Glad to be part of a "Featured Post" - whatever that is!
(I now see where this is . . . my agent will contact you soon for the royalties.)
And I'm glad you caught my earlier response to your question, as I had been wondering . . . So now I think I know where you are coming from. I can see that you had great experiences of Christ before knowing anything about your soul and spirit. Me too! (In fact, your experience parallels mine significantly in both the time-frame and actual experiences.) Thanks for sharing that - very clarifying (à la D. Prager).
So one might put a whole lot of things into the "What exactly is the practical application?" camp, couldn't they? Of course, just because we might not see much practical application for something in scripture doesn't mean it's not true. I think that may have been a point you were making - that soul AND spirit (different things) is in scripture and you get that, but
it's not an essential item of the faith and certainly not critical for the experience of Christ in one's life, right? If that's the case, then I wholeheartedly agree and thanks again for clarifying!
So with that understanding, does it invalidate this conversation thread or make it any less pertinent than other threads on here? Jus' askin'
