Nephesh/Soul Q+R

Here is our Nephesh/Soul Q+R! Thank you to everyone who sent in questions! We love doing these and hearing what others are thinking.

Q’s and Timestamps:

• (7:19) Sam: Why did Paul write that each of us has a soul, spirit and body in 1 Thessalonians 5?

• (18:57) Johnny: In Hebrews 4:12, it seems man is dual natured, physical and spirit, but how can we reconcile this by understanding man as a single natured being, meaning that man is a soul?

• (24:45) Daniel: In Psalm 63 it says that David’s Nephesh/Soul thirsts after God. What does that mean practically?

• (33:20) Kevin: What’s the biblical writers perspective on the future state of being? And how does that relate to burial practices like cremation?

• (45:47) Natalia: What do we actually know from the biblical writers and first century believers saying what our bodies will be like in the new creation?
