bore the slash marks on His face and
arms and back, but only kept the piercings where He was
nailed to the cross, and the piercing in His side when He
was on the cross and, having just died, they pierced Him
to see if He was still alive or not, and out came blood
and water (the same things which come out at a human birth,
by the way, in that God birthed His own bride right then
by His death on the cross, taking on His bride's sin, so
that she could be made spotless and white before Him).
-----
In eternity, our soul will glory in God. Our spirit will
magnify God. Our glorified body will be able to serve God.
And none of that will be in the vain nature of how this
world operates, but all of it will be in the best of the
best forms we could imagine and more.
If you had a great job, working for a tremendous boss, and
were doing the thing you loved so much ... how much joy
would you have? Some people are fortunate enough to experi-
ence that here on Earth. But all who are saved will get to
experience that in Heaven. No greater God, no greater com-
mission than that which He calls us to, to serve righteous-
ness itself, truth itself, holiness itself, total purity,
and then everything such a state brings.
It's why God has completely isolated and separated all sin
from His eternal Kingdom. He has built a special place of
confinement for sin so that it will never influence the rest
of His creation forever.
These are my understandings from having read and studied the
Bible, having listened to many sermons, having spent time in
prayer and fasting, having sought God diligently for years,
and having been given periodic revelation into understanding
about who He is, and what He has in store for us.
If any of you have any questions, please ask. I will answer
as best I can, pointing you directly to scripture to back up
my guidance, teachings, and statements.
