Does Jesus have a soul?
dave:
I had totally understood until today??? ??? ??? ???
Jo. 4:24 God is spirit. But ray said, " The spirit cannot think thoughts,..." (from Kat)
Does that mean that God does not think thoughts?
"I am a soul, and I have (a) soul.
Suddenly we don't understand any more, because 'soul' is one of those "bible words" that's been obscured by religious visions of "souls" surviving dying, and being some "ingredient" in man. That's not what the Scripture (or Ray) teaches." From Dave in Tenn)
I believe what the Bible and Ray teach and that is Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
That is what I believe a soul is, a breathing creature. If man is a living soul, when did man get a soul?
I understand the words "breath of life" as man's ignition, his respiratory system for human life. I understand Ecc. 12:7 as the breath of life returns to the one who gave it.
""Does Jesus have a soul?"
In like manner, Jesus both was and had a soul. When He died, the "ingredients" of Spirit and body were separated. The Spirit returned to God (Who is Spirit) and the body went to the tomb. When He was raised from the dead, Spirit returned to his body and He became alive again...a living soul. His body clearly was changed (a promise yet to be fulfilled in us)."
Now, I have to re-study much. I don't believe in a trinity haven't for a long time. There is much that has become fuzzy reading this thread.

That's a collection of teachings where Ray explains this in various ways. My 'favorite' is the 'blue tape/yellow tape' example.
I'll only add that the Father IS Spirit, not "A Spirit", and not a man.
