Sons to Glory! Could you please tell us of what practical application and benefit it is to know the difference between our soul and our spirit? I think we're all familiar with the verses used by Nee and Lee to support the tripartite view, so please don't just quote those verses as "proof". Now I happened to think that scripture does make a distinction, although I'm not sure it is not a distinction without a difference, and more importantly, what is the real practical application and benefit of knowing about the difference between our soul and our human spirit.
