No ... kidding.<br /><br />The reason I link the Spirit to the soul is because Scripture refers to Him in terms like "Don't grieve the Spirit" (Eph 4:30) (emotions), speaks of "the mind of Christ" (1 Cor 2:16) (mind) and how the wills of men were carried along by the Holy Spirit (2 Peter 1:21) (will). It seems like the mind, the will, and the emotions of God are expressed to us through the Spirit. Further, the Father is central (spirit -- core), but the Son became flesh and the Spirit inhabits us. In the same way, the body and the soul are more "out there", interacting. But you may be right. Besides, as I said, no parallel is perfect.Stanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04523232247971115247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30006406.post-14199237333613938562016-10-06T14:04:58.882-07:002016-10-06T14:04:58.882-07:00I actually reverse the Father and Spirit.

The Spirit and our spirit is the part that is able to communicate between the natural and supernatural. I come to this from our spirit being dead. It's not the Father that regenerates us, but the Spirit. Jesus did as the Father commanded, not the Spirit. The Spirit is left behind to communicate between us and God.
