MAN FROM EARTH MADE FROM HEAVEN: SOUL & SPIRIT! ARE YOU ALL IN THERE?
About this ebook
The preacher begins the sermon by serving what is
commonly known as the truth regarding our human makeup; Our Body, Soul and
Spirit or Trichotomy. After the serving of 2 scriptural passages used to
support this teaching the preacher then presupposes other biblical references
to support the game, thereby winning the match. But the games intended victory
is spoiled and far from over. The Trichotomist doesn't anticipate the referee
of scriptural disclosure, which will call the serve, fault!
The problem with this presupposition is the two
scriptures thought to be incidental to our human makeup. They are not the passages incidental to our
human makeup but rather make up part of the scriptural tradition and customary
language used to identify and describe aspects of humanity. Our humanity begins
with the book of Genesis and extrapolates throughout the Bible. I believe that
the Trichotomist is scripturally out of bounds.
The purpose of this work is
to clearly and scripturally demonstrate that we are not made up of three parts
(trichotomy) but two (dichotomy). I am persuaded that visualising ourselves as
separate states could result in restlessness and confusion. This teaching is
not scriptural in any way shape or form and has flavours added from ancient
Egypt, Persia and Greece. If we are going to bother the church with teachings
about our make-up, let’s bring the biblical truth to the table. One living
being; our spirit permeating every atom of the human body, the tangible and
intangible combination forming one being described in the book of Genesis as a
“Living soul”. Genesis 2:7

About the author
Dear Reader Saved by the skin of my teeth, God has called me and placed in my heart a passion for truth; not the truth of this world but scriptural. This truth that has set me free just as Jesus said it would. I am compelled to share what illumination the Holy Spirit has given and pray I may be of some use to His glorious Church. I am a personal student of The Lord engaged in biblical theology, history and hermeneutics, introduction into philosophy and basic pragmatics; through books, online lectures and audio books from professors, doctors in theology, philosophers and apologists like F.F. Bruce, Bruce Metzger, Gordon Fee, John Lennox, Ravi Zacharias, and Robert Gundry, Arthur Patzia and J. Harold Greenlee. Though I hold few earthly qualifications, I try to the best of my ability keep a critical view, looking from the outside in, exposing my work to other brothers, pastors, teachers and friends. I have many referees which are honest and not afraid to refute. I love my Lord Jesus Christ which has called me to join Him on this journey. He has taken care of me and my loved ones and given me the strength to carry my cross ‘till we all meet in glory.
I hope you will enjoy this book; “Man from Earth made from Heaven.”
