Jas 1:21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.
This verse really helps point out the soul and how it ties in to Romans 12: 1and 2
In referring to the soul we see hear the soul is not saved, or renewed or restored. in other words we are to receive the word of God which is able to renew our soul.
Ps 23:3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name�s sake.
Who restores our soul Jesus or the word.
Romans 12:1 I beseech you therefore, brethren, by the mercies of God, that ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable unto God, which is your reasonable service.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.
These verses when meditated on will really bring understanding, notice how again we are talking about renewing, what are we to renew our mind.
In these verses the you is understood to be the Spirit of man or the heart, he is to renew the mind with the word of God.
Php 4:7 And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.
Now two sparrows you know you can't make that horse to drink, he has to want to, lol
3Jo 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
I remember not long ago some one mocking believers about health and wealth, not understanding it is conditional on the soul be renewed to the word of God, or buy the word of

From a primary word σῶς sōs̄ (contraction for the obsolete σάος saos, �safe�); to save, that is, deliver or protect (literally or figuratively): - heal, preserve, save (self), do well, be (make) whole.
Looks like saving to me.

George Where is it in scripture that the mind of man is Spiritual or has spiritual contact with God
Now you are telling others to use their minds.
This is a little hypocritical PJ.

3Jo 1:2 Beloved, I wish above all things that thou mayest prosper and be in health, even as thy soul prospereth.
I remember not long ago some one mocking believers about health and wealth, not understanding it is conditional on the soul be renewed to the word of God, or buy the word of God on the given topics.
PJ:I happen to be the one you are referring to..
I asked this question:
How does ones soul prosper,Physically,emotionally,or spiritually.
If this question is considered mocking by you,then what do you consider Yeshua calling the Pharisees a Brood of Vipers.
PJ,i am begining to see that you take both sides and play them one against the other.
You completely disagreed with my earlier posting about Believers using their minds to Meditate upon the word,
NO GEORGE I NEVER TOLD ANYONE TO USE THEIR MIND, I AM QUITE CLEAR ON THE SUBJECT, I AM WELL AWARE OF THE DISTINCTION BETWEEN THE SPIRIT OR HEART AND MIND
But after further thought on the subject this is how I see it;
God creates a body with a mind and heart and puts a spirit in it ; we become living souls. But the spirit and body are at odds, One is physical one is spirit. They vie for control much like man and a woman vie for the control of the marriage which would be the soul. But this is a battle the spirit of man is not strong enough to win. This is why we need a new spirit, the Holy Spirit who has conquered the flesh as evidenced through Jesus.
