Default Re: Soul & Spirit - Same or Different?

In the unturned cake department . . . let us remember that the Anointing within is real too, and is a foundation of the New Covenant: "'This is the covenant I will make with the people of Israel after that time,' declares the LORD. 'I will put my law in their minds and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be my people.'" (Jer 31:33) The law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus -His Spirit witnesses with our spirit that we are the children of God! (Romans 8)

So to say scripture is the final authority, I understand that sentiment. But there needs to be both witnesses - the word and spirit!

I agree that WL went too far and went way off the mark, essentially becoming the word/scripture to followers. But scripture alone can be just dead letter, and therefore also off the mark. ("Ye search the scriptures, but will not come to Me that ye might have life . . .")
